This is the third in the Andrew Mayhem series and I have enjoyed all of them. I would give this 3 1/2 stars instead of the usual four for what may be a matter of personal taste. The other two had a tone of darkly comedic spoof that was present in this one til about halfway through when several very disturbing scenes disrupted this tone. Clearly, these are comedies of the darkest sort, but I felt that these particular scenes were out of place considering the overall tone of the novels and left a bad taste in my mouth.
Again, probably personal taste and I really don't want to say any more. If you like Andrew Mayhem I would definitely read it and if you haven't read any of the books, you are missing out on a very good series.

Andrew Mayhem is back, and in this book he is responsible. And still getting in trouble. This is yet another phenomenal book by Jeff Strand. The action starts on page one, and doesn't let up for the entire 159 pages. I'm amazed in every book I read by Strand at the range of emotions he can draw out of me. At points I'm laughing out loud, and then I'm on the verge of tears. I hope that we see this cast of characters again in another Andrew Mayhem thriller.
