Product Description:
After rushing to the aid of a lovely young woman who hires him to find her missing husband, New York detective Kinky Friedman finds himself a target of the FBI and tries to find out why while dodging bullets in D.C. and escaping a burning limousine in Chicago. 100,000 first printing. Tour.
Amazon.com Review:
Texas musician Friedman writes mysteries the way he sings -- lots of humming, head-scratching and general fooling around. There are always plenty of cigars and an inevitable cat. But his loyal fans lap up his books and will certainly welcome this newest addition. The Kinkster's boozy reporter (is there any another kind in mystery fiction?) friend McGovern is being plagued by FBI agents disguised as aliens, so Friedman sets off on a journey of discovery to Washington and Al Capone's old Chicago haunts.

I read everthing that Mr. Friedman puts out and am always very amused. This book is no exception.

This is my first foray into Kinky Friedman's strange little world of cats, puppet heads, cigars and a host of strange characters. I found this book on tape to be an enjoyable bit of listening - full of odd turns of phrases and turns of events. A nice change of pace. A cleansing of the palate.
I doubt if I'll seek out Mr. Friedman's work in the future, but I'll be sure to consider it if I happen across it on Amazon.com or at my local bookseller.

You can tell that the title of Kinky Friedman's ninth novel, "The Love Song of J. Edgar Hoover," hints at an educated author who is also a humorist with a flair for the politically incorrect. The title is a take-off of T.S. Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," and the story was written by the man who fronted a band called the Texas Jewboys and penned country songs like "Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed" and "They Ain't Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore" (which is ...

...I stumbled across this book on a bargain rack, and it was also my first experience reading the "Kinkster". However, I must confess that I found this novel to be well worth the couple of bucks I paid for it, and well worth my time in reading it (although it surely won't take very long, Friedman's books are a very quick and painless read).
Friedman's writing style is infectious- you either like it right from the start, or it's not for you. Virtually every page has a wisecrack and witty ... Read More

Admitedly this is my first Friedman book and I bought it because it was in the bargain bin for $1.96 and I've heard of him. Maybe his books are an acquired taste, but I think I got about $1.93 of my money's worth. Yes, the author can ramble and rant and turn a phrase with the best writers, but the whole "mystery" turns into a red herring and leaving me with a big "huh?" on my face. A lot of comments on everything around the wry detective with what little plot there was used as an excuse to pontificate ... Read More
