Mucho Mojo: A Hap and Leonard Novel (2) by Joe R. Lansdale

4.0

If you are very politically correct just don't even plan on reading this series. Joe Lansdale manages to offend pretty much every sensibility you will have. He doesn't really care either.


Hap's working in the rose fields when his pal Leonard comes to get him. Hap doesn't mind because he hates the job anyways. So he cusses his boss and goes off with Leonard. Leonard's uncle has died and he wants Hap to go to the funeral with him.

They find out that his uncle has left Leonard his house and a chunk of money. Hap is now jobless so Leonard offers to keep him in toilet paper and hamburgers if he will help him clean up the house so he can sell it.


The crack house next door comes to our heroes attention. Attitude adjustments happen.
Then they find a young child's body in the uncle's house. They begin searching for answers to clear Leonard's uncle's name. The fun is just beginning for the dynamic duo. Several young kids from the neighborhood have gone missing.

I've learned quite a bit from these books.
Like when Leonard says "Stand back, motherfuckers"
It's probably a good idea to stand back.


And from Hap: Another bad thing about a holding cell is you don't exactly meet a great crowd of people. A lot of them are criminals.

Not that our boys would know anything about that.
