Shirley J. Adult Fiction Murder Mystery Family secrets, inheiritance, murder
Mucho Mojo: A Hap and Leonard Novel (Book 2 in the series) by Joe R. Lansdale 320 pages
Leonard's Uncle Chester dies and his worldly goods and house go to Leonard as his only surviving family member. Leonard and his Uncle had been close throughout Leonard's childhood but after he grew up and his Uncle found out he was gay, they fell out. Leonard never stopped loving his Uncle, he just stopped coming around to see him, but, always remembered the time he spent with him and how much he had loved his Uncle's house. Going back to clean it out now that his Uncle had passed was harder than he had realized. Hap went with his friend to help him through it. When they arrive the house next door is a crack house and its inhabitants are trouble. The thugs posture and try to instill fear which doesn't work with Leonard who gets them in check from the git go. Going through his Uncle's things, Leonard comes across a hidden box he wished he had never found. A good story with horrendous murders to solve done so well and so suavely by Leonard and Hap. Another good story about this famous duo. I recommend this one to mature middle schoolers on up.
