- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lita - the strong, in your face, make no excuses female character is to be liked. There were more humorous scenes in this novel as compared to "Dead Above Ground". For example: When Lita slaps Aunt Dot so hard it sends her to the ground (she deserved it). Throwing the oyster loaf all around the hospital room and the nurse having to break it up (page 136-137) FUNNY, or at the funeral when it's revealed that Gloria (Stepmother) has a will claiming ownership of the house, but rather than confront Gloria themselves they tell Aunt Dot whom takes care of it as they pull away from the church in the hearse (page 188-189) HILLARIOUS! I really enjoyed this book and "Dead Above Ground". I look forward to more from this author.
