Head's You Lose is one of the funniest books I've read in a
long time. One of the authors, Lisa Lutz, is the author of the Spellman books that I've talked about here before. She has a very dry wit which
appeals to me as you might imagine. David Hayward is the co-author. Each author writes
a different chapter so they're handing the book back and forth to write it and
writing letters to each other within. Those letters make up the funniest part of the
book. It's fun to read how the two authors quibble back and forth, kill off
each other's characters, and pretty much critique every word that the other
author writes. I'm not sure how much of this is a contrived schtick for the book and how
much of it is the real relationship between the two authors but it's fun to
read either way. The basic story is a murder mystery. The two main characters
are a brother and sister who run a small pot farm. How could you go wrong when your
two main characters own a pot farm?

Even the tiny bits that I've perused on the throne were hilarious. Where did you hide this book?
