Lansdale seems to be attempting to give the boys some more traditional mystery trappings. The humor and relationships are still there, the.

I always enjoy Hap and Leonard. I thought I wa Ted a little less mayhem and more plot, but I was wrong. The detective agency , while it gives a rational explanation for their exploits, feels too “small” for Hap and Leonard. They are a force of nature. Some humor , as always, outlandish plot involving pet cemetery and battles involving backhoes
