DEAD JACK AND THE CASE OF THE AMOROUS OGRE by James Aquilone


Dead Jack and the Case of the Amorous Ogre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After finishing a disappointing book yesterday, I was in the mood for something short and snappy. So I decided to read this on my Paperwhite. I'm really glad I did because this was so much fun! The perfect story to get stuck into.

Jack is a zombie. He's also a PI. And he's just been hired by a pixie who wants to save her daughter because she was kidnapped by an ogre. Jack has a plan--a simple plan--for rescuing the girl, but things don't go so well...

What a fun story!

I love zombie stories. I love PI stories. And I certainly love a dark and clever, sometimes gross, world full of familiar creatures in a new setting. So I enjoyed the hell out of this shortie and am now looking forward to reading Dead Jack's full-length book.

Also loved how the old beautiful femme fatale walks into a PI's office noir trope is handled.

Very cool.
