I was reading a review of a book and this sounds really fun. I think that I will buy it. Anybody ever heard of this? Not me!
The book is called The Doomsday Brunette. Great title and sounds so fun!
Here's part of the review.
There are some things that are just plain entertaining. Apparently, seeing a man hit/kicked/butted/etc. in the groin is endlessly hilarious. Seeing that ass who just blew by you at almost light-speed get pulled over is so satisfying. Flamingo chicks in the Spring bouncing up and down like gray popcorn all day has to provoke a smile. (Not everyone worked at Busch Gardens Tampa growing up? Never mind, then.) John Zakour and Lawrence Ganem's invention Zachary Nixon Johnson, the world's last surviving private investigator, is flat-out fun. Fortunately, he's returned in another hard-boiled adventure. Or lunacy, whichever you prefer.
Zach and his mind-linked AI, Harv, are caught up in a high profile case with complications that multiply as fast as the number of suspects. Who else would Ona Thompson, of the infamous Thompson Quads, call when one of her sisters drops dead during a dinner party at her hyperbole of a mansion? After all, she is the richest woman in the world, so hiring the top -- okay, only -- PI seems the logical reaction. Unfortunately for Zach and Harv, that is probably the last logical thing about this murder mystery.
Let's see... his employer and her sister are the result of cloning, have purple skin, include a superhero and a fairy queen. Poor Foraa, the anarchist, is that motionless, but attractive, heap on the carpet. The media which keeps a constant watch on the Quads is moving in for the scoop of the century. His relations with law enforcement could certainly use improvement. And Harv is making a few "improvements" of his own; his changes are enough to make a detective cry. Thankfully, they have the house computer, a sentient ape, and a decrepit butler to fill in the blanks. Now, if they would just fill them in truthfully. It doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon, however."
Sounds good, huh?
