This book has a weird plot to it, but that is also irresistible.
Mama, aka "Aunt Dora", who is pretending to be her "dead" brother's widow, and Horace leave the rundown end of Chicago for a house in the country: La Villa, IL. Mama entices Fannie a cook, three children, and a help, Bent, to help her out. Men are enticed to invest in her acreage. The plot thickens when one man shows up who is a brother to an investor who goes missing. Everyone is an accessory to Mama's plot. This story involves heads being chopped off, Bent getting drunk, the mansion being filled with kerosene, and Bent waking up to find his arms wrapped around a kerosene can. This story definitely has a different ending...
