Ruddy McCann from The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man is back - and eighteen months have passed. Things seem to be going well. His has a job as a repo man (some would call it stealing cars), a fiancee and a lovable basset hound. But he hasn't been taking the medication that his court ordered psychiatrist has ordered and if he doesn't start taking it soon, he'll end up violating his probation and going back to jail. The reason? He's afraid taking the pills will rid him forever of the voice of Alan Lottner (who just happens to be Katie's dead father - can anyone say "Awkward"?) and as annoying as that voice was, Ruddy finds that he misses it/him.Suddenly not only must Ruddy figure out how to deal with the psychiatrist but his boss dies suddenly and Katie wants to take a break. And then while visiting a medium to try to discover where Alan has gone to, he is approached by a young woman who tells him that the event that defined his life may, in fact, be a lie. And suddenly Ruddy is on the trail of a serial murder - before his loved ones are threatened. Oh and then there's the banker threatening the life and happiness of his best friend and there's that sudden death of his boss and father figure. But thankfully, Alan is back to help him solve the case, or cases.
With laugh out loud humor and lovable characters, this was a fun way to spend a bitter cold day. The ending was satisfying but there are plenty of loose ends to be dealt with in the next book. I can't wait.
