The cover blurb uses words like "hilarious" and "in the spirit of Carl Hiaasen", but I didn't think these applied to this book. The story is somewhat dark, not cozy, and with very little humor. Hiaasen's books are a bit weird and quirky. This is about a woman who has lost everyone she ever loved, beginning with her parents as a child, and is a recovering alcoholic. One day she receives a letter from her mother, presumed dead for 35 years. Yup, a real knee slapper.
It was emotional and mysterious, even frightening. I enjoyed the characters and will read another.
