The Grateful Undead

Leslie O'Grady. Larcom Press, $22 (194pp) ISBN 978-0-9678199-8-3

A cheeky, spirited former actress with a talent for attracting trouble ""the way billionaires attract supermodels"" returns to her Connecticut hometown and hams her way into a job as the assistant to a handsome PI in Leslie O'Grady's The Grateful Undead. A teenage girl has disappeared, and it's up to Wanda Miranda LaFortuna to navigate a world of murder, disaffected adolescents, would-be vampires and her own Hollywood-sized ego.
