Customer Reviews

Humor Is Very Original

This is the author's first novel and the book has many strengths ,although too much space is given to peripheral issues such as the protagonist's sagging marriage and her desire to return to flying. The humor is very original, however, and that is enough to make it an enjoyable reading experience.

A book that hits so close to home

This book would have been great without the murder mystery. I can relate so well to the insanity that this woman is going through. Funny and touching.
