Having read both the original Ink, Read, Dead and the newly revised version I can honestly say that the revisions that the author made were perfect.The basic plot of the story remains the same.  Kiki and her friend and co-worker Clancy go to set up for a crop party at Marla Lever's house only to find that Marla is a hoarder.  Marla not only hoards junk but numerous cats.  They also find Marla in her room and that she has suffered a stroke.  This is not all that is found in Marla's house.  Later that day a dead body is found in Marla's freezer.  There is also the matter of the women who have just seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth.Of course, there is always the relationship between Kiki and hunky Detective Chad Detweiler.The author addressed hoarding head on.  I know that some readers will find hoarding aspect of the book disgusting but this is a real disease.  There have been numerous instances of hoarding in the news. Including instances where people have been found dead in stacks of junk.I won't give up the ending of the book, but if you have read the original version you will love the new and revised edition.This was another great Kiki Lowenstein mystery.
