Waspish, wicked and witty, these confessions reveal a side to Laurie nobody really knew… or would admit to knowing. But can the words of a dead man be trusted? Laurie’s grieving loved ones are about to discover that comedy and tragedy are the same mistakes, made under different lighting. If Jo, Vivi and Rosy are ever to find peace in the future, they might need to lift the curtain on Laurie’s past – as well as their own. Can a dead man shatter your life one chapter at a time?
