    Very enjoyable. I've read five of the Walsh Sisters series in the past few years and would heartily recommend them to fans if chick lit or looking for an immersive series, especially in audio format. I feel like I really know Mammy Walsh and her brood. I have some Irish family and certain turns of phrase/attitudes/sayings really remind me if them. Very enjoyable, very witty, and the characters are very well rounded.

    A bit of a different direction for Keyes with a sort of crime adjacent plot for the Walsh sisters. Enjoying getting to know Helen more, and seeing some depth to her. I am glad I came to this book after the other four... While I didn't read them in strict order I think this fits better knowing the past four. I'm still puzzling the solution and can see where I think it is going... But we shall see!! I might be totally wrong... I often am!
