The Wickett Sisters in Hell

by Stephen W. Houser

Mardie Wickett never gave much thought to the possibility of an afterlife. Plodding through her earthly existence was enough of a chore, working just enough to pay for good times with bad people while her brilliant estranged sister, Mili, solved murders for Scotland Yard, Now both sisters are dead and in the grave, one in Heaven and one in Hell. Surprisingly, things aren't so bad for Mardie in the infernal burbs, until a headless corpse is discovered on the steps of Lucifer's own residence and all Hell threatens to break loose. The Devil brings Mardi and her sister together to unravel the mystery of a murdered man slain among the damned, forcing them to try and form the friendship they never had in life. Will trying to solve the crime make or break the Wickett sisters once and for all?

It was like the book was trying to do too many things at once, and didn't manage to do any of them really well. There was so much world building going on that you lost the mystery at times. It was trying to be funny, but wasn't quite. There were undoubtedly some bits of social commentary included, but they didn't really resonate with me. And I didn't really connect with the main character. On the upside, it was a quick read.

An odd little book. A murder mystery set in hell. How does someone get killed in hell? How can a person in heaven get sent to hell to solve the crime? Whoa - look at the famous names that reside in hell! Who’da thought!

It’s quirky. It’s short. A fast read - and you do want to keep reading. But don’t go looking for deep philosophical things here. It’s a fun little book.
