It's rare that a book can make me laugh, let alone a mystery novel. Sounds like this is really something special! Might try it out now, after reading your review. Thanks!

Than you for your review! I did enjoy reading the book. The only problem I had with it was the constant repetition when it came to the main events. Like when they retake they know to different people. Other than that, great novel!
And, of course, great review!

I think that from the title itself, the book seemed to promise a unique, irreverent and funny ride, so I'm glad it didn't disappoint. Thanks for such a wonderful review!

The attorney was a nice start to it, the three stooges certainly added to it. It kept me hooked from the beginning. Glad you liked it. :D

It's good to know how engaging and interesting the novel was... I'm glad it was humorous too. Thanks for the review
