Obsession is always an interesting topic, but the subject matter here is dark and tricky. Patti handles it wonderfully. I know that the 'dead' moments are really well written, but I'd like to applaud the sex in there, too. Sex is so hard to get right (as a writer - I'm stopping at that), and here it's perfect.<br />Thanks for the link and the tip.<br />nigelNigel Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529578665251906089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732400542595601583.post-52801710308109432742010-09-28T13:33:55.311-07:002010-09-28T13:33:55.311-07:00Oooh, I can see how Raising the Dead could be made...Oooh, I can see how Raising the Dead could be made into a novel.
