really liked it
bookshelves: crime-drama, mystery

A treat for readers with a dark sense of humor. Oddly named Los Angeles private investigator Happy Doll (who'd prefer to go by "Hank" and who winces when he has to pull out his driver's license for identification) loves his dog, has been in Freudian therapy for years, and generally drifts by in a marijuana-induced haze, but has a really exciting week in this slim volume. There are multiple deaths, some truly horrific injuries to his body and a close call with "organ harvesters" before his world straightens out again. I laughed and cringed in equal measures, and will remember this one for a long time!
