Re: JCO: MISSING MOM -- shall we dance?.

In the meantime, there was some movement here toward discussing JCO's latest
MISSING MOM in November. Who wants to kick out the ball? Okay, I will. I
read the opening scene about the Easter dinner at the victim's house and thought
that the murderer was seated among the guests as in a classic mystery. Did
anyone else start reading the book that way?
Also, would someone kindly lay out the main characters' names for us? I
loaned my copy to someone else and although I remember the structure of MM
pretty well, I have forgotten everyone's name.
Best,
Cyrano

finish reading it.
