Heads You Lose - Kepler's Staff Review

Paul and Lacey are siblings who live together in a small town in Northern California. When they find a headless body on their front lawn, they don’t call the police. You see, they make their living growing pot, so they move the body and pretend it never happened. The problem is that the body reappears a few days later and, while they think they know who it is, they are determined to find out whodunnit. The best part of the book is that the authors (who used to date) write alternate chapters with no preplanning and agreed to not edit each other’s work. At the end of every chapter you get their notes to each other, full of sniping, character assassination, and a glimpse into how a novel comes to fruition. It is laugh out loud funny. They destroy each other’s plot points, kill each other’s favorite characters, tear down alibis, argue over past events, threaten the cat, and start to totally identify with the characters. It is a mystery unlike any other and is witty, unexpected, and totally entertaining. –Angela M
