What if the dinosaurs faked their own extinction?
New in the genre-bending, species-bending, gender-bending romp of a series.
This is the "awesomely funny...cult classic" (Entertainment Weekly) series with the "incredible idea-brilliantly executed" (Brad Meltzer), that inspired Dave Barry to ask, "What would the world be like if the dinosaurs hadn't gone extinct?
For one thing, L.A. would be even weirder than it is now."
Enjoy the most satisfying rex yet...

Hard edged, dependably fast-paced,

This review is from: Hot and Sweaty Rex (Dinosaur Mafia Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the grittiest of the three "Rex" books and just as enjoyable as the previous two. Possibly moreso as the humor seemed less forced at times. This was a hard-edged story laced with humor, whereas the first two books (especially "Casual Rex") seemed the other way around.
A great series - can't wait for the next installment!

This review is from: Hot and Sweaty Rex (Dinosaur Mafia Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book picks up where "Casual Rex" and "Anonymous Rex" left off; Vincent Rubio - the dinosaur detective - is now off the herbs and looking for action. He does NOT expect to end up working for the enemy . . .
Fans of Eric Garcia and the Dinosaur Mafia already know what to expect. Those who don't - in this world, dinosaurs are NOT extinct, but have adapted to live among us - unseen due to the use of disguises, girdles and lots of glue. What is amazing is that while you are reading the book, you just go with it because Garcia has created this world SO convincingly. Not to be missed by anyone who enjoys darkly funny noir.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Hot and Sweaty Rex (Dinosaur Mafia Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
'Anonymous Rex' was our favourite. I am just finishing up 'Hot and Sweaty Rex' and Mr is working his way thru 'Casual Rex'
We hope that Garcia comes out with more Vincent Rubio for us to enjoy!
