Never Before Published: Zombie Detective Foreword
Zombie Detective Review
Zombie Detective
Dear Friends, honestly you need to read this book…I mean, who dedicates a book to Dashiell Hammett, creator of Sam Spade? None other than my friend Andy Zach!
This alone should make you run to Amazon and get Zombie Detective! Yes, Andy’s adorable character investigator Sam is now a detective! And the laughs start right out of the gate!
Not only is Thanksgiving upon us, and that means turkey in every form imaginable, you need to reading about Zombie Turkeys along with eating them (well, hopefully just real turkeys!).
This book takes Andy’s clever writing to new levels! It is fast paced and fun! I cannot say enough good things about it except you need to read it!
Even the cover is masterfully done to take you right back to Sam Spade! (#samspade) So if detective stories with a lot of adventure and down right laughs are your cup of tea, do it. I promise you will not regret it!
My Undead Mother-in-law, the second book I wrote, now the third in my series (Zombie Detective occurs before it) has been published for four years. What do readers and audiobook listeners say about it?
Andy Zach continues his unrelenting attack on the horror/zombie genre with outlandish humor. What will society do with the new human zombies after the havoc caused by The Turkey Zombies?!? That was a rhetorical question…so just laugh! 😉
Note: While this is Book 2 in the series, it works pretty well as a stand alone story.
Set several months after the zombie turkey outbreak of Book 1, the contagion continues to pop up in other species. Now that several zombie humans have been created, the government can no longer hide it. In fact, most zombie humans continue to work, play, cook, attend church, and have family get-togethers.
Diane is such a fun mother-in-law! She’s a bit overbearing but ferociously protective of her family. I love her dedication to zombie acceptance and beating down zombie stereotypes. Also, she’s a great brawler. I would not want to be on any team opposing Diane!
The zombie critters were great too! I love that the contaminated corn (the suspected source of the zombie outbreaks) is still the main suspected source of these new zombie species – like snakes and chipmunks. That scene with the rat and the snake hijacking the plane – haha! This story had me chuckling often.
I did miss Sam and Lisa from Book 1 but they do have minor roles in this book. In fact, seeing what this book does to them, I really hope we see more of them in Book 3. While there isn’t nearly as many zombie turkeys, we do get a few zombie turkey gobbles in this tale (which makes me laugh like a maniacal little kid).
Review Continues
Overall, this was a fun story though I did enjoy Book 1 a smidge more. This story had a few slow moments, but Diane would usually rescue us and bring life back to the tale. The end of the story leaves us having a lengthy ceremony and dinner with a political figure and I found that to be a little off-putting. While Book 1 had a different political figure, he was caught up in the action and we didn’t get long speeches from him. In this book, we get a few long speeches from this political figure and I found it a little boring. Plus I read to escape today’s politics and having those politics invade my books is a little grating. Despite that, I look forward to Book 3. 4.5/5 stars.
The Narration: Phil Blechman and Raven Perez continue to do a great job with this series. I love Blechman’s zombie turkey calls – makes me laugh every time no matter how gruesome the scene. Perez was spectacular as Diane – loud, proud, boisterous, hilarious. The technical recording quality is also top notch. Blechman and Perez sound like they are in the same room for the recording. It’s seamless when they trade off or even back and forth in the same conversation. Excellent all around! 5/5 stars.
Not your usual zombie story. This one is fun and funny. I laughed several times throughout the story. I’m looking forward to the next installment of the series.
Do you want to review this or any of my audiobooks?
Enjoy all four novels in audiobook, paperback, or Kindle format!
Andy Zach has done it again for me, I love the Audiobooks. The Performances by Raven Perez, and Phil Blechman, are outrageously Great. Not too many turkey gobbling sounds in this story, but I can live with that. Read the first book and you’ll understand. All in all, I’d double the number of stars for the first book, and this one if I could.
Very entertaining. Didn’t know what to expect other than I thought it would be amusing. It was! I played some for my husband and laughed tears at one point just as I had.
it a super story about a super mother in law. father in law, brother and sister in law and a bunch of “Sidekicks” real impressive side kicks. Good triumph over evil through pain and persistence and a real bad villan is finally defeated; or is he? The Narration is outrageously hilarious and so “Camp” that I smile when I think about this listen. I am becoming a lover of Zombisim, in fact long live Zombies, no perhaps live isn’t quite the right word. Any way If a great listen is what you need these days first listen to Andy’s first book Zombie Turkeys “gooble gooble” and than for a continuous great listen meet the mother in law.
