Her Deadly Touch

Josie whines about her dead granny.Josie finds a body.Josie whines again about her dead granny.People vanish. Joise: “My poor dead granny!”Josie is in the morgue, sees a body and, yes, you guessed it...And so forth till the very end.(Don't get me wrong: Practically everyone from previous generations of my extended family are dead. Four during the last three years alone. I know grief but I've never wallowed in it like Josie does.)This book is a mess... - Murder by carbon monoxide poisoning which occured in about 3 ‰ (per mille!) of homicides during the 20th century according to a quick research. (I couldn't find data for the 21st century that did NOT include murder-suicides...)- A bus driver who might or might not have been tricked- Organised crime killing small-town fences for not coughing up money- An abundance of hardly-believable characters- Even harder-to-believe what-ifs - and not only hinted at but constantly repeated literal “if only, if only”s- Drugs, sex - just no rock'n'roll- Lots of plot holes and loose ends- A Josie Quinn who basically permeates between bemoaning the death of her granny and somewhat accurately working on the actual caseTwo stars out of five because despite all that I finished this turd.
