About this listen
Is Mothman real, or just another fly-by-night tourist scam? The truth is out there … way WAY out there in this deliciously snarky humorous mystery.
Growing up in backwoods Florida, Bobbie Drex has seen it all – from two-headed turtles to two-timing boyfriends. Her life of hard knocks has left her short on cash, but she’s still packing enough snark to give any whack-job a run for his money. Or so she thinks.
But when a mysterious stranger arrives at her mechanic shop seeking repairs to his rundown RV, suddenly it’s Bobbie who’s in for a complete overhaul... Norman Bates in a turban. Gonadal twins. Mothman pooper-scoopers.
In an instant, the world she once knew skitters totally off its Southern axis! Is the handsome, Mothman-chasing private eye crazy? Or is he the only sane one in the bunch? The more Bobbie discovers about him, the less certain she becomes about reality itself. And in a backwater town like Point Paradise, that's really saying something.
Ready for some pure, escapist fun? Grab a can of mosquito repellent and a lawn chair. Then sit back and relax. Things are about to go sidesplittingly off the rails in the Sunshine State!

I really didn't know
If I was throwing away my money on this book, and the accents took a few minutes to get used to, but once I got past that and just started enjoying the story - I was hooked! The plot is twisty, turny, improbable and FUN! Yes, I got annoyed with the main character a time of two (or three) but I figure she'll learn to trust her own instincts in future books. Future books which I intend to buy and enjoy.

good, but the main character annoyed me with her squeamishness and lack of common sense. an FBI agent would not be calling a civilian for help, or sobbing at murder scene of someone he didnt know.
