The Murderous Urges of Ordinary Women

Buy Here $33.99 -

Lois Meltzer brings together four ordinary women, best friends, who have awakened to find their still vibrant Selves wrapped in the folds of middle-aged bodies, suddenly marginalized by the passing of time. At first upset that they have become "invisible", they come to realize they can use this to their advantage. And if they can, so can other women in their situation. And so their "Book Group From Hell" decides to go global: they put up a website, "call-to-flabby-arms.com", the purpose of which is to liberate their peers from lives without efficacy. And so it begins. Small things at first: rudenesses are redressed; insults are repaid. Later, as the movement grows: banks are robbed; an eco-rapist is blackmailed into doing the right thing; a Supreme Court Justice is kidnapped... all with the intention of making at least a few of the things that are wrong, at least a little right. And the invisible, dispossessed women are, sure enough , beyond (or below) suspicion. That is until a technical virgin of an investigative reporter begins to sniff around...

From the cover art to the very last page, Lois Meltzer pulls the reader in and never lets go. A masterful humorist, her insight into human behavior deepens our understanding of ourselves, even as we find ourselves laughing out loud
