The Four Ms. Bradwells by Meg Waite Clayton
2.0
I didn't really start to enjoy this book until 80 pages in. It seems I could never quite put together which character I was getting the story from. Then I thought it got better, but it quickly fell apart.
The story is about 4 women who have been friends since law school. They came together when Betts is going through the process of becoming a Supreme Court justice. Then we find out that there's a potential problem. The four women were at a house where an accident (murder? suicide?) took place during their last year of law school. We find out as the story progresses that the man found dead was also a totally jerk-off --really horrible man-- for many reasons.
The disconnect for me was why it was a big deal. I understand that he did a bad thing, but only 5 people knew. And I feel like we were never given a conclusion. If it wasn't an accident, who killed him? I didn't love this book (in fact, I wanted to abandon it)...it was really just OK.
