More like 2.5 stars. I kept starting and stopping. I was intrigued that the heroine was older, hoping I could related to her. Instead I was annoyed THROUGHOUT. Being 55 is not one foot in the grave. Being retired for a year doesn't mean you've forgotten everything. I didn't read the reviews at the start, and I should have. I'd read the Adele Sharp series and thought I might like this one, no sorry.
Next time, I'll do a bit of research first.

(not-so) Happy Reading!
