The friends of Kinky Friedman gathered recently over the release of his latest mystery, and the air was positively green with screaming over it.
"Like P.J. O'Rourke on testosterone," cheered Robert Stack, noted literary critic and host of "Unsolved Mysteries." "A true American original," mused Steve Allen, modern Renaissance man.
"A real beauty mark of sinful excess," says James Crumley, author of "The Last Good Kiss."

"Armadillos and Old Lace" is Kinky's seventh novel and is his first to be set away from New York. Instead, the action takes place at 'home' - in and around Echo Hill Ranch, Texas. This means, of course, that Kinky must solve this mystery without the help of people like Ratso, Rambam and John McGovern - though he has brought the cat along with him. While the cat doesn't voice her opinion on their new home - a green trailer - it's obvious that she isn't impressed.

I forgot when or where I heard of Kinky Friedman, but this was the first of his mysteries I had ever read. His politically incorrect wit, his love for animals, and his writing style in general got me addicted. After reading this book, I have read almost all of his works and I hope he writes many more.

I snarf down Kinky Friedman books like candy, Lord knows I do, but the last few leading up to Armadillos and Old Lace had started making me antsy for a new scenario or two.

Adding fresh air to the series is this volume, which takes place over a summer on Kinky's Texas ranch. This neck of the woods is so gushingly dear to his heart that you ... Read More

Look - you either dig Kinky Friedman or not. He is rude, crude, at times lewd, always a dude. His New York digs could get a little claustophobic to me, so I was glad to see him head out to his family's home and kids' summer camp - Echo Hill Ranch. As usual, whatever he turns his hand to somehow evolves into grand highjinks, but everything works out in the end. This time he get's drawn into the suspiscious deaths of 4 little old ladies. No pony for Kinky - he rides the range in Dusty, his late mom's ... Read More
