Welcome to Litsy!

Ignore this atrocious cover & enjoy the delightful book. The badass twins are back for more adventures. A depraved night club, midnight rides to rescue someone, the adventure level is high as the pair try to clear Lord Evan‘s name. I love the strength they show. The depiction of women not having agency over their own lives is both accurate & terrifying. I am begging the designer to represent these characters w/more dignity & less flowing nonsense.

Other than the egregious punctuation error in the title, this was fab. “Old-maid” twin sisters Augusta (Gus) and Julia are back in action, investigating dangerous mysteries from the past and working to right the injustices they uncover along the way. I‘m amazed at how Goodman tackles some very serious themes and dark situations, while keeping the overall tone witty, hilarious, and heartfelt. Looking forward to this series continuing!

I‘m just about to start this, I‘m really looking forward to it, and also: I cannot express how much it annoys me that it‘s missing the necessary apostrophe after “Ladies.” Ladies‘ Guide. Plural possessive. COME ON, publisher. 😫

I love this series! We return to our 2 middle-aged spinsters, with Gus trying to solve the mystery of who really killed the man her love interest was convicted of killing. Also trying to evade his brother, who is searching for their sister to lock her away again for sin of being a lesbian. Took a little longer for the action this time, but then there was a lot of it, as well as character growth, a lot of feminism, & romance. 5⭐️

Best dedication ever? Makes me even more excited to read this book.
