Class/Genre:   Mystery

I picked up this book because the name intrigued me. I’m glad I did. The book itself is beautiful, so I’ll be looking for more from uglytown. Sean Doolittle writes some very colorful characters and a has a wonderful ability to turn a phrase that
makes the book come alive. The story moves at a nice pace, and the bad guys are believable.

The main character, Quince Bishop, is burying a freind. And the funeral is ruined by protesters. But they are not who they seem as Quince soon finds out by befriending the head of the group they claim to represent, Maria Casteneda. With the help of his ex-girlfriend Quince finds out more about the funeral business than he would every want to know.

I enjoyed this book greatly and hope to see more of Quince and his friends. And I know that I’ll be buying Doolittle’s next book, who ever is in it.
