Zombie
Olive was in danger of losing all rational purpose, of developing into a maggoty corpse, a shuffling zombie.

As mentioned earlier, when Olive playacted, she crammed her heart and soul into it. None could deny the loss of a brilliant actress in the flirtatious bookkeeper and cashier when she vanished from the face of the Earth. Throughout her life, she’d used her skills to hoodwink folk out of piddling sums of money or charm men into seduction. Now, finally, she’d received her material reward. For playing her most profound part, she’d made £187,537. To her way of reasoning, she’d earned every penny. It was but a reasonable payment for the risk involved.

But Olive had meddled with her personality, almost to the extent of schizophrenia. She’d become emotionally insecure, isolated from reality, and withdrawn into herself. In the daylight hours she sealed herself away in her house, referring to her bible and scribbling notes for her book. In the dark of the evenings, she roamed the streets of The Stables and attended the services at the All Saints Church.

She was in danger of losing all rational purpose, of developing into a maggoty corpse, a shuffling zombie.

    My rating: 4 of 5 stars

    I started reading this book because I thought it was a comedy. And it is, but it is also a romance, which is probably my least favourite genre. However, I won't penalise it because of that. I read along, often rolling my eyes and clucking my tongue at the clichés, but also chuckling here and there.
    It's well written, flows easily, tickles the giggle buds, and is a certain winner for those who enjoy sickly sweet romance.
