Hatchet Girls

"A darkly comic mystery. . . Lansdale has written another adventure sure to please fans while also making it compelling enough to stand on its own merits."—Booklist

"The mood here is elegiac, if ruminations on aging and domesticity coupled with bursts of violence count as such. Hap and Leonard may end up in a new place in their lives, but it seems they will continue to be divining rods for trouble."—New York Times Book Review

"Amid the rampant mayhem, however, there are moments of homespun Texas wisdom, allusions to Old West history and more than a few belly laughs. Hatchet Girls is a must-read for fans of Carl Hiaasen or Tim Dorsey."—BookPage, Starred Review

"Lansdale, the genre bard of East Texas, brings the deeply flawed and deeply human crime-fighting duo Hap and Leonard back for a 14th time. This case involves the Hatchet Girls, a cult that follows a bloodthirsty leader intent on giving polite society hell. There also appears to be a wild hog hopped up on meth. Lansdale is a mordantly funny chronicler of Lone Star misdeeds who knows how to keep a plot furiously turning."—Los Angeles Times

"Quick-witted, violent, and aggressively entertaining."—Crime Fiction Review

"Perhaps the funniest man vs. beast scene since Mark Wahlberg brawled with his teddy bear."—AP News
