‘Dead Couple Walking’ by Lawrence Ambrose starts with a letter that reveals an incarcerated man (Steven) reconfirming his complete commitment to the woman he loves (Janice), hoping that she, too, was on the same page. This is quite an interesting hook. It reveals just enough of the drama to draw you in.It then takes us to the modern day process of coupling through online dating. It’s a truly enjoyable exchange of emails that not only gives the backstory, but also provides insight into the personalities of Steven and Janice. What was to come next is a series of events that reveals the ugly side of uncoupling, with former partners slithering back in the scene and other people joining the fray, which result in laws being broken, death, manipulation, and just total chaos.This is a well-written story that depicts the highs and lows of falling in love amidst a complex backdrop. It is told from different points of view, which gives a new dimension to the storytelling. This is absolutely a page turner with a satisfying conclusion.
