Reviews
“Politics and climate issues are entangled in a complex case that still has moments of humor. Ethel’s adventures will appeal to fans of Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series and Deanna Raybourn’s Killers of a Certain Age”
Library Journal Starred Review of Dangerous Women
“A bewitching political thriller . . . Ethel is perfectly drawn, an endearing heroine who’s clever and capable without being preternaturally competent”
Publishers Weekly Starred Review of Dangerous Women
“An elderly sleuth who looks like Marple but acts like Marlowe . . . An appealing hybrid of cozy mystery and P.I. caper”
Kirkus Reviews on Dangerous Women
“Recommend to fans of Richard Osman and Barbara Ross”
Booklist on Dangerous Women
“Add another wise, experienced senior sleuth to a group that includes Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series and even Miss Marple. De Castrique’s quirky characters and offbeat twists will appeal to Osman’s readers”
