Death and Faxes

Rating:
Summary: Amusing and disturbing at the same time
Review: This book was considerably better than I had expected it to be, and while Molly's fax cards were somewhat amusing, I just didn't think this book was as humorous as it was intended to be. The theme of Molly returning to her childhood home and dealing with all the people she couldn't stand in high school gave the story a dark tone that was at odds with the feeling that I was supposed to be laughing. It also seemed that O'Kane couldn't decide whether to make charicatures of the old high school stereotypes or delve beneath the surface, so when she did try for a deeper examination, the character interactions seemed unrealistic.

The mystery itself, though, was quite solid and shows promise for the series.
