At times, the author was trying too hard to be funny. It was just kind of a weird, tedious read. I hate to say that about anyone's writing and hopefully the writer has some really good stories out there but this wasn't one of them.

A very strange story about an Englishman, Mark, whose wife is cheating on him. She suddenly dies, and he covers it up by dressing as she. Mark begins to like the cross-dressing quite a bit. The accidental death of his wife's lover continues the bizarre story. Mark escapes to Rio where he lives as Madeline with a reporter as his gardener???? I couldn't tell if I liked it.
