3.0 out of 5 stars A good & kinky read., December 20, 1999

This was the first Kinky Friedman book I read, having known of him by reputation for many years. It lived up to all I've heard of his books: fast-paced, quirky humor, a wild cast of characters, a touch hard-boiled. But Dashiel Hammett he's not. As in many mystery novels, the writing in this book, although fun, breaks no new literary ground and is typical for the genre. If you're looking for a good, easy read, you'll certanly enjoy this!

5.0 out of 5 stars My fave volume by the Kinkstah, January 2, 2002

This review is from: Greenwich Killing Time (Paperback)

I picked up "Greenwich Killing Time" on a whim...partly because of the cover art and partly because it was in the $... sale table at the local bookstore. Thus I became addicted to Kinky's tales of his Village Irregulars, his family, and especially his cat. I can sing along with all his tunes. I own, personally, a guitar pick with "Kinky" emblazoned across it, a gift from the man himself. You know...in rereading this, I realize that I sound like a really sad, pathetic person. Hmm. Maybe he'll put me in one of his books.

This review is from: Greenwich Killing Time (Paperback)

This is a very enjoyable page-turner mystery. It is hip, literary and chock full
of one-liners that made me laugh out loud. I ran out and bought his other
book after reading this.

The author is a folk singer in real life who places himself as the protagonist
private eye in this novel. Lots of fun.
