It's time for another giveaway contest!
Earlier this week I reported on a great arrival in my mailbox. This one certainly looks like one designed to bring us all out of the end of winter doldrums:
Liz at Doubleday has graciously made two copies of this fun book available for giveaway to US addresses only. Sorry no PO boxes.
This lively, intricately plotted, laugh-out-loud funny, and surprisingly touching family drama combines the wit of Carl Hiaasen with the southern charm of Jill McCorkle.
Seventy-seven-year-old Marylou Ahearn is going to kill Dr. Wilson Spriggs come hell or high water. In 1953, he gave her a radioactive cocktail without her consent as part of a secret government study that had horrible consequences.
Marylou has been plotting her revenge for fifty years. When she accidentally discovers his whereabouts in Florida, her plans finally snap into action. She high tails it to hot and humid Tallahassee, moves in down the block from where a now senile Spriggs lives with his daughter’s family, and begins the tricky work of insinuating herself into their lives. But she has no idea what a nest of yellow jackets she is stumbling into.
Before the novel is through, someone will be kidnapped, an unlikely couple will get engaged, someone will nearly die from eating a pineapple upside-down cake laced with anti-freeze, and that’s not all . . .
Told from the varied perspectives of an incredible cast of endearing oddball characters and written with the flair of a native Floridian, this dark comedy does not disappoint.

50 years is a long time to plot revenge. But if someone gave me a radioactive cocktail without my consent ot knowledge, I'd probably pretty ticked off, too!

You don't often find the main character of a book to be older anymore. It would be interesting to see what her revenge was.
