Another fun romp across East Texas with Hap and Leonard. The two friends and now partners in the PI business run by Hap's now wife, Brett, are hired by a mother and her son who are also Pentecostal white supremacists to find the mother's missing daughter, Jackie, who is also called Jackrabbit because of her prominent front teeth. Hap and Leonard agree to take the case even though they are not too thrilled with the religion and prejudices of the the mother and son. This takes them to Hap's hometown of Marvel Creek where they get involved in the murder investigation of Jackrabbit's father, a former preacher who believed in lizard men and other conspiracies. So what happened to Jackie? She had been involved with a black boyfriend which was not taken kindly by the racists in the community nor by her brother. The people in Marvel Creek all seem to be hiding something, especially a man called Professor and his minions. All is definitely not as it seems...
Again, as usual, this one was filled with violence and off-color humor and was highly entertaining. Some of the characters from the last novel are also present including Pookie, Leonard's new boyfriend who is also a police deputy, and the "400-year-old-vampire", Reba, who is being watched over by Hap's daughter, Chance. There is only one more novel left in this series, The Elephant of Surprise. I don't have a copy of this so may have to check it out from the library.
