Entertaining story.

When Polonia Appleseed was a child she saw her father murdered. She wasn't suppose to be out of bed so she hid. From her hiding spot she could only see one of the people but heard another person. The murderer got away but years later she still wanted to find the killer so she set out to find the person. At the funeral of her uncle, the owner of the last chance undies, she attempted to lure the murderer out since all the suspects were there.

I like the writing style of the author very much. She made Polonia's search for the murderer easy to follow with her smooth, detailed writing. This is an enjoyable book that is more of a mystery than a comedy - which I was expecting. According to the title and blurb it's suppose to be hilarious. I did not find it hilarious. Yes it is pretty funny that the dead guy had underwear that he called his last chance undies but that's the funniest thing in the book in my opinion. All the characters are nasty and greedy. So much so that it is funny. The Appleseed women are money grubbing, classy b*****s. No matter how bad they are, family is most important to all of them so they aren't all bad. Polonia is quite a surprise. Her family thinks she's odd so don't pay much attention to her thoughts on the killer. She's much smarter than they think though. Also the ending is quite surprising.

Please note I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

Hmmmm....

I didn't love this book, but I didn't hate it either. I did however get this book for free, for an honest review.
I am a very avid reader, if a book hooks me, get it read in no time. This book took me a week to read. I liked the characters, especially Polonia. The rest of the family are greedy, selfish, non-loving stick in the muds.
I wish Nott was brought in and actually had a bigger part in the story.
The wording was too much. Long paragraphs of flowery descriptions weren't needed for most of the book.
All-in-all, I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. I would give this author another chance, and read another story.

Enjoyed this book. It had your attention from beginning to end, when the murderer was revealed. Polonia was a little over the top, but as the book went on you started to understand she was smarter than she was given credit. The book also showed that blood definitely is thicker than water and greed can run in the family. This definitely was a family of mismatched characters. The ending for me was a surprise. Will definitely read more books by Lorain O'Neil.

A quirky heroine, more twists than a pretzel factory, a totally dysfunctional family and a decent mystery made this a very enjoyable read. I didn't really care for the telepathy angle in the story, but the book was a pleasure to read, so I didn't mind too much.

I received this book free in exchange for an honest review.
