"A woman of 75 has been judged and stereotyped countless times for countless reasons, and it doesn’t stop as they grow older. All of this can be used to a serial killer’s advantage," says former Marin resident @samanthadowning.bsky.social

Can’t Wait Wednesday - Too Old for This by Samantha Downing @smariedowning @samanthadowning.bsky.social @berkleypub @prhaudio @prhaudio.bsky.social #TooOldForThis #CantWaitWednesday
Can’t Wait Wednesday – Too Old for This by Samantha Downing @smariedowning @samanthadowning.bsky.social @berkleypub @prhaudio @prhaudio.bsky.social #TooOldForThis #CantWaitWednesday
Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. I got excited the moment I first saw this mentioned.

PRE-ORDER THIS ONE RIGHT NOW! I've read and loved everything by Samantha Downing, but this just might top the list. It's darkly comedic, the timing is pitch perfect, and the last line? Chef’s kiss.

Thanks @samanthadowning.bsky.social for the early copy of this absolute gem of a book!

I wrote six sentences today and I'm feeling rather proud about that.
