Things haven't been going well for Charlie Miner. His work as a private investigator involves him with an endless roster of shady characters. His ex-wife is borderline crazy. And he hasn't been getting to spend anywhere near enough time with his teenage daughter Mindy, the one person in his life who truly matters to him. When he wakes up on a slab in the morgue with a hole in his head, though, things get even worse. Just before the shooting, Charlie was investigating a case involving fraud, gold, religious zealots, and a gorgeous woman who seemed to be at the center of everything. Even with a fatal bullet wound, Charlie can connect the dots from the case to his attack. And when his daughter is abducted by someone involved, the stakes get exponentially higher. Charlie needs to find Mindy before the criminals do the same thing to her that they did to him. After that, maybe he'll try to figure out how he's walking around dead. Irreverent, circuitous, and surprisingly touching, Down Solo introduces a crisp new voice to suspense fiction.… (meer)

Its a good hard-boiled mystery. The premise is a bit weird, and its never fully explained. And the mystery itself seems a bit overly-complicated.

The characters are well done and the story moves along at a good pace. There is a fair amount of violence, but not to excessive for this type of story. ( )

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a honest review

So what really drew me to this book was the cover. Yes I judge a book by its cover almost all the time. It usually does not turn me down. And again I find myself correct. This was a very funny quirky mystery. Definitely a type of book I have not read this year. I am glad I am branching out and reading books I usually would not, because I have been finding a lot of GREAT books this year. Go ME.

Ok so the book….

Imagine you are a detective and a very pretty girl needs your help. You go about working on a case and the next thing you know you are waking up in a morgue NAKED. Don’t remember a damn thing… and the biggest kicker….You have a bullet hole in your head. What the hell?! I would definitely mark that as a bad day. But for some odd reason you are giving a second chance in life. I don’t know if you would count yourself as a zombie…but definitely not living. Now to add to your already shitty day, your daughter has been kidnapped, and your house was just burned down to the ground. Yup a very crappy day. Now for the last kicker. You were a heroin addict before you died and now that you’re dead you are still craving the stuff and need to go find your drug dealer. WOW

See I told you, you would be hooked.

This is such a fast page turner you really won’t want to do anything else but finished the book to see what happens next. You will giggle, snort and roll your eyes throughout the book. This is ok… Rule of advice, if you’re going to bring the book to the john with you, don’t camp out in there, your family will frown upon this!

Enjoy! I know I did ( )
