while i tend to like stuff with a bit more edge, i enjoyed this. it's is a kind of a cozy who-done-it with lots of peculiar characters. what sets this novel apart is the author's wicked sense of humor. she lovingly skewers English village life, which ...more

well done! here we have a parable, or better still a cautionary tale about youth, beauty, and privilege in the fast lane in NYC. there's everything you'd expect: race, class, drugs, alcohol, the law, there's even a suspicious death. the pretty is oft ...more

Quotes by Richard Wagner  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I can't see the logic in medicating a grieving person like there was something wrong with her, and yet it happens all the time... you go to the doctor with symptoms of profound grief and they push an antidepressant at you. We need to walk through our grief, not medicate it and shove it under the carpet like it wasn't there.”
Richard Wagner, The Amateur's Guide to Death and Dying: Enhancing the End of Life
