Love detective books with some humor in them? Then sneak a peek at the historical mystery novel BAYOU CITY BURNING by D. B. Borton on my blog! https://alltheupsandowns.blogspot.com/2020/03/book-blitz-bayou-city-burning-harry.html

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
Houston, 1961: comedy meets mystery and history. It's hard to be hard-boiled when your biggest fan and worst critic is your twelve-year-old daughter, especially when she's cracking your case for you and defending you from the bad guys, along with sidekicks human and feline.

Houston is still a cowboy backwater, but Texas politicians dream big. P.I. Harry Lark is out to save the city for President Kennedy's moon mission. Dizzy Lark is out to save Harry.

This movie is bonkers. History, costume and set design are just thrown to the wolves when it comes to any form if accuracy.

But the film was well paced, action packed and great fun. Like any Robin Hood folk tale should be. Granted, it would have been much better and probably better received if they had taken more care to stick to the time and place which it was set, but as it was, it was a work of pure fantasy.

As long you suspend your disbelief at the door and let this wash over you then you are in for great time. Simply enjoy.
