    A unique and funny black comedy that satirizes many different aspects of our culture. I enjoyed it and was pulled in from the start.

    The way Heise wove in friendship, humor, and mystery was truly masterful. While it was a quick and easy read, I was hooked from the first page and couldn't put it down.
