by Marshall Karp - to be released in June 2010
Having read one of Marshall Karp's previous books, THE RABBIT FACTORY, I was quite excited to get this new Lomax and Biggs mystery. In Karp's latest, homicide detectives Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs are back again solving murders in Hollywood; this time with the help of FBI Agent Simone Trotter.
CUT, PASTE, KILL has the team searching for a scrapbooking serial killer who closely resembles actress Betty White from The Golden Girls.
As the story unfolds, Mike's home life is expanding with the addition of a very smart and sassy seven year old.
I'm not a fan of scrapbooking and I'm definitely not a fan of craft-themed murder books so I almost gave this book a pass thinking it would be a little too hokey. I'm glad I didn't since it turned out to be so much fun! Mr. Karp once again delivers a solid mystery story along with sharp and hilarious dialog that will have you laughing out loud.
A rare find.....a good mystery that doesn't take itself too seriously.
A "fun" murder mystery. Once again your recommendation showed me a winner. Can't wait to read Marshal Karp's other books. Thanks Lynn
