More plot twists wrapped in fun dialogue and narration. ( )

This reviews the audiobook.
Thank you. I needed the laughs. And I actually did laugh out loud listening to this, which I haven't done in a long time. The voice characterization was pretty good.
I'm not sure why people need a euphemism (razzmatazz) when they seem perfectly happy to use the "F" word all the time. And they all use the same euphemism.
In post-WWII San Francisco, Sammy's main squeeze, the Cheese, is putting her welding talents to work on a secret project. Moo Shoes' Uncle Ho is in big trouble with the Tong and has a huge backstory. And dykes are being murdered and a Drag King club owner wants Sammy to solve it before she's done in. A new vice officer is harassing cross-dressers and prostitutes. But the real star is the the language, the shear Damon Runyonesqueness of it all.
Throw in talking dragon statuary and an alien and one wonders if this over-the-top stuff is strictly necessary. If only Moore could get angry like Terry Pratchett and school us. He comes so close to it in this novel.
Perhaps I should go back and listen to Noir or Sacre-Bleu again.

A continuation of Noir. Christopher Moore is an inventive and creative author. Love his works. ( )

****I was the grateful winner of an advance reader’s edition copy of Razzmatazz on a Goodreads giveaway ( )

Started listening to this and husband asked me to wait until we were on a trip so he could listen, too. "Sure," I replied. I just won't tell him how far I got when I stoped for love. (I love this guy's voice, btw) ( )
