Time Travel Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog where readers take a look back at what they were reading this time last year (or the year before or the year before that…)

Last year, towards the middle of May 2024, I had just finished Old Girls Behaving Badly (Old Girls, Book 1) by Kate Galley

My Review:

I absolutely adored this book. This was my first by Galley and it most certainly won’t be my last.

Told in alternating chapters between octogenarian Dot and her 71 year old recently hired companion, Gina, this was a funny, warm and mysterious story. Do not let the charming cover fool you into thinking this is only light and fluffy–at its core, this is a strong mystery set in an English manor house. Galley isn’t afraid to tackle tough topics like divorce, grief and moving forward and she balances all that with such heart.

The setting was so vivid I felt like I was right there with Dot and Gina, surrounded by an eclectic art collection and wondering who I could trust. I simply loved this five star read. Perfect for fans of The Thursday Murder Club series.

Look like book two in the series The Old Girls’ Chateau Escape released in January of 2025! I need to get that on my TBR.
