Low end of the pick scale, but that could be a me issue. I‘m easily bored by books about financial crimes, and there‘s a lot of that here. After 3 books where Greer Hogan dances around the edges of her husband‘s murder, in this book, she finally focuses on it and learns more about herself in the process. This is my least favorite in the series.

Can‘t sleep because I stupidly took a long nap in the afternoon, so I‘m starting this. It‘s the latest in the Greer Hogan mystery series.

robinb 🙋🏻‍♀️ I hate when that happens too! 3mo
KathyWheeler @robinb And I even know better! I never take naps because, when I do, they are always too long. 3mo
robinb @KathyWheeler Yes! My husband can take a 20-minute nap and is good to go. Me? I need an hour minimum. 🙄 3mo
KathyWheeler @robinb Same! My husband takes 15 minute naps and is rested. Mine are always over an hour and then I can‘t sleep at night. 3mo
