Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for access to an early release.
Best selling author David, is failing. His first book is a hit, his second, a failure, and now his third, his publisher won’t even touch. Then there’s his love life, a Jeremy he can’t seem to forget about. His financial troubles; and the family he can’t quite feel a part of anymore. Oh, and that obnoxious dead body in his bed.
I FLEW through this novel. I can’t decide if it was because it was good. Or because it was written so simple. The main character is charming, if a bit overdramatic. The storyline of this was a bit laughable, like what we want to do with the body, choosing not such good options. But if they had taken the better solution, probably wouldn’t have made for much of a story. So suspend your reality. Man, I had no idea the lengths a literary agent will go for their author.
This gave me vibes of the Flight Attendant meets Weekend at Bernie’s idea with a lighter tales from the Crypt episode. The humor wasn’t laugh out loud funny but the author took a darker subject and was able to spin it into a lighter tone. It was a fun read but I can tell it’s not one I would pick up again or stuck with me. If you’re looking for an easy mystery read, this could be a good pick.
