This is the second book in the Euphemia Sage Chronicles series about a middle aged New Zealand woman whose latent hereditary superpowers were activated by the onset of menopause in the first book (Hot Flush). I read the first one two years ago and had been meaning to get to this for a while. You definitely need to read the first book to follow what’s going on here as there isn’t much recap.
Euphemia is busy trying to run her management consultancy business while hiding her superpowers from an annoyingly persistent journalist. When other middle aged women also start exhibiting violent super strength, she must help the police before more innocents get hurt.
Unfortunately this one had much more of a standard cozy mystery plot – not a genre I enjoy, and I didn’t like any of the main characters. It was way too obvious what was going on, much too early. As before, I enjoyed the Wellington setting (since that’s where we live) and some of the humour, but probably not enough to continue with this series.
