About this listen

A Lighthearted Picaresque Mixing Crime and Good Old-Fashioned Southern Charm

Laurie Lisa's latest audiobook is now available!

Hollister McClane, is a captivating, fun, and lighthearted picaresque mixing crime fiction with a bit of good old-fashioned Southern charm. Hollister’s wild adventures will keep you listening non-stop!

A small-town Southern Missouri beauty (if she does say so herself), Hollister has an uncanny knack for accidentally robbing banks, convenience stores, and possibly even a drug cartel. Toss in a couple of grand theft autos—purely by accident, of course—but she wouldn’t hurt a fly. Not even when Ruger falls into her lap. Savvy, self-taught, and eternally optimistic, Hollister hitchhikes, runs, and drives her way across America’s heartland, stumbling into one misadventure after another.

After unintentionally robbing her first bank dressed as Uncle Sam, she decides life on the run must be fate. And lucky for her, she’s a genius at disguises (if she does say so herself). Hollister always tries to put her ill-gotten gains to good use, but somehow, the money never seems to stick. Meanwhile, a few complications keep popping up: the law, the lovers, the three not-quite-ex-husbands, the babies, and, of course, world-weary Mama. And when she finally does use that gun—well, let’s just say it’s pointed a little too close to home.

Once you cue the start button on Hollister McClane, you’re going to have a tough time pausing. The pace of this book is impressive! I love Laurie Lisa’s work and she’s really outdone herself with Hollister’s character and story. It’s true that Hollister can be her own worst enemy, not to mention a little vain, but she’s got a good heart and an interesting sense of right and wrong. I love the factual intelligence persistently threading through Hollister leading her to engage in misguided analyses. It can be both bewildering and persuasive for the folks in her life, such as her poor, poor mama. (That woman deserves a medal!) The narrator, Jeanine Kane does a fabulous job bringing Hollister to life in the Audible version. There is something about the book, “Hollister McClane,” that puts me in mind of “A Confederacy of Dunces” by John Kennedy Toole. Perhaps, the fact that Hollister, much like Ignatius J. Riley, is a memorable protagonist, who meets with much absurdity? That said, it’s poor, poor you if you pass on this book. It’s an experience every reader should have!

Entertaining, well-written, great listen!
