What are you doing Joe

I am reviewing a book by Hamish Gome

What is it called

Author’s Day

What is it about

It is about many things

In short it is about a Venezuelan girl called Ann who was charged with the murder of her stepfather

That sounds a bundle of laughs

It is an interesting book

Tell me more

For many years after her fathers death Ann lived with her mother in reduced circumstances in Caracas

And then her mother met an American diver

He was an absolute brute who began to pester Ann but she totally ignored him

This brute threatened Ann by saying that he would take her dependent mother back to the US if she was not kind to him

So in theory she would be homeless and would end up on the streets

What about the mother

She had fought a serious habit for many years and was easily controlled

This sounds dreadful

Ann could not face the idea of being on the streets again so she shot her stepfather in the neck with his spear gun

What happened to her

Not much

She contacted the cops and explained what had taken place

But instead of dragging the case through the courts they ignored Ann and logged the stepfathers death as just another suicide

Some suicide

They saw something in Ann that would make their lives easier

She became the White Widow

This seems to be from a movie

I assure you that it is true

So you are saying that she was in the pay of the cops to terminate the scumbags in the capital

Yes the perverts the scumbags the bullies in short men who just hated women

Was the plan a success

Very much as the exploits of the White Widow became legendary

She was just over five foot tall and was a schoolteacher who would suspect her

A woman so ordinary as to be invisible

Where did it all go wrong

She killed the son of an industrialist who was a pervert and violent at the same time

His fathers money kept him out of reach and he was never charged

Ann made her first and only mistake as she sliced the perverts dick off and stuck it down his throat

It was a spectacular hit and his father began to pull strings

The White Widow was beginning to come into view

It was only a matter of time

Was she caught

No she was disappeared

Murdered

No far from it

She was killed in a car crash

Sorry Joe you are confusing me

She died in a real but fictional car crash

A tragic accident

The sweet schoolteacher who was smaller than some of her pupils was no more

Sometimes you wonder if there is a God

What really happened

She was spirited across to the US as she still had many uses

The mother

The mother sadly died

It was only a matter of time

Where is Ann now

Do you watch the news

Occasionally

There is a small blonde member of the Vice Presidents team

Her name is Karin Muller

Does she seem familiar

A little

She is half Venezuelan and half German

Karin lost her sister and identical twin in a car crash

It is something that she chooses not to remember

I think I might like to read this book

Be my guest Sephine

It is on the shelf in the study

Would you like me to sign it for you
