But is she really the killer who hacked the former editor to pieces and shipped his body parts cross-country by UPS?

Now she covets the editorship of the legendary Algonquin magazine -- after all, nobody is a suspect forever...

Amusing if you have a dark sense of humor, a huge ego and a rather low opinion of people, in general.
I like a sociopath who knows herself so well that there’s just no point in even trying to pretend otherwise. A quite cleverly written character.
I only gave it two stars because this is far removed from what I usually read, not because it was poorly written or tedious. It bears some passing nod to Chuck Paluhniaks books...if you like him, you’ll enjoy this one!
I did finish it and not because I had nothing else to read. I won’t, however, bother to seek out other books by the author.

This is a really twisted, funny, creepy book. If you can get your hands on it (it is hard to find now) it is a must read for mystery, suspense, and noir fans.
