I went in expecting a cozy mystery and it wasn’t quite that, had the tone but was a bit gruesome. Overall a good read though and the audiobook narrator is excellent!
A bit dated, I enjoyed that when it came to the technology but not the way the character thought about other women, which felt very of a time. At one point she honestly thinks “she hates me because she resents that I’m short and she’s tall and unfeminine.” The heroine also dates two men at once and plans fo introduce them both to her 6 year old brother on the same day, which seems like a weird way to handle the situation.

Graphic: Child abuse and Murder
Moderate: Rape and Stalking
