Outrageous Vegas Vacation - An Agnes Barton Senior Sleuths Mystery #8

Madison Johns

Summary

Agnes and Eleanor are ecstatic when Eleanor wins a Las Vegas vacation for both couples at the end of their cruise. It’s like another honeymoon with their men Andrew and Mr. Wilson, except the senior sleuths once again find themselves in the middle of a murder investigation. This time the victim is Malcolm Banktop, the manager of the pop star Kayla White, who is found dead in an elevator. 
Kayla has a residency at Caesars Palace and is so lost without Malcolm that she hires Agnes and Eleanor to find his killer. Things become complicated when Kayla’s bodyguard Mark is considered a suspect. Sure, Mark might have spent time in prison, but is that reason enough to suspect him of murder? 
Eleanor and Agnes have their hands full once again amongst the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas, which becomes even more outrageous with the sleuths in town as they search for the truth.

On the Run with Mary

Jonathan Barrow

“One of the most extraordinary, original—and funniest—books I have ever read. Subversive, satirical, like a farcical, erotic, animal-human animated film” (Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy, author of Kinsey: Sex the Measure of All Things). Shining moments of tender beauty punctuate this story of a youth on the run after escaping from an elite English boarding school. At London’s Euston Station, the narrator meets a talking dachshund named Mary and together they’re off on escapades through posh Mayfair streets and jaunts in a Rolls-Royce. But the youth soon realizes the seemingly sweet dog is a handful; an alcoholic, nymphomaniac, drug-addicted mess who can’t stay out of pubs or off the dance floor. In a world of abusive headmasters and other predators, the sexually omnivorous youth discovers that true friends are never needed more than on the mean streets of 1960s London, as he tries to save his beloved Mary from herself. On the Run with Mary mirrors the horrors and the joys of the terrible twentieth century. Jonathan Barrow’s original drawings accompany the text. “A masterpiece by a young genius, fated to die shortly after he had completed it.” —A. N. Wilson, author of Prince Albert: The Man Who Saved the Monarchy “A unique masterpiece from a bizarre mind. To say it’s Lewis Carroll meets Jean Genet . . . would be to belittle its farcically-filthy originality.” —Nicholas Haslam, author of Redeeming Features “Dementedly cheerful . . . A rollicking catalogue of sex, violence, and acts of cartoonish cruelty, Barrow’s novel is a schoolboy’s happy nightmare writ large; readers may find it impossible to look away.” —Publishers Weekly

Josh Cooley

Let’s face it, reading sucks . . . but movies are fun! In this grown-up parody of a children’s picture book, Pixar writer and artist Josh Cooley presents the most hilariously inappropriate—that is, the best—scenes from contemporary classic films in an illustrated, for-early-readers style.  
 
Terrifying, sexy, and awesome scenes from such favorite films as Alien, Rosemary’s Baby, Fargo, Basic Instinct, Seven, The Silence of the Lambs, Apocalypse Now, The Shining, and many more are playfully illustrated and captioned to make reading fun and exciting for kids who never grew up. A sly celebration of the things fans love most about these legendary films (and movies in general), this is one book that probably should not be read at bedtime.

The Stinking

Darby Conley

Be afraid, be very afraid. Bucky B. Katt continues his reign of terror over his Get Fuzzy roommates, Satchel the pooch and Rob the human, in The Stinking. In addition to rants about his anticow crusade, Bucky also berates global warming as global stinking. Always on the defense against a monkey invasion, Bucky is armed with his own self-made arsenal of creative weaponry.It’s one strange and scary little household in the apartment that Rob, Bucky, and the lumpy canine Satchel share. Mild-mannered Rob can barely manage Bucky, who some might say is deranged, and Satchel, who usually ends up being the patsy. In this treasury, which includes all the cartoons from Masters of the Nonsenseverse and Survival of the Filthiest, Darby Conley once again morphs the human–pet relationship into one that humorously reminds us of our own weird human relationships.
