Question of the Week

What book about murder and mayhem made you laugh?

Three Graves Full by Jamie Mason had me hooked from the first sentence.  I was laughing out loud by the end of the first paragraph.

The hilarity begins when Jason Getty decides it's time to mow the lawn.  It's been a long time since he's done it because he's somewhat troubled by the body he buried in the back yard 18 months ago...  Meanwhile, the grass is growing higher and Jason figures neighborly suspicion must be mounting.  Since he hasn't got the stomach to do the job himself, he hires a landscaping company to do his dirty work.  If  the landscapers stick to their contract and stay in the front yard, Jason can bring back his home's curbside appeal and project an image of normalcy to his neighbors.  Imagine his surprise when the landscapers dig up a body - and it's not the one Jason planted.  Fans of Coen brothers films such as Fargo will find this a tasty morsel indeed. 

This is Jamie Mason's first book.  I can't wait for the next.
