Oh, if only Audrey Rose's inner monologue had been a shade less...irritating? Other people have commented on this and to be honest I feel a little weird complaining about it, but our MC's feminism was bad. She ranted about equality and being considered equal at nearly every turn while talking down about the other women in the story and still clearly considering herself superior to the women whose murders she is investigating. Shaming sex workers and taking pride in your station are not typically hallmarks of a good feminist, and it turned her story from inspiring, as it was intended to be, to disappointing. I liked the story and the romance, and I'll probably pick up book two. But I dearly hope Maniscalco saw some of this criticism and made some changes to the way she writes Audrey Rose in the rest of the books.
