4.0

A satirical novella that follows a widow who is convinced that her deceased husband is still alive and watching her. She starts to see his face everywhere she goes, leading her to question her own sanity. The story takes a humorous  turn as the widow delves deeper into the mystery.  An almost slapstick  psychological thriller and totally unlike anything else McFadden has done.  The story is fast -paced, sometimes a bit ridiculous and the twists pretty obvious, but still funny and very enjoyable.
