While I quite enjoyed the Old Girls' Behaving Badly, unfortunately the Old Girls' Chateau Escape fell flat for me. I think this was mostly because it felt like the mystery had little to no stakes - that it was just there. I also felt like the multiple POVs distracted from things and that they weren't needed to keep the tension, as I was invested in Gina and not really anyone else. What I enjoyed about the first book was the relationship between Gina and Dorothy, and since it wasn't as present as in book one, I didn't feel as engaged. 

Nevertheless, there were some redeeming moments, and I'd want to see what Dorothy and Gina get up to next. 

Thanks to NG and the publisher for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.
