Uch. This is why I don’t read books with women protagonists that are written by men. Awful, inconsistent character.
At the beginning, I wondered if she were deliberately written to be an unreliable narrator, but by the out-of-the blue, woo-woo, completely contrived ending, I had decided that no, this person just has no idea how women think.
Sure enough, Lydia Adamson is a pen name for a cis dude named Frank 🙄
Hard pass

Alice Nestleton is an actress who also takes care of cats while their owners are away. This Christmas she has a job sitting for 8 Himalayan cat on Long Island. She is looking forward to it. She gets to the train station to find no one waiting for her. She makes her way to her temporary home only to find the owner dead in the cottage she was to stay in. Not an auspicious start.
The plot for this was just ok. I enjoyed reading it because it was a quick read. But the mystery seemed kind of weak. I thought the Alice was a good character, but the plot seemed to wander alittle for me. I want to give this author a fair shake so I think I am going to try the next one in the series to see if there is an improvement. I didn't dislike like it, but I wasn't super impressed either. I was glad it was a quick read and had some enjoyment for me otherwise I would be done with it.
