Satisfaction Guaranteed. Morrow Burgess is an American as Hartford. She is black haired, blue eyed, nymphlike in body, talented, her family respectable New Englanders, Mayflower stock. Why then does Morrow rob graves for a living? And why did she make off with Jonas Salter's pornography collection in a van truck? Her parents, Grace and Chester Burgess, are typical, doting parents. Why then did Morrow bite her mother? And what is that thing Chester is building in the back yard, a sarcophagus? If the whole Burgess clan is so respectable, why did they have to be driven away from Gramma's funeral with a rifle? Don't you believe for one movement that the Burgesses are cursed. Take Euripedes Faversham Burgess, lawgiver, fondly referred to as Rip. He was interred in the family crypt in the year marked, 1835. They just can't help speaking of him as if he were still alive, can they? Moreover, why did the respectable successor to the Kennedys, wealthy, ambitious Vin Plowman, put aside his career in order to make Morrow Burgess a super-celebrity? And why did he, like the Burgesses, suddenly begin to flake? And his parents Nat and Vicky Plowman: he owns half of Connecticut she knows half of Connecticut. Why did they purposely give their son and the Burgess girl that strange house a wedding gift? Why all those rumors about the young couple? Why does Morrow need all those pills? Why separate bedrooms - and where does Vin go every night? The Confetti Man is the second novel to come from the pen of beautiful Bonnie Jones Reynolds, whose first, The Truth about Unicorns, was a notable success.. Book Condition: Very Good.
