Hmmm? A small town newspaper reporter, the dauntless Henrietta, grapples to untangle a mystery involving no confirmed victim but various classic scenarios for murrr-derrr. * Love to hatred turned in a bitter divorce fight over who gets the "pots & pans." * Jealousy born of a lover's suspected intimate relationship with an "other" woman. * Hubris of body-parts snatchers following in the grisly footsteps of Dr. Frankenstein. * Lust for s-e-x; for gold; for the ephemeral stuff that dreams are made of; and for . . . * Revennnge: eye for eye, tooth for tooth, eyeteeth for eyeteeth, tit for tat, and so on. In this classic whodunnit-to-whom —— or is it a mystery of the abiding classic love story? —— author Simon Plaster, a fool perhaps, rushes headlong into literary noir where even angels fear to tread.
