This was exactly the character arc Frank Tripp needed. To see our smooth-talking rogue instantly decimated by Mamie Greene was delightful. He is honestly flailing for most of this story, and I do so love competent women felling men who are a bit too assured of their own competency. While Mamie's charity work/Robin Hood persona felt heavy handed at the start, it builds out in a way that feels a heck of a lot more meaningful and compelling, and I appreciated our murder-trial-sub-plot for accelerating the camaraderie between main characters. This is spicy and tense and funny with some big villainous moments (don't worry, Frank will take care of it). Can't wait for the rest of the Uptown Girls.
Graphic: Domestic abuse, Sexual content, Murder, Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Sexual assault
Domestic abuse, injury/injury detail and murder all associated with murder sub-plot and side characters. Sexual assault is attempted on-page and involves the female main character.
