My God, does this author hate women? The premise of this was excellent; who doesn't love a dinner party whodunit? But then the murderer was obvious. It's always the women, and there aren't many, so it's easy to guess the murderer. Also some characters seemed wasted. Why introduce an overbearing nanny to use in one scene?

This series can no longer be saved by the audiobook narrator.
