I couldn't stand THE LOVELY BONES. I really don't know why it
was so popular. For starters, I couldn't get past the dead
narrator, the girl in Heaven.
I Was Dora Suarez is not actually narrated by the dead woman,
but by the detective who "became" her while working on the
case, if I remember correctly. I didn't get too far with that
one because it threatened to get really gory. It may not
actually be any worse than dozens of other novels I've read,
but I didn't take the chance. Maybe one of these days. I
really like Derek Raymond's other books.
Carter by Ted Lewis might qualify. It's been discussed here a
number of times, so I don't think I'm giving anything
away.
