Publisher Description
Film lover Barbara Marr is a typical suburban mom living the typical suburban life in her sleepy little town of Rustic Woods. Typical that is, until she sets out to find the missing link between a bizarre monkey sighting in her yard and the bone chilling middle-of-the-night fright fest at the strangely vacant house next door. When Barb talks her two friends into some seemingly innocent Charlie's Angels-like sleuthing, they stumble upon way more than they bargained for and uncover a piece of neighborhood history that certain people would kill to keep on the cutting room floor
"This fun if light novel's quippy, hilarious character, Barbara Marr, has so much warmth and genuine gumption, you'd certainly want her on your criminal investigative team." - Publishers Weekly
Customer Reviews
Lots of fun. Hard to put down.
At first, I thought the central character was highly neurotic and unappealing. Very quickly, though, I found myself drawn into the book and the kooky characters, and actually found it difficult to put it down.
If you're a fan of the ludicrous humour styles of Douglas Adams, Paul Herck, or Blackadder, you'll certainly enjoy this book. I honestly never knew what to expect next (and that is rare for me).
I look forward to reading all of Karen Cantwell's Barbara Marr stories!
A light fun read
Though I didn’t immediately like our heroine, she kind of grew on me. If your were hoping for a fine piece of literary writing, this is not the book for you. If you were looking for a light fun read, you found it.
