A cracking good mystery definitely not for the faint of heart but just right for readers who like a gritty crime novel with a labyrinth of plot twists. - Library Journal Tim Maleeny nails it with this new installment from Cape Weathers. It's an intriguing murder mystery crossed with a fast-paced political thriller. The whole thing is tied together with a witty protagonist and a finely tuned sense of humor. In Greasing the Pinata, just as in Mexico, anything can happen, and most of it does. - Bill Fitzhugh, award-winning author of Pest Control The Cape Weathers novels are smart, snappily written, energetic mysteries starring an engaging hero. - Booklist Maleeny smoothly mixes wry humor and a serious plot without sacrificing either in his third Cape Weathers mystery...an appealing hero, well-crafted villains, snappy dialogue and an energetic plot. - Publishers Weekly Maleeny is the kind of writer that makes you want to jump in the passenger seat and go for the ride-okay, maybe with eyes jammed shut and your hands gripping the arm rest-but then you want to go again. - Don Winslow, New York Times bestselling author
