The Elephant of Surprise

 

Shirley J.                      Adult Fiction: Murder Mystery                                 Friends/Private Detectives

The Elephant of Surprise: A Hap and Leonard Novel (Book 12 in the series)    257 pages

Another delightful Hap and Leonard adventure.     Hap is married to Brett now and Hap's daughter, Chance and another newly arrived family member has joined the crew, who is as fast talking and sassy as the rest.  She fits in perfectly.   An East Texas flood wreaks havoc and Hap and Leonard end up saving an albino girl from the Dixie Mafia not without several fights and bodily damage on both sides.   Marvin is out of town so Manny his second in charge is working with the guys proving she is no slouch in the a** kicking department.   Oh, did I mention the albino girl's tongue has been cut out?   Thank goodness they didn't cut her fingers off!   I really like these stories what a great duo.   I hope this isn't the last of the series.   I recommend this book to middle schoolers on up.
