I've been looking for a good Queer mystery for a while and I've definitely found it with this book! Love the premise of four aunties taking justice into their own hands. It was a bit slow in the beginning, but that’s fair as you really get to know the characters. The mystery was well done and not too predictable. I liked that it was not a murder they’re trying to solve but something else. As well as the discussion of why justice is hard to find in legal ways for some people. Plus the Queer, Trans and disabled representation in the book was great.
I do have to give a warning (which the author also does in the beginning of the book), the sexual assaults might not be on page, but some of the aftermath is, so be sure you’re able to handle that when you start the book.
