Despite my best efforts to slog through the audio book, it just really couldn’t keep my attention like the other books in this universe. 60% through and I called it quits despite originally being willing to try to tough it out.

The cover image here is diabolical and so much more sinister than the version on the audiobook 😭😭 in general i am anti-sanitization of smutty book covers via cartoony/cutesy character art but in this case.... maybe preferable

At first, I thought this would be like a longform Miss Marple case. Cozy, hilarious, slowburn, one clever old lady (or in this case, a group of old folks) solving crimes. But then Elizabeth and Ron showed up with their crazy ideas, and I quickly realized this is more like Miss Marple on steroids. 😂

I love the pace of the book. It just feels like a narrator rambling to me about stuff. i find it so endearing. it’s perfect for an audiobook version. like a friend giving me the 🍵. do i remember all the names? of course not, lmao, but what’s important is the gossip of what’s going on in Cooper's Chase retirement village.

Tell me what helps you read faster - and tell me actual tips that have helped you, because I want to read so much moreeeeee For me what helps is listening to audio books while I draw, i get through large chunks of the book, but that's not always possible...
