Review: Predictable, but not bad for .99 cents

This creepy little short was actually quite good. I'd never read any of her stuff before, and honestly, I picked it up from Audible simply because Susan Bennett narrated it.For a .99 cent book, it wasn't a bad read. The plot is pretty straightforward. Maureen, a victim of domestic abuse throughout her long marriage, finally gets the courage to off her husband, Tommy, as he slowly wastes away from cancer.Several months later, she discovers a gift he left her stashed away in their attic. It's a GSP. But Maureen quickly discovers her GPS is haunted by the spirit of her dead husband, and he wants revenge.I think Weiner wanted this to be a goofy-yet-slightly creepy Halloween short, and it sort of works. But there are times when Maureen is extremely slow on the uptake and that detracts from the overall story.If you want to be a little entertained and just want something that's a quick read, you'll probably like this book.
