Another fun book in what is now a favorite series of mine! This unexpected but seriously close friend group, who are willing to jump out of the comfort zone so easily for each other and to try new things is such a delight to read about.  I feel like the MC is even more comfortable in this book so there are less gaffes and more genuine laughs.  The fact that Alice and her new friends love to snoop and don't pretend otherwise is refreshing in a cozy mystery like this one and I totally understand them trying to find meaning and purpose for their lives outside of motherhood (which is of course miraculous and important, but also important for mom to find her own purpose as a singular person).  As a newish mom I totally felt so many of the motherhood portions and wish I had such a close friend group, who would drop everything to help you and your new babe.  The mystery had me all twisted up and very shocked by all the reveals at the end! 

Note: I listened to the audiobook and so enjoyed the narration!
