Hi. Today, I’m reviewing You’d Look Better as a Ghost and like so many books I’ve been reading lately, this one is about a woman who kills and really loves doing it. She’s into it. It’s awesome. It’s funny. She has these wonderful thoughts about people. She has these wonderful ways of describing people. She comes up with little nicknames for everybody. There’s the Welshman, the ranting Welshman. There’s the, what else? Come on, Debbi. Oh, there was some good ones. It was just wonderful. The heron, she calls one woman the heron. There’s something else. There’s one. Oh darn. I mean, some of them are just funny as hell, really. And the whole thing is just funny as hell, really for a book about a woman who goes around killing people. But it’s not just random people. It’s people who shouldn’t exist in her opinion.
And you know how that goes. I mean, really. So anyway, it is funny and part of what I see as a growing, what can we call it, sub-genre of crime fiction—women who will kill and laugh about it later or let you laugh about it later. Something like that. I don’t know. Anyway, I love this book so much. There I said it. Okay, I will talk to you later then.
One more thing …
Oh, maybe I should mention something here about how occasionally memories come up from her childhood, which really kind of explain this person who seems to lack a conscience or does she? I don’t know. I’m not sure. There are actually some really interesting issues that I didn’t even talk about here that you could get into with some of this stuff. Great psychological stuff. Yeah.
So that went a little longer than I expected, so I wasn’t done. So yeah. So now I’m done, I guess. Anyway, loved the book. Yeah, you can put that up on a blurb or something.
“Loved the book!”
— Debbi Mack, New York Times bestselling author
No, I could say more. I’m not being paid or anything for this. I’m being honest when I say that I really loved the book because … nevermind, I won’t go there. I’ve already done that. Oh, too bad, huh? Now it’s three minutes long. Oh God. Stop, Debbi, while you’re ahead. Okay, will do. Be seeing you. Take care.
You can buy the ebook from any of these retailers.
You can also buy it in print from my online bookstore and support indie bookstores:
PS: Here’s an awesome guest post on Barnes & Noble from the author, Joanna Wallace. If I had a dime for every time I’ve heard that Barnes & Noble was dead, well … I’d be rich as that bald asshat you-know-who … 🙂
