I always enjoy Hap and Leonard. I thought I wa Ted a little less mayhem and more plot, but I was wrong. The detective agency , while it gives a rational explanation for their exploits, feels too “small” for Hap and Leonard. They are a force of nature. Some humor , as always, outlandish plot involving pet cemetery and battles involving backhoes ( )

Coco Butternut is a fun Hap and Leonard novella in which they are working for a man trying to get back his dead, mummified dog. Yep, dead and mummified. Therein lies the Lansdale humor for which this series is known.

Hap and Leonard are now a family affair, what with Hap's partner Brett and Hap's daughter Chance. Together they try to solve the mysteries of dead dog blackmail. What a hoot!

I'm looking forward to season two of the show, as well as catching up on the Hap and Leonard books that came out before I was aware of them. It won't spoil anything to read this short novella out of order. It will definitely make you laugh out loud a few times and who can't use a little laughter in their lives?

Recommended!

*Thanks to Net Galley and the AWESOME Subterranean Press for the e-ARC of this novella in exchange for my honest review. This is it.* ( )

"Meeting people in a graveyard to swap money for a corpse. Murder. Arson. Bad language from my father and uncle, a stakeout."

Pretty much sums this one up! The corpse is a dog, named Coco Butternut (or Butterbutt, as Leonard calls her), and H&L are hired to exchange a bag of money for her body. Easy, huh? Well, nothing ever goes easy for these boys. And hence, this story.

Probably the best H&L short story I've read to date! Has everything I enjoy in their books, including Hap checking out the young woman who owns the bicycle shop below their office. That always makes me smile! ( )
