Product Description:
Who would slap an Indian curse on a good ol' boy like country singer Willie Nelson? Probably the same person who's been firing shots into Willie's hotel room and sending nasty notes promising the cowboy crooner a one-way ticket to the big rodeo in the sky. Could it have something to do with the medicine man who got run over by Willie's tour bus one dark night? If anyone can find out, it's ace troubleshooter and well-known troublemaker Kinky Friedman--on the road again in his tenth wickedly funny, off-the-wall mystery caper.

"Roadkill" is Kinky Friedman's tenth novel and and was first published in 1997. As with his other books, Kinky has cast himself as the amateur-PI hero - though he doesn't take too many liberties. The book's Kinky (unsurprisingly) is a cigar-smoking, cat-loving, espresso-guzzling, whiskey-drinking, ex-country and western performer. As usual, Kinky isn't the only `real' person to appear in the book : Rambam, Ratso and McGovern - Kinky's `Village Irregulars' - have all been based on actual friends. ... Read More

You don't mind if I do something of a Kinky career retrospective, do you? I'll fit this book in there.
TEN LITTLE NEW YORKERS by Kinky Friedman
If you've read any of his novels, any at all, ask yourself how in the heck you describe the guy. It's a matter of sifting through superlatives, knowing they all apply, and hoping you chose the most accurate ones.
Kinky Friedman was a county and western musician who was probably too original for the establishment. ... Read More

Kinky, feeling like he has to get out of New York City for a change of pace, jumps at the chance to ride with Willie Nelson for part of his tour. However, Willie is not acting like himself and soon one of Willie's roadies is shot. Kinky looks into it and crazy characters from Willie's life spill into Kinky's seriously odd world of friends.
The mystery is not too hard, but it is worth the listen just to hear Friedman's odd twists of phrase. Lots of fun.

I have loved just about every Kinky Friedman book I've ever read. For me, Friedman has a unique voice and an off-the-wall sense of humor. Before I opened the cover of Road Kill, I wondered if Kinky would persist in describing things as phlegm-colored. True to form, he used the adjectives "mucouslike" and "phlegmish" ---both on the second page. His use of "Nixon" as a verb for a bodily function is a bit disturbing even for one who had no love for the former president. Then there is Kinky's tenacious ... Read More

Okay, so maybe I'm gushing, but I don't know where to start. I have to confess a bias, as I'm hopelessly addicted to Kinky Friedman, but this has to be one of his best. Cleverly disguised as a quick and easy mystery, this book will suck you in from page one. Roadkill has so much great wit in it, that I found myself reading passages out loud to my friends and husband. I haven't found so many lines in a Kinky book since his old stuff and I'm glad he's back in full form. Also, he has a way of dispensing a ... Read More
