A review by trevert
Night of the Living Deed by E.J. Copperman

2.0

Billed as frothy and a cozy mystery, and it was that. However, the lead character's tremendous sense of entitlement ("Everyone else on the planet should clearly be thinking only of MEEEEEE and removing every difficulty from my path!" "I hated that bitch instantly because she had nice shoes." "What is WRONG with impossibly perfect guy that he did not read my mind and know I wanted him to do X?" And so on...) really soured me on the character. Spending the whole length of the audiobook inhabiting this woman's headspace was exhausting and teeth-grinding. The male characters were all either impossibly perfect or sleazy; the female characters were all hysterical over-reactive nitwits or manipulative evil bitches. It's weird how so often it's female-focused "chick lit" like this that comes off much more sexist than any macho Jack Reacher book.

In any event, it had some humor and ghosts and a bit of mystery. It wasn't the worst book I've ever read by far, but I won't be revisiting this particular series.
