I wrote about this here: 201/365 Lali’s Daughter’s Book

This was an Indiespensables selection and only the second one I’ve finished. It is a selection of short stories, all focusing on women. Many LGBTQ+ themes throughout with sci fi and mystic realism tossed in in for good measure.

I loved some stories (The Husband Stitch — a retelling of a children’s horror story with other horror stories thrown in), liked some and hated one (Especially Heinous — a 60-page collection of  Law & Order: SVU episodes that pertained to Heinous crimes against women).

When I got to Especially Heinous I nearly quit reading the book, but since Clare wanted the book and I promised I would give it to her, I pushed on and finished by the time we visited her in Olympia.

This book kept being recommended to me by Amazon’s algorithms so I finally succumbed and either bought it or borrowed it from the library.

I enjoyed it. It was very Hitchcockian and also reminded me of Where’d You Go Bernadette.

If you want a light, yet suspenseful mystery — this book is for you.
