Mr. Rain may just make a mystery reader out of me. I really enjoyed this, the second of the Jim Knighthorse series. I love the cocky, flawed character of Jim Knighthorse. The humor in these books is enough to lighten the mood of what could be a more gruesome genre. I decided some time ago (mostly as related to TV shows) that I like my murder and mayhem with large doses of humor. In this book, Jim has four threads going: his girlfriend Cindy is being stalked and harassed; his friend Sanchez, the cop, is trying to help his son get back at a gang of bullies who put him in the hospital; he's making headway into solving his mother's murder; and he is hired to find out who killed an historian looking into a local mummy attraction. The four threads are interwoven nicely and without causing confusion to the reader. The only thing I view as a negative is the fact that there were no conversations with God at the McDonald's. I missed that character and the moral debates. Hopefully there will be another Jim Knighthorse book very soon!
