The Barnes & Noble Review
Journalist, satirist, and New York Times bestselling mystery writer Kinky Friedman is sure to wow readers with this, his first stand-alone novel. A wacky, wild suspense tale, Kill Two Birds and Get Stoned tells the story of recovering alcoholic Walter Snow, a published author whose writer's block has gone on for years. What finally gets Walter out of his rut is a chance meeting with Clyde Potts, a lovely, free-spirited scam artist who lures him far from his boring routines. Joining this captivating new acquaintance and her thoroughly unconventional friends in an ever-escalating series of pranks and cons is just the trick to get Walter's long-stagnant creative juices flowing again. But when the jokes escalate into full-scale attacks against a corporate giant, the price for inspiration becomes alarmingly high...and truth becomes stranger than fiction. This is Kinky Friedman at his best, telling a story that's suspenseful, capricious, funny, and poignant -- all at the same time. Sue Stone
