I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. From the publisher
Filled with over 200 lawless limericks and punny poems along with some quirky cartoons, all with a mystery twist. Don't miss the particularly peculiar chapters on Lizzie Borden and Sherlock Holmes. Includes a special bonus feature - the short story "The Case of the Stainless Spinster." Some samples of the sinister stanzas:
AX HER NO QUESTIONS
Abbie's chores in the guest room were licit:
Cleaning up after Uncle John's visit.
But she wasn't alone--
Came her stepdaughter's tone:
"Mrs. Borden..." "Well, Lizzie, what is it?"
NEVER TEASE THE COOK
Pretty Penelope Plowder
Is ladylike if you don't crowd her.
Her fiancé Jack
Dropped a clam down her back--
Don't ask what she put in the chowder.
This book is funny as all heck and full of nice and clean humour! The limericks and poems were so clever and the cartoons are wonderful and I have already shared some of these funnies with my fellow book fanatics! Great job!!!!
