10. The PMS Outlaws

by Sharyn McCrumb

I have to admit, this isn't my usual reading fare, it was the title that attracted me. However, it was the writing and the story that kept me reading.

At first glance, it's the story of Elizabeth MacPherson, a woman who needs to come to terms with the disappearance of her husband. She has sunk so far into denial and depression that she checks herself into Cherry Hill Psychiatric Hospital.

But skillfully woven into Elizabeth's story is the story of her cousin Bill, a lawyer, who's been given the responsibility of finding a new home for his law practice; the story of A.P. Hill, Bill's law partner, who's desperately trying to unravel the reasons behind her old college chum's sudden transition from top notch lawyer to fugitive from justice; and the story of the PMS Outlaws, two women bent on exacting an unusual revenge on men with a wandering eye.

This was an excellent book and I highly recommend it.
