Title: The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club
Author: Gloria Chao
Genre: Mystery
Rating: 4 out of 5
The body in the closet was going to be a problem. Kathryn Hu knew it. Yes, Tucker Jones was a cheating scumbag, and yes, she’d agreed to meet Olivia and Elle—Tucker’s other girlfriends—to exact revenge for all he’d put them through… But then they found him. Dead.
Do they look guilty? Yes.
Do they feel guilty for having wished him dead just hours before? Maybe a little.
But—solid motive and a crime scene covered in their DNA aside—they’re innocent. They swear.
To clear their names, Kat, Olivia and Elle team up to find the real killer. But as they go undercover and lie to everyone, including the hot detective working the case, they realize that every person in their ex’s life had a reason to want him dead. Will they uncover the truth before they go down for a murder they didn’t commit?
Talk about a comedy of errors! This made me laugh several times, and the podcast transcript irritated me. Tucker was the worst—especially how he made Kat, Olivia, and Elle question their worth, even before they found out just what a jerk he really was. Kat’s opening bad days was a lot and made me really emphasize with her. I liked her and would be happy to read more about her.
