"Her aunt's funeral had receded to a two-day-old blur of memories. Wilting gladioli. Nameless cousins. Stale finger sandwiches."
Okay, anyone who had the same sick thought about the poor authorship of a book which has the idea of funeral and "stale finger sandwiches" so close in proximity to one another deserves a reward! Or at least a "thanks for not making me feel like the only one who thought that" remark.
I'm tagging notscarysteve, swampers, madman_legion, lauralyrics and bemusedsurvivor. Let's see what we can do! Oh, and the book which was closest when I read this was Harvest by Tess Gerritsen, a book a guest left for any interested cleaners. It sits now, lazily awaiting my leisure.
