New York Times-bestselling author Lisa Lutz conspires with-or should we say against?- coauthor David Hayward to write an original and hilarious tag-team crime novel. Meet Paul and Lacey Hansen: orphaned, pot-growing twentysomething siblings eking out a living in rural Northern California. When a headless corpse appears on their property, they can't exactly dial 911, so they move the body and wait for the police to find it. Instead, the corpse reappears, a few days riper . . . and an amateur sleuth is born. Make that two. When collaborators Lutz and Hayward (former romantic partners) start to disagree about how the story should unfold, the body count rises, victims and suspects alike develop surprising characteristics (meet Brandy Chester, the stripper with the Mensa IQ), and sibling rivalry reaches homicidal intensity. Think Adaptation crossed with Weeds. Will the authors solve the mystery without killing each other first? Watch Videos

A decent but ultimately fleeting novel - the fun is really in the relationship between the two authors and I highly recommend it for its meta-literary nature. Not so much for the plot or characters... Really more of a 3.5 book than a 4, but on the 4-side of 3.5.http://t.co/74mKuCb

This isn't your typical book. Yes, there's a plot and characters and stuff but you read it more for Lisa and David. Both talented and hysterical, their notes to each other make the book. The book is well written and disjointed; a product of the mad writers. Really, if you like mysteries, humor and a...
