A review by jeanne25
Cold Dead Hands by Jeff Strand

3.0

I received this as an ARC from Cemetery Dance last year. My history with Strand's books hasn't been positive so I put it off. I love dark humor but Strand's brand seems to be more like a slap schtick movie. I see the merit in it. There is definitely an audience for it. It isn't for me. This book wasn't horrible. (None of his books I have read are horrible.) There were redeeming points but overall I tend to find his humor incompatible to mine. I would compare it to when I talk my husband into watching American Idol. While there are entertaining bits, overall he would rather be watching anything else. I am rounding up to 3 stars because I know this isn't a quality issue but a personal preference.
