Maria Markis, tax inspector, comes to audit the Catchprice Motors family firm just as it is collapsing thanks to Granny Frieda, the worm that turns, daughter Cathy who wants to be a singer and grandson Benny who believes he is an angel. The unexpected knock-on effects of their interaction left me breathless....This decidedly weird novel may not be to everyone's taste but I found it a gripping, if disturbing, black comedy about dysfunctional families.
