#ReadAllTheBooks’s Reviews > Night of the Living Deed > Status Update

I forgot that the whole reason Alison has her money is because of a sexual harassment lawsuit. Funny how the book doesn't call call Maxie's harassment of Tony also sexual harassment. Sorry, I know I'm harping on this but it leaves such a gross taste in my mouth. It's sexual harassment if you don't count unwanted kisses assault.

And Maxie proves again why she's a garbage person by shaving a child's eyebrows for a costume. In sure that will be great when the kids tease her tomorrow

Listening to it sped up now. Also, I like teenagers trick or treating. Better that than going out and drinking at a party.

Paul: Lighten up on Maxie even though she forced herself on your friend because she's having a hard time being dead. Now how's about solving this case?

I'm not letting that go. Screw Maxie. Her being dead and horny isn't an excuse.

Maxie is now suspected of bashing a wall repair in. Same wall she destroyed earlier in the book. Pair that with the fact she's angry Tony didn't welcome her sexual assault (forcing a kiss on him), I can see why she's being blamed.

So. Maxie sexually assaulted Tony by way of a forced kiss (that he couldn't see). It's interesting that her interest on him is somewhat portrayed as comedic. If the gender were swapped it likely wouldn't have been. It's not ok if it's a guy forcing a kiss on a woman and it's not ok vice versa. Maxie is really awful.

Amanda Ronconi is probably the main reason I'm still listening. Mystery is ok, but Paul is just an asshole to the point it detracts from the story. I keep hoping maybe the other ghost will hand his butt to him at some point, having come to like the heroine, but so far she's just a spiteful character who is mean to everyone but the daughter. It's like her only character trait is "mean person with eclectic taste".

Paul is really getting on my nerves. He doesn't seem to GAF if our heroine ruins the risk of being seen as crazy or getting arrested, as long as he gets what he wants right away. I mean, she gets sort of arrested and finds a body and his response is to chew her out for not bringing home the files. Her receiving death threats isn't even a reason he's so gung ho, it's a way to manipulate her.
