The Battered Body | 
so-soI think this may be the end of this series for me. I don‘t like the main character, and I don‘t care for the 19th century attitude toward women — women with careers only seem to be okay if they run bakeries or other shops. The journalists and the cop get vaguely punished for their careers. This book is also less about the mystery than it is about the romances between various characters, and that was boring. #cozyinthesun @Librarybelle @ferskner
suzisteffen Cozies are so often iffy in that department. Hate that. 😢🙃 5y
KathyWheeler @suzisteffen They really are often iffy that way, and I don‘t know why. 5y
Librarybelle It‘s a shame about the series 5y
ferskner Ugh, this is unfortunately too common in cozies. I want the quaintness without the misogyny! 5y
KathyWheeler @ferskner Me too! That‘s one of the things I liked about Checked Out — it‘s lack of misogyny. Often, too, cozy writers equate strength in women with being demanding and shrill and insisting on their own way despite common sense. Checked Out didn‘t do that either. 5y
