Predictable

The Kellerman book: On p. 236 I just knew the kid who’d had his hands & head blown off with a shotgun was still alive because the body that was cremated wasn’t his. And his missing landlady, who vanished 4 days after his ‘death’, just had to be with him.
    Surprise! Ike is still alive on p. 478 and Sophie, the old lady, is ga-ga on p. 479. Getting there took bloody long enough!
    Afterthought: there’s something about the eyes and the smile of the author’s cover picture that makes him look like an ideal psycho killer for an episode of Murder, She Wrote.
