Another Hap & Leonard book, I've been hot & cold on the series as of late. This one was funny, no doubt about it, I was laughing out loud several times on my walks to & from the office. There is some gratuitous promotion of Lansdale's daughters music career, but if I had the platform I'd probably do the same for my loved ones.
The bigger issue to me is, as I listened to this book I kept thinking I had already read it. I had to check the publication date several times. Hadn't read it, just knew what would happen before it did each time, I assume because the plots/actions are so similar to past Hap & Leonard books.
But those are probably nit-picky complaints. These books are written for people like me who have followed the shenanigans of these two lovable losers for 10 or so novels now. We'd keep on reading them no matter what the plots. It's the back & forth wise-cracking, not the plots, that keeps us reading.
