2.5* Started of all right, but lost me sort of halfway through.

Jeanie’s on her hen do, which she seems to have been bullied into by her sisters. Sisters that are old enough to know that some things just ain’t funny anymore. Or weren’t ever. Anyway, Jeanie tries to make an escape and stumbles over a dead body.

With a day to go before Jeanie’s wedding, friends (and co-workers at the bad girl detective agency) Amber, Clio and Jeanie decide to investigate. Chapters are told alternating from their three perspectives.

At first I liked Amber and Jeanie, but Clio not so much. But both Clio and Jeannie seem a bit dense. Perhaps it was the advantage of seeing all three perspectives that made some twists obvious from a mile away, or perhaps the writer was a bit too obvious about things.

I stopped liking Jeanie when she became whiny, seriously disliked her when she started arguing stealing a car is a crime. She was fleeing quite possibly from the murderer and she was on her way to protect her children from criminals that might hurt them. And under those circumstances she wants to take the moral high ground and not take someone else’s car?

Story picked up a bit after that, but I wouldn't have blamed Jeanie if she had slapped Tan or grabbed his arm and marched him out the door.

I read an ARC through NetGalley.
