Cherise the Niece by Jim Benton
3.0

This is an entertaining if slightly repetitive rhyming story about wee murderous Cherise, who does in her dopey aunts in a variety of ways. Frankly, given that none of them seem to suspect this endless series of "accidents", I classify them as "too stupid to live" and feel not a jot sorry. If I'd have read this at any other time I might have given it four stars, but it had the misfortune of being read directly after Jemima Puddle-Duck by Beatrix Potter, which for very, very black humour leaves this for absolute dead.
