Why read it?

1 author picked Killer Vibes as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

One of my favorite reads this year, and Peter Key is my new favorite reluctant hero. Funny, irreverent and fun -- with a complex mystery to solve and enough danger and risk for our hero to keep the pages rapidly turning. Can't wait for all of my mystery loving friends to read it. Book Two will be an auto buy for me! (Not for you if you object to weed smoking and a MC with a "flexible libido".)
