Apropos of the subject matter, I devoured this book. Dorothy has an incredibly distinct narrative voice, and I appreciated the faux memoir satire of it all. The writing about both food and murder and sex was visceral, sensual, and a little bit over the top. There were certainly parts that made me want to vomit a bit, but the descriptions of the food brought me right back in. A fun quick read for a darker sense of humor.
