A Special Place for Women by Laura Hankin

Solid.
 

The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth

 

Meh.

The Mars House by Natasha Pulley

 

This was so, so good.

The Last Mandarin by Louise Penny and Melissa Fung

 

I don't normally love Penny, but this was so much fun. Eunice Wong was fantastic. And I loved the idea of a political thriller that wasn't a steaming pile of toxic masculinity.

The Left-handed Twin br Thomas Perry

 

Meh.

Missing, Presumed by Susie Steiner

 

Solid, but the ending could have been better 

Happy & You Know It by Laura Hankin

 

Solid, with a great twist at the end.

The Candy House by Jennifer Egan

Meh. 

We Don't Talk about Carol by Kristen L. Berry

 

Decent.

The Shippers by Katherine Center

 

I mean, I'm slightly embarrassed by how much I enjoyed this. It really shouldn't have worked, but it did.

The Puzzle Master by Danielle Trussoni

 The only thing I liked about this was Eduardo Ballarini.
