Hap and Leonard, on behalf of Marvin Hanson, go to Grovetown, The Two-Bear Mambo racist hive of scum and villainy, to investigate. Will they find Florida and bring her back?

In this, the third Hap and Leonard book, the boys go looking for Florida, Hap's ex and the current girlfriend of Marvin Hanson, their detective friend. Florida went to the most racist town in Texas investigating a jailhouse suicide that may have been murder and wound up missing. The boys don't actually do a The Two-Bear Mambo lot of detective work in this one. They mostly crack wise and get their asses handed The Two-Bear Mambo them. I'd forgotten the beatings Hap and Leonard take in earlier books. Grovetown seems like a horrible place, backward and racist, but all too plausible. Lansdale peoples it with interesting characters, most of them with hidden depths. Since it's been at least a decade since I read this the first time, I'd forgotten most of the wrinkles of the plot and was pretty surprised by the ending. The Lansdale wit is in full effect in this one. Even after reading mostly Lansdale in recent days, I still find myself surprised at his skill with colorful similes, like Raymond Chandler drenched in Miller High Life. While it wasn't my favorite Lansdale book, The Two-Bear Mambo was still a very solid read, even The Two-Bear Mambo second time. Four out of five stars. View all 5 comments. Another great adventure with my buddies Hap Collins and Leonard Pine! Leonard has a The Two- Bear Mambo boyfriend but is still surly, having just burnt down the neighborhood crack house for the third Christmas Eve in a row. But to stay out of jail this time, Leonard and Hap agree to help their friend Marvin locate his girlfriend Florida Grange, who happens to be Leonard's old lawyer and Hap's former sweet thang. The stakes are pretty high though this go round because Florida, an attractive black woman, was last Another great adventure with my buddies Hap Collins and Leonard Pine! The stakes are pretty high though this go round because Florida, an attractive black woman, was last seen in Grovetown, which is not only being threatened by heavy rains and flooding, but which also happens to be the most scummy hotbucket of racism this side of Texas, which doesn't bode well for an ex-hippie and his black, gay best friend with a hot temper. He's all mopey and shit. Today is the anniversary of when we met, and he wanted us to go out to dinner, go to a movie, do some serious fucking. I wanted us to do that The Two-Bear Mambo, but I didn't want it getting in the way of me killing somebody. Again, there's a great cast of colorful characters that really stand out Charlie really flew off the page this time and in three books I've developed The Two-Bear Mambo real fondness for Hap and Leonard, I don't want them hurt, and I'm invested in their adventures. Lansdale created something special with this series and these characters so far. Just some humans are better humans than others, but the best humans are still just human. View all 6 comments.

Since this is the third time The Two-Bear Mambo has torched it, the cops are a little miffed even though he always pulls The Two-Bear Mambo drug dealers out of the fire. Police lieutenant Hanson offers to help get Leonard off the hook for his pyromania if the guys will look for his girlfriend, Florida, who has gone missing while poking around the story of the relative of a legendary bluesman who allegedly committed suicide while in jail. Hap and Leonard are tough, but can they take on an entire town? Lansdale has a knack for making violence and its aftermath seem genuine and horrifying while not getting bogged down in faux angst about it. Dec 20, Mike rated it really liked it.

Soon enough the simple get-rich-quick scheme snowballs into bloody mayhem. My spoilers are super minor, nothing that will jeopardize your viewing pleasure. This show keeps getting better and better. I have just finished watching the 4th episode and there is something so quirky about it. It is supposed to take place in the 80's thereabouts and centers around crime - trying to locate stolen money and dealing with the results. It is set in Texas with the 2 main characters wearing cowboy boots and hats, giving it a westernish vibe. But then you throw in Hap and Leonard spandex wearing, spike-haired, blue eye-shadowed, 80's murderous Hap and Leonard and the show becomes a little more off kiltered, but in an entirely good way.

  • Joe R Lansdale
    Praise for Hap and Leonard: Blood and Lemonade “Blood and Lemonade is the best of Lansdale and the best of Hap and Leonard. As urgent as it is timeless. As fun as it is thoughtful. It haunts you while it kicks your ass. Joe never lets you down, just shows you over and over why he’s the best.” —Jim Mickle, director of Cold in July “A brilliant ‘mosaic’ novel. An amazingly vivid style that feels like Hemingway. Themes that are especially important for our time. With these early adventures of his compelling Hap and Leonard characters, Joe R. Lansdale hits a new high.” —David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of Murder as a Fine Art “Magnificent storytelling.” —Char’s Horror Corner “Joe Lansdale is our East Texas Hemingway, and here’s another example of what makes him great. In Hap & Leonard: Blood and Lemonade, he carves out beauty with plain words and direct sentences. Some of the stories in this mosaic novel are horrifying, others gritty, sad, thrilling, and funny, but all of them are beautiful. I ate it up.” —Daryl Gregory, author of Spoonbenders and We Are All Completely Fine HapAndLeonardBloodAndLemonade.indb 1 1/20/2017 1:10:50 PM Praise for Hap and Leonard “Seven laid-back adventures, one of them brand new, for “freelance troubleshooter” and good old boy Hap Collins and his gay black Republican partner Leonard Pine. No one currently working the field demonstrates more convincingly and joyously the deep affinity between pulp fiction and the American tall tale.” —Kirkus «“Last seen in the novel Honky Tonk Samurai, Lansdale’s incomparable East Texas crime fighting duo show their chops in this remarkable story collection.
