Advance Praise
"...Panayota the poster child of
women standing firmly beside their values, she can also be described as the
last remnant of pride. Konandreas has thoroughly researched a bitter story of
misguided trust in the evolution of true crime. Written in an engaging format
closely resembling high intensity crime fiction, Better Dead Than Divorced is a
fascinating read worthy of a possible big screen adaptation" - Readers'
Favorite
"The events in BETTER DEAD THAN DIVORCED might have happened in a small
Greek village more than half a century ago, but the lessons that they impart on
the quest for justice and the power of unconditional filial love continue to
ring true up to this day." - Indie Reader
