What a hoot! I have got to read the whole series. Never knew Jim Lehrer was the Carl Hiassen of Oklahoma.

Jim Lehrer, RIP, makes me laugh out loud.

Another tongue-in-cheek spoof on politics in general and lieutenant governors in particular!! He certainly brings Oklahoma to life!! The John Wilkes Booth mummy is a true story and there is a Maryland Mansion (they have a spectacular tour on their website). I like the way he weaves fact and fiction together. This book was written in 1994 so I enjoyed the homosexual reference and am glad to see how far we have come by 2017!! Even though the plots are goofy he always has a moral at the end that leaves me with a lump in my throat. Unfortunately I'm reading these backwards but Book 1 is waiting for me at the library!!

One Eyed Mack is lieutenant governor. Has to solve killings of 3 Democratic Oklahoma state legislators.
Light, funny.
