Product Description
When Caroline's husband Bobby abandons her for Stacie Gracie, his assistant at the meat counter, her sisters are quick to decide that she must be avenged. Their usual method - aritual involving pentangles, vodka, masking tape, a frozen head and of course, six black candles - is unconventional, but swift and deadly effective. But does Caroline really share their enthusiasm to see Bobby violently dispatched, and will the sisters stop squabbling for long enough to perform the spell?

I don't mind paying money... I don't mind supporting writers... I loved the idea... The big, massive, huge, problem was that this author seems to have decided that editing is not a necessary procedure in the genesis of a book. So I endured sloppy spelling and poor structure and sentences that ran out of steam so just went on and on and on and on. Such a shame because this could have been very good. Instead I feel I wasted a couple of pounds.

a very very funny book,I love the way the book is written.you feel as if you know the characters and being a woman; that you can relate to each one in different ways especially those wicked thoughts that enter our heads,,when we want to get our own back on people that have done something to annoy us. the author obviously has studied his sisters well. A book that you cannot put down and as for any men reading this book you will probably think twice about having extra maritial affairs.

I liked this book on a lot of levels, perhaps more than I disliked it on a lot of other levels. I suppose the fact that I am roughly the same age and grew up not 5 miles from the author coloured it. Frankly I didn't recognise the type of people portrayed, the attitudes they expressed or the backdrop of crushing poverty except in extreme caricature of the reality of Coatbridge at the time. And, for the record, I am as working class as Mr Dillon. I understand that it's a novel not a documentary, but for me it tried too hard to be both and at times the author's clear anger with "the establishment" (particulalry literary agents and TV moguls!) showed through simply as sour grapes. Beautifully written in places however and the man clearly has a gift for wordcraft.
