Welcome to Familyland, an offshoot of Lamaar Studios. Once a small, Southern California animation house, it has grown into an entertainment conglomerate encompassing movies, television, music, video games, and a sprawling theme park.

When an actor portraying Familyland's beloved mascot, Rambunctious Rabbit,

is brutally murdered on park grounds, Lamaar executives are worried that the idyllic image of '50s America represented in Familyland will be shattered. They ask Mike Lomax and his partner Terry Biggs, the LAPD detectives assigned to solve the case, to keep the circumstances surrounding the death of their mascot quiet.

When a second Lamaar employee is killed, Lomax and Biggs uncover a conspiracy to destroy Familyland and settle an unknown vendetta. Still under pressure to keep the case away from the public eye, the detectives are met with a third murderâ??and an outrageous demand: Anyone who associates with Lamaarâ??employees, customers, anyoneâ??will be killed.

Bringing a fresh duo of cops to the thriller set, The Rabbit Factory is both suspenseful and satiric; a taut mystery wrapped in sharp, comedic pr… (altro)

It seems like any novel with the first bit of humor these days is touted as the next Carl Hiaasen. And so this one was mis-labeled. Carl Hiassen's plot and characters are funny crazy. Marshall Karp's narrator has a wonderful sense of humor and hilarious way of expressing himself. This book does not need to inaccurate comparison. It's great on its own. The FamilyLand theme park, movie business, mega corporation is being terrorized. LAPD detectives Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs are on the case. (I do hope this is the first of their cases. I'd love to read more.) ( )

Family Land and Laamar Studios are a fictional rival to Disney Land and the Disney Studios. The background of Laamar and Disney are basically the same.

Someone is out to destroy the Laamar empire. An exciting, funny mystery. A little too much swearing and a unnecessary sex scene with Mike and his girl friend. But over all very enjoyable. ( )

When the actor playing Rambunctious Rabbit-the mascot of of Lamar Studio's family theme park is murdered, Lomax and Biggs are assigned the case. There is great pressure to solve this case and keep the murder quiet so that the theme park loses no business. When two more murders take place, it becomes obvious that someone is trying to destroy the business. ( )

The theme of the book, while focused on murder, has overtones of terrorist activity. The characters display typical 'cop humor'. The story is well crafted, bringing the reader along with the detectives as they track down a variety of clues. The ending is interesting and upbeat. ( )

In een populair pretpark wordt een werknemer vermoord; de politie van Los Angeles denkt eerst aan een wraakactie van een slachtoffer van seksueel misbruik. Maar als er meer werknemers en zelfs gasten vermoord worden, duiken de rechercheurs in de geschiedenis van het park. De leiding doet alles om geen ruchtbaarheid te geven aan de moorden. De politie ontdekt dat de oprichter niet zo aardig was als hij deed voorkomen en richt haar aandacht op oud-werknemers. Intussen hebben de rebelse leden van het politieteam hun eigen problemen en eigenaardigheden die met veel gevoel voor humor besproken en becommentarieerd worden. Een bijzonder aantrekkelijk debuut met veel humor en veel spanning. De personages zijn levensecht en het plot is uitstekend en erg verrassend.
