Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

LENNY MARKS GETS AWAY WITH MURDER by Kerryn Mayne is ultimately about a woman who very much sticks to herself and her routines while blocking out a traumatic event that happened to her years and years ago.

I found this story to be just fine (very similar in vein to ELEANOR OLIPHANT), and was hoping it would have more Molly the Maid vibes, but, unfortunately, I found the mystery to be lacking and the suspense non-existent.

While this book was an interesting character study into Lenny Marks and the beginning quarter of this novel set her up quite nicely, I did find myself rather bored with it by the end.

I can see others enjoying this one, but it wasn’t for me!
