Ruddy McCann, former college football star, has experienced a seismic drop in popularity; he is now Kalkaska, Michigan’s full-time repo man and part-time bar bouncer. His best friend is his low-energy Basset hound Jake, with whom he shares a simple life of stealing cars. Simple, that is, until Ruddy starts hearing a voice in his head. The voice introduces himself as Alan Lottner, a dead realtor. Ruddy isn’t sure if Alan is real, or if he’s losing his mind. To complicate matters, it turns out Katie, the girl he’s fallen for, is Alan’s daughter.
When Alan demands Ruddy find his murderers, Ruddy decides a voice in your head seeking vengeance is best ignored. When Alan also demands he clean up his act, and apartment, Ruddy tells him to back off, but where can a voice in your head go? With a sweet romance, a murder mystery, a lazy but loyal dog, and a town full of cabin-fevered characters you can’t help but love, New York Times best-selling novelist W. Bruce Cameron’s The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man, yet another laugh-out-loud, keep-you-up-late, irresistible listen.

Enjoyable contemporary fantasy mystery

This book really tried my patience. It has a very clever premise and some great characters, but it's a shaky plot led by a protagonist who is at times competent and capable and other times frustratingly dimwitted. It seems the author's only device for charting out the "arc" of this story was to employ stupidity. Some might find it comic when characters and plot are sidetracked by murphy's law, and I can tolerate it in moderation. But I had to put this one down a few times and almost gave up on finishing it. In the end, I returned and found it wasn't so frustrating that I couldn't finish and get some closure. But wow, I don't think I'd sign up for the sequel.
Frustrating but okay

Well, there's that, and there's a cast of characters swirling around Ruddy that could have come right out of a Carl Hiaasen novel, if this were set in Florida instead of Michigan. There are several other things going on that may or may not be related to Alan's murder, and one of the things Bruce Cameron does well is make his red herrings worthy side plots in and of themselves. All in all, good fun, well plotted, well peopled, well written.
Cameron is best known for his Dog's Purpose and Teenage Daughter series. Here he branches out in a different direction, doing for his home area in Michigan's Northwoods what Hiaasen, Tim Dorsey, Dave Barry and the like have done for South Florida -- humorous crime novels set in a particular locale filled with quirky characters, starting with the cynical wise-cracking protagonist and his idiosyncratic sidekick, in this case a voice in his head.
No coincidence that George Wilson, who has lent his gravelly voice to many a Hiaasen and Dorsey audiobook, gets the call to narrate Repo Man, reminding you of the genre. If you're familiar with it, you'll like this Michigan transplant. I'd wager you might like it no matter what. The only thing missing is an overarching theme that transcends the plot and the fun, but that is not a show stopper.
