Girl Waits With Gun

More like 3.75 stars, I liked it but did not LOVE it.
I'm writing this review to my future self because I know at some point I am going to pick up the second book in this series(?) and ask “should I read this?”
Here is what you liked: the setting. Paterson is where Shannon's wedding was so you were just in that area and had a mental picture of what the streets look like and could imagine them in 1914, no problem. You love the time period. You didn't love that these three women seemed adrift and lost in life. Having hobbies is not the same as actually living a life, and when the time comes for the bills to be paid that question comes to the forefront quickly.
The snarky writing was pretty awesome, until it became twee and got on your nerves. Fleurette was 17 years old and had the behavior of a 2 year old. There was an actual temper tantrum.
Norma and Constance have a Grey Gardens vibe to them that may or may not be a good thing.
I appreciated the fact that the mother figure was deceased, remembered with respect, and not missed. That was refreshing!
I had really wanted to listen to this in audio and I still think it would have made a wonderful listen.
So, future self, here is the deal. Continue on if you can find an audio of Lady Cop Makes Trouble, otherwise...meh.
