Title: A bit over the top, but what the heck, it's fun
Review: This novel is fuelled by the paranoia of the two main characters which eventually infects the other characters in time to bring about a satisfying conclusion. Vanessa Koehler who writes alien abduction and giant rat stories for a weekly tabloid has witnessed a murder by her former boy friend which she's sure has been arranged by her father. She hires a lady lawyer who is renting out a room to the murderer to defend him in spite of the lady's inexperience in criminal law. What follows is a thriller which ends up in a courtroom and while it defies credibility, it is loads of fun with enjoyably quirky characters.
