Narrator January LaVoy's perfect performance enhances this thriller about middle-aged women taking charge despite society's attempts to keep them down. When Harriet's husband cheats on her and she is unfairly passed up for a work promotion, she cultivates magical botany skills. Gym owner Jo feels her superhuman strength growing. Nessa's ability to hear the dead has resurfaced. The women's paths cross when they discover a teen girl's corpse and realize many girls in their community have gone missing. The audiobook alternates between the current mission to find a killer and flashbacks to pivotal events in each woman's life. LaVoy's range is masterful: A man's patronizing tone quickly changes to placating, Harriet's laugh in a CEO's face sounds genuine, and heartbroken sobs pierce Nessa's speech.
