Bang for the buck

There really are no words to describe the Chance Purdue stories. Call them hilarious, a delicious spoof of the hard-boiled detective tales, call them a new drink: Phillip Marlowe with a (genetic) twist -- call them anything, but READ them. And guess what: They are even funnier when read aloud in your best imitation Bogart monotone. My only mistake was having taken a drink of coffee when I read this: I spewed coffee everywhere! All of Ross Spencer's books are worth the time and money, but none of his characters ever stole my heart like sexy, dunderheaded Chance Purdue!

1,000 laughs.

Got a craving for humor? Love a well spun yarn that skates the edge between the ridiculous and the sublime? How about Phillip Marlowe meets Spoon River Anthology, as interpreted by Hawkeye Pierce? Well, friend, rush out and grab a copy of The Compleat Chance Purdue.Ross Spencer has created the blondest blond bimbos, surliest villains, and most relentless victims ever to rub shoulders with a "private dick." Bumbling heroes, disoriented vamps, and a series of plots punchtuated with wry (or perhaps inspired by rye) humor from start to finish -- The Compleat Chance Purdue is a writer's joy and a reader's delight from cover to cover.
