Helpful Score: 1
Sometimes I just want to laugh while I read about murder and mayhem, and when I do, I know that all I have to do is pick up one of Marshall Karp's Lomax and Biggs mysteries. The mystery is a genuine headscratcher, but most of the fun lies not in deducing the killer's identity, but in enjoying Karp's humor as he has a go at bestselling authors, the real estate business, interfering fathers, and life in Los Angeles. By targeting Terry Biggs' wife, Karp ratchets up the tension because, by extension, readers will wonder if that puts Mike Lomax's girlfriend in danger, too. These two homicide detectives certainly know how to make me laugh, so it's no secret that I don't want anything happening to their womenfolk.
If you're in the mood for a belly laugh or two (or three or...) while you're trying to identify a killer, you can't go wrong by picking up a Lomax and Biggs mystery. Marshall Karp is a master at creating fast-paced, suspenseful mysteries that will have you laughing so hard that the people around you will annoy the stuffing out of you by constantly interrupting: "What's so funny? Hey... read it to me. I want to know why you're laughing so much!"
