A well told story so well told that I did not like the narrator. She is harsh to her grandmother and her grandmother’s best friend by coming in after a long time away and tries to make them move out of the family home they share in order to get them both in an elder care facility. Leia Birch Briggs finds out her grandmother has Alzheimers and is getting worse and that this has been going on for several years but her best friend took care of her and never told any one in the family how severe it was getting though they both were up in years and neither got around that well so they always held onto each other to walk. Leia’s grandmother was appalled by all the rabbits she kept seeing and the things they were doing (multiplying). O.K. no one else saw the rabbits, but, I think her better tack would have been to find someone to come in for a few hours each day and look after them rather than just in bust in out of the blue and tell them what they were going to do because she said so after years of not worrying about her granny enough to see how she was doing? Leia is a graphic artist who writes and illustrates her own books. She is queen on the Con(vention) set and has a fling with a gorgeous guy dressed as Batman after they imbibe a little too much and fall on top of one another. Turns up later she is going to have Batman’s baby. The story has a lot of good twists and turns, funny dialogue and I did enjoy the book very much. Don’t want to give too much away but Leia’s hateful blunderbust charge in take over and run the show attitude is what sets the whole story and a giant mystery into play. A good WHO DID WHAT, WHEN, WHERE and HOW.
