(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

There's something fishy going on in the Unnatural Quarter. Bodies are floating face-down, the plumbing is backing up, and something smells rotten--even to a zombie detective like Dan Shamble. Diving into the slimy underbelly of a diabolical plot, Dan comes face-to-tentacles with an amphibious villain named Ah'Chulhu (to which the usual response is "Gesundheit!"). With his snap-happy gang of gator-guys--former pets flushed down the toilet--Ah'Chulhu wreaks havoc beneath the streets. While feuding weather wizards kick up storms and a gang of thieving lawn gnomes continues their reign of terror, Dan Shamble is running out of time--before the whole stinking city goes down the drain...

I will keep this short and sweet.

I didn't hate this book. It was okay.

But there were sooooo many cases going on that the constant chopping and changing was irritating to say the least.
Also, the puns and one-liners got to be a bit much by about page 20. Over 350 pages, it got to be well and truly overdone.

Still not a bad story. Just didn't really hit the mark for me.

I was unable to finish the book, but thank you for the opportunity.

Dan Shamble is on the case as he tries to save a city from two beings intent on battling for ultimate control. The suspense is consistent and I kept wanting to turn the pages. But the humor is at times hilarious, over-the-top trying too hard as well as groan-worthy. But the plot kept me engaged and the humor is what brings me back for more, as the blend of the two makes for a noteworthy novel.
