Half Crocked — Margaret Lashley

Insanely funny! This is the wackiest, funniest series I've read in years!The minute I get my hands on one of these books, everything gets pushed aside until I'm finished. I am totally hooked on this series. Hook, Lie, and Sinker.When a string of idiotic decisions lands Bobbie in a boatload of trouble, she's got to keep a lid on her temper before she winds up on the next episode of Snapped! With her cousin Earl's hand in one pocket and partner Grayson picking the other, Bobbie's cash is disappearing faster than banana pudding at a Baptist pot luck. Oddly, so are the folks in the tiny fishing village of Astor, Florida. Then again, it's the middle of gator-hunting season. And with horrendous tales of a murderous beast trolling the riverbanks, just who's the angler and who's the bait is as blurry as swamp gas at midnight. Bang Sticks. Dead-Eye Gravy. Limbic Pentameter. Given the deadly school of suspects they're forced to wade through, the mismatched trio will have to cast a pretty wide net to snag this monstrous culprit. Will they be able to swallow their fears and tackle the mystery afloat? Or will they end up as the killer's next catch of the day? This is one fishy case that could spell their final recipe for dis-Astor ... Like Carl Hiaasen? Janet Evanovich? Christopher Moore? You'll probably love Freaky Florida Investigations, too! The weirdness of The X-Files and the unwashed insanity of My Name is Earl collide to form this deliciously snarky, totally abnormal mystery series. New from the author of the best-selling Val Fremden Mystery Series! What Readers are Saying about the Series: Hilarious, weird and entertaining!This series cracks me up! Amazon ReviewI have read Tim Dorsey, Carl Hiaasen, and Randy Wayne White. Those writers are funny but they need to watch out for you. J. HeinrichI've heard the expression I laughed so hard I cried but I never experienced it until I read this book. Amazon ReviewI read a lot, and Kindle suggested this book. (it's) laugh out loud funny. Is everyone in Florida crazy? Facebook ReviewNot a scary or over the top paranormal book. I stayed up until 2:30 in the morning reading it. It was just that good! I'm a real scaredy-cat, just not into reading about things that go bump in the night. It is filled with quirky characters, mystery and a lot of humor. So if you want to be truly entertained, READ THIS BOOK. Amazon ReviewPlenty of mysteries and slap stick humor with a backwoods redneck cousin thrown in the mix. I almost felt like I was reading a cross between Terry Pratchett and Piers Anthony. Amazon ReviewFull of wacky characters, amazing descriptions, and lots of theories of the unknown, this book makes for a funny mystery. Amazon ReviewRampant with humorous banter and fun interpersonal relationships over a solidly bizarre mystery and great characterization. Amazon ReviewThis is a rollicking ride from the very beginning with laugh-out-loud prose, rednecks, weirdos and Tootsie Pops...oh my! Amazon Review
