A delightful mystery, one that builds between the past and present to come to a rocking conclusion. I admit I saw the twists coming, but the way Prose tells a story is engaging enough that it didn‘t really matter. Molly continues to see things that others don‘t, and to capture the world in a unique way. Some of her insights are probably the best kernels in these books. A very enjoyable series, and one I‘ll continue on with.

This book has been on my TBR forever it seems. It was a quick, good read. It‘s a “who done it” which I don‘t usually like-but this was a good one! I wasn‘t sure that I liked the way that the main character was portrayed at first, but I understand why it was written the way it was, especially at the end. I‘m glad I finally read this book. I understand that there are more in this series which I‘ll most likely read.

Took myself on a little mid-chore/errand lunch date and if there‘s a bakery next to the brewery, you might as well get dessert and keep the break going, right?!
I started this today and was enjoying it, but after a while it almost felt like the author was making fun of Molly, making her just TOO gullible and oblivious… I dunno but I put it aside and I‘m reading my creepy BOTM instead (and I eyed the attic hatch pretty hard just now 😅)

squirrelbrain I thought exactly that about Molly - I didn‘t much like the book as a result. 5mo
mcipher @squirrelbrain I‘m glad it‘s not just me! I‘ll probably finish it but don‘t think I‘ll read any more in the series 5mo

TheSpineView 1. I thought there were too many POVs. I felt it diluted the story. 2. My favorite plot line was the murder mystery. I also think the story would have been much better if it had focused on that and no more than one subplot. 3. My biggest takeaway is not about the story per se, it is that this could have been two separate books. One about the murder mystery and the other about the class struggles. 5mo

The_Literary_Jedi Multi POV would‘ve been better if there was less about social class; I was intrigued by the murder/mystery and wish it were the focus; I also think this would be better as 2 separate stories (edited) 5mo
Ruthiella @The_Literary_Jedi @TheSpineView I agree that this could easily been two novels, one that focused on the murder mystery and one about the class division and unrest. It was too packed with ideas for any of them to really be dealt with satisfactorily. 5mo
Ruthiella Annalee Newitz blurbed this book and I did think of her book The Terraformers, which we read last year, in how Manibo shows a gender queer friendly future. I appreciated this aspect of the book. (edited) 5mo
TheSpineView @Ruthiella "Satisfactorily" Yes! This story left me with a feeling of want. 5mo
Larkken Maybe the multiple povs would be ok if they weren‘t all so unlikeable 😆 5mo
Larkken @Ruthiella @TheSpineView yes, a bit overpacked and I didn‘t fully connect with anything as a result 5mo
kwmg40 I did not manage to read this book in time. I'm still waiting for a library copy, but based on the mixed reviews I'm seeing, I'm not sure if will get around to it. If someone says, “Yes, this is an absolute must-read“, then I will keep it on the TBR list. 5mo
RamsFan1963 I didn't care for any of the characters, they all seemed so shallow and self service, I couldn't find myself rooting for any of them. There were a number of things that annoyed me about the book, I felt Ava being transgender was used as a gimmick and she was never filled developed as a character. I did get into the mystery of who killed Ava's brother (and why), but then the conclusion kind of made the whole mystery kind of a moot point. 5mo
TheSpineView @RamsFan1963 I agree with you on the characters. They were rather two-dimensional. It was a gimmick. 5mo
