After drinking rather too much one evening, Carl wakes up with a splitting hangover and the name Chantal Adair tattooed on his chest. Who is or was Chantal, and what does she have to do with the elderly lady who just called in a very large favor from Carl's father?
Such a fun read! Highly recommend for fans of the movie Beetlejuice or for fans of City of Ghosts by V.E. Schwab.
I picked this up as a Amazon Prime free book because I'd read other Lashner books enjoyed them. Not knowing anything about this, I was surprised. The main character is this cantankerous, rude, lonely old guy, but without the quirkiness of Man Called Ove. In spite of his nastiness (it must have been a fun character to write), I totally enjoyed him. The other characters weren't developed very fully, but I didn't really notice it until I finished the book.
Not a mystery, not a literary masterpiece, no humor.....a story about an old man trying to do the right thing at the end of his life. A quick read.… (more)

I liked this unusual middle-grade law thriller a lot. I think it's an interesting introduction to concepts of the justice system and also does some very interesting things with family ties and secrets as well.
