Of the three, WMC iWas the best.

WMC was short but good story, but not the best of the series. 4 stars. January LaVoy was awesome as usual. The other two stories…MEH! Don’t know that I would’ve purchased them separately.

But, where’s my full length story?!?

I ordered and waited because I thought this would be the next full length WMC book. It was over as soon as it began!
I’d really like to get my credit back to use it for another full length book, please.

Disappointed

Definitely not worth the money. Only about 2.5 hours of a lack luster story. Don’t waste your money.

Not worth it

Love the Women’s Murder club and January LaVoy is amazing- as usual.

But tell me, why don’t make narrators have to be good at female voices? Meanwhile, LaVoy does make and female well.

Not sure it was worth it. The second story wasn’t bad. I didn’t like the ending and could read more about the Texas Ranger.

The 3rd story isn’t even worth listing to fall asleep to.

Just filler to sell a piece of garbage

It's obvious this series has run its course. James and Maxine It's time to retire the women's murder club. I will be returning this book.

Disappointed

Wanted a new women’s murder club book and got a short story with two others attached. Not as advertised! A package should be advertised as that.
