Dear Debbie by Freida McFadden This story was so entertaining and I feel bad for being entertained because it's also so wickedly evil. If you ever need help, write to Dear Debbie. She'll have to be diplomatic in her official letters but she has a secret file where she writes what you should really do if someone is giving you grief and the grief-maker just might not live through her advice. While Debbie can dole out the advice, her life at home isn't running so smoothly. Her husband seems to keeping secrets and her daughters seem to think Debbie's ideas are at the bottom of the trash heap. She's not even allowed to talk to her oldest daughter, talk about losing control of a parent/child relationship. And, on top of everything, Debbie has just lost her job which doesn't mesh well with whatever is going on with her husband. I can see Debbie, running amok and killing people decades from now, in some nursing home. She's that kind of character, always thinking, always scheming, always plotting, and everyone had better beware. This was a fun time while watching from afar (the other side of my Kindle).
