The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

The one I ordered yesterday still says preparing to ship- I really hope they get it out tonight, I paid for overnight shipping and really would like it before the weekend.

I think it is great that Amazon is dolling these out in small batches. That way more of those people who are buying for personal use are able to get them.

That was close ... unfortunately ... I ordered, hit one-click, but the order did not go through.  Someone beat me by seconds.  Oh well, I'll try again.  Leslie, YELL LOUDER next time  Grin

Woo Hoo!!  What shipping speed did you order?  Hope you get it soon.  And just think, because you're cancelling your original order, someone else will get theirs that much sooner.  Your good deed for the day.

Congratulations Bruinboy!  I just got my email saying the refurb for my mother shipped from KY at 1pm via FedEx. Hopefully should have it tomorrow, guess I'll be taking the laptop to work tomorrow. Now I need to run up to Kmart for an SD card.

Did one day shipping.  Not sure when it will arrive yet.  I live in Omaha, smack dab in the middle of US, so not sure from where it will ship.

Yay bruinboy, its possible you get yours tomorrow. I remember when I ordered mine it gave a time as in, if you order within the next 2 hours 34 minutes or such it will get here tomorrow with one day shipping. I think I could have ordered until 4 or 5 pm central time and it would still have come the next day. I guess it depends on what time you caught it.

Wohoo, you are going to love it. Where you not one like me that held off the refurb for a new one? I took a while to break too  Cheesy

Don't worry Atunah.  Your cake is safe, even though I am half German.  Maybe that's why we held out so long for a refurbished one!!!!  It takes a bit of work to get a German to change his/her mind.  Anyway, I'll have my Kindle and coffee with carrot cake, which I requested, and got by the way, at our wedding 38+ years ago.

And, Leslie, I did go to "Manage Your Kindle" and moved it from "Richard's Second Kindle" to "Cubby."
