The Mystery of the Lost Husbands was a work of women’s literature by Gina Cheyne
I just had to read this book after browsing through the blurb. Whether Anastasia was a quadruple murderess or not, it sounded like there were at least four juicy stories to tell!
Miranda, Stevie and Cat ran a pet detective agency called “SeeMs”. The name implied reality could be very different from assumptions made on first impressions. This was their first attempt at solving a murder mystery, and it could be the women ought to concentrate on finding lost animals.
The chronology was cleverly worked out, with information gathered over a series of visits and interviews. Secrets were revealed, and the culprits were unexpected. A series of bad choices and coincidences reflected real life in a convincing fashion. I felt the multiple voices distracted somewhat from the narrative suspense, but the philosophical observations were sound. I would say this volume satisfied the criterion for drama and female-oriented literature more than who-dun-it. My copy was accessed as a sneak peek through Hidden Gems.
