Not a typical zombie story!

Based on the title and the cover, I originally thought the detective was going to be a zombie back in the 30s or 40s. That wasn't the case, but it was still a hilarious amateur detective story and I loved the absurdity of it all.

It's a short read (or listen, since I listened to the audiobook), but is packed with Sam in crazy situations with all sorts of zombies. His string of good luck is as unlikely as the conundrums he finds himself involved in, but somehow it works for him.

Phil Blechman was the perfect choice for Sam's character. Lauren Testerman did a great job channeling Lisa, the poor woman who has to manage Sam and all his antics.

I listened to the audio version of this book. The story was odd but entertaining. The narration enjoyable to listen to.

I Love Andy Zach's Books!

I wasn't quite sure where this book was going when it started but as it kept going I understood where it fit in the timeline. I read this one out of order with the timeline. It was a great book. I laughed several times. Now that I've finished this one, I'm going to have to read my Undead Mother-In-Law again.
