'Marshall Karp could well be the Carl Hiaasenof Los Angeles - only I think he's even funnier.The Rabbit Factory will touch your funny bone,and your heart' James Patterson
Product Description
Welcome to Lamaar Studios. Once a small animation house, it has grown into an entertainment conglomerate encompassing movies, television, music, video games, and a sprawling theme park called Familyland.When an actor portraying Familyland's beloved mascot, Rambunctious Rabbit, is brutally murdered on park grounds, Lamaar executives fear that their idyllic public image will be shattered. Feeling pressure from the studio, LAPD Detectives Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs must conduct their investigation while avoiding the public eye.But as more murders are committed, Lomax and Biggs uncover a sinister plot. Someone has a vendetta against Lamaar, a vendetta worth killing for. With the media closing in and political pressure mounting, the partners must race to discover the Lamaar-hating madman before he brings the family entertainment giant to its knees.Bringing a fresh duo of cops to the thriller set, "The Rabbit Factory" is both suspenseful and satiric, a taut mystery wrapped in sharp, comedic prose.

I was reading all the other review to decide if I should write my own or if they had covered everything already. So as you will guess I think there is need for some more comment although if you want a plot summary read the other reviews.
I cannot understand the two bad reviews, it is a funny and witty book, sure it is not laugh out loud funny like some but it is a well crafted mix of humour and poignant moments. Striking that sort of balance between comedy and tragedy is difficult. I would say it feels like a first time author book, but one who has had a wide range of experiences and who puts them over well. The characters are in no way two dimensional although you might see some things coming. I was so captivated by the story I did not see who the killer was! So that makes it much better than your average Agatha Christie.
The main thing is it still makes me smile thinking about it some months after reading it so it must be good.

I'm not a great fan of character study type novels, but Marshall Karp has somehow managed to write a well paced, well plotted, buddy buddy novel that features some extremely witty dialogue, spoken by some vividly drawn characters. Parts of this book brought a tear to my eyes - something that would normally see me closing the cover and handing it to my girlfriend, but this novel is so well crafted that even I - and I'm usually the type of person who wants to get on with the plot, and not find out what the character had for breakfast - couldn't wait to turn each of the six hundred and thirty odd pages.

This is a detective novel, but no like the tried and tested method that we have become accustomed to.
This introduces a couple of detective partners that will make you laugh out loud, and keep reading all the way through. The characters in this book could easily have been modeled on someone that the author knows or read about as they are credible and believable.
This takes a spin on all the other crime thrillers/police detective novels that are out there, making this a unique and genuine book that is certainly worth a read.
Read the synopsis, buy the book and be prepared to be immersed until you finish.

Disappointing
I bought this book influenced by the many recommendations. I can read almost anything but I couldn't read beyond the first 50 pages. Read more

Not quite doing what it's supposed to...
This an awkward book; it seeks to be a number of things and never quite manages any of them. As a thriller, it has an interesting premise and some good basic twists and turns, but... Read more

sorry to disagree...........
This is the first review where I have to admit to the whole world that I made a purchasing error. Guided by the five star reviews I looked forward to 600 pages of comedy/detection. Read more
