5.0 out of 5 stars I laughed out loud, February 9, 2000

Joan Mazza "Author, speaker, poet" (Mineral, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Death Comes for the Critic (Ghostwriter Mystery) (Paperback)

author of DREAMING YOUR REAL SELF: A PERSONAL APPROACH TO DREAM INTERPRETATION

What a convoluted, clever, and witty book! Noreen Wald's flair for humor and unforgettable characters is a pleasure. Readers will clamor for a return of Glory Flagg and Modesty M. Wald's spoofs of stange news events left me rolling on the floor. Wait until you get to Halloween in Greenwich Village!
