About this listen

In this holy mess of a case for the "perpetual bad boy" (New York Times) sleuths in the beloved Hap and Leonard series, PI Duo Hap and Leonard investigate the untimely death of a woman whose family stood much to gain from her passing.

Minnie Polson is dead. Burned to a crisp in a fire so big and bad it had to be deliberate. The only thing worse is that Hap and Leonard could have prevented it. Maybe. Minnie had a feeling she was being targeted, shaken down by some shadowy force. However, when she’d solicited Hap & Leonard, all it took was one off color joke to turn her sour and she’d called them off the investigation. Wracked with a guilty conscience, the two PIs—along with Hap’s fleet-footed wife, Brett—tuck in to the case. As they look closer, they dredge up troublesome facts: for one, Minnie’s daughter, Alice, has recently vanished. She’d been hard up after her pet grooming business went under and was in line to collect a whopping insurance sum should anything happen to her mother. The same was due to Minnie’s estranged husband, Al, whose kryptonite (beautiful, money-grubbing women) had left him with only a run-down mobile home. But did Minnie’s foolish, cash-strapped family really have it in them to commit a crime this grisly? Or is there a larger, far more sinister scheme at work?

Irreverent, wise-cracking, and full of atmosphere and bite, Sugar on the Bones is not to be missed.

I liked the plot it was as outlandish as the rest of the Hap and Leonard series

Great continuation of the series and brought the story to life

I love hearing the latest stage of life for Hap and Leonard. Several fun and entertaining addional characters. I loved all the action and like all the Joe R. Landsdale books I have listened to, I laughed a lot!

Great story! plenty of humor and action

Christopher Grant is not my favorite narrator of Joe Lansdale's books. Hap and Leonard sound too much alike in his voice. However, the story itself is wonderful. Hap & Leonard are the best friends ever, and they are realistic. Getting older, feeling the aches and pains of age and past battles. Joe tells a good story that moves at a good pace. All I can say is I discovered Joe not even a year ago and have since read almost all of his books and several of his short stories. Paradise Sky is the book that got me started on Joe, and then I discovered Hap and Leonard. Irresistible.

I love Hap and Leonard
