RaveShelf AwarenessLives up to the promise of tension and hilarity suggested by its title ... Sensational ... Extremely entertaining ... Harman incorporates plenty of very funny social satire, which, in addition to her skillful plotting, gives the narrative depth along with its sizzle. Fast paced and engrossing ... A book that readers are sure to enjoy and will want to share widely —before it inevitably shows up as a series on one of the streaming services.
RaveShelf AwarenessReaders of both classic mysteries and literary fiction will enjoy this intermingling of the two in Louise Hegarty\'s first novel ... An utterly fresh approach to the standard whodunit that adds emotional heft to playful pastiche ... Hagerty infuses this play on the traditional narrative with other self-referential commentary and winks at genre specifics ... Skillfully manipulates the genre, calling attention to the reader\'s expectations and subverting familiar tropes in the service of nuanced storytelling. A thoroughly satisfying and thought-provoking read.
