This story is darkly amusing.  Our fearless heroine, Linda, has recently become a ghost and is haunting the boyfriend who killed her.  She is tormenting him until he reveals where her body is buried.  It's going to be a loooong wait and Linda has lost her patience so she hires a PI to find out the information.  The PI is the most appealing character in this motley group so  it helps to have him narrate.  We meet the slimy boyfriend, the gay couple next door (who may or may not be involved) and the local loan shark crew. This story is fast paced and did I mention short?  This is not a full length story.Although Linda and the rest of the crew are not the most like-able bunch, they are colorful and entertaining.  It's not a who-dunit as much as a where is it plot.  The mystery surrounding the location of Linda's body slowly unfolds with a heavy "ewwww" factor.  The ending is sweetly ironic.This story can be read in one sitting and is a fun read if you like offbeat characters.  Based on this story, I would purchase others by this author.
