(plus 17 on my "watch" list (includes OJ Simpson's new one). I know I will not live long enough to read all of these)

was married to one of the people on my list. It's a small world.

The formatting is a bit spotty on the kindle version (two people speaking in quotation marks in the same paragraph, with the reader left to decide who is speaking which sentence, text abruptly ending mid-sentence halfway down a page as if the chapter was done, but continuing at the top of the next page as if uninterrupted, etc.), but the story itself is pretty good so far. I have the second one lined up to read as soon as I finish the first.

Please tell me that Joe Billie lasts thru the book and maybe even the next one. Everytime I like a character the author decides that this is a good time to break fadedrose's heart and kills him...why is that?
