Reviews"Nothing is sacred in a Kinky Friedman book....Therein lies his charm." -- The Washington Post Book World, "Rollicking...any reader who fails to have fun probably has 'a brain about the size of a small Welsh mining town.'" -- The New York Times Book Review, "Rollicking...any reader who fails to have fun probably has 'a brain about the size of a small Welsh mining town.'"--The New York Times Book Review, "Nothing is sacred in a Kinky Friedman book....Therein lies his charm."--The Washington Post Book World
SynopsisKinky Friedman has always proven himself to be a master of the offbeat and irreverent, and still manages to pull off a helluva whodunit in the process. Now the Kinkster may have met his match in this superbly crafted, fiendishly clever tale of a murderer who's methodically killing off unsuspecting Manhattan men. Gallingly, all clues point toward Kinky. Greenwich Village is the setting for Ten Little New Yorkers, a tale of murder and mayhem as only Friedman can warble it and featuring his usual suspects, including Ratso -- Dr. Watson to Kinky's singular Sherlock Holmes. As the clues and bodies pile up and the cops strong-arm Kinky as their man, he has to jump through hoops to find the real killer, all the while maintaining his outrage and, of course, his innocence. The murderer may be someone close to Kinky, which leads to a shocker of an ending that will surely take Kinky devotees completely by surprise. With a wink and a nod to Dame Agatha (as in Christie), after which all resemblance to those classic mysteries fades, this is one of Friedman's most complex and irresistible page-turners yet. Cunningly tentous issues of life, death, guilt, innocence, love, loss, and the danger of false confessions, this is Kinky Friedman at his wily, suspenseful, and sacrilegious best.
