Publisher's summary

Hap Collins has just returned home from a gig working on an off-shore oil rig. With a new perspective on life, Hap wants to change the way he's living, and shoot the straight and narrow. That is, until the man who stole Leonard Pine's boyfriend turns up headless in a ditch and Leonard gets fingered for the murder.

Hap vows to clear Leonard's name, but things only get more complicated when Leonard's ex shows up dead, too. o the police, it is just a matter of gay-biker infighting, but to Hap and Leonard, murder is always serious business, and these hit a little too close to home.

Listen to another Hap and Leonard mystery/thriller.

Hap and Leonard at it again.

Very funny and very graphic violence. The good ole boys cleaning up their neighborhood. Narrator right on target.

An other great story

It was really cool seeing an unexpected character show up, and yet again an other great story. Can't wait to continue this series

Friends Hap and Leonard face a lot of violent degenerates

Well-done, narrator Phil Gigante! You gave the main characters life. Hard to imagine that their bodies survived all that violence. Even harder, but you also made me believe they could still function in decent society too. Hats off to you and Mr. Lansdale! Thanks for some fun.

As always, a most entertaining adventure

I love the Hap and Leonard series, and this book certainly delivered. Fun and funny but also serious and dark but also full of love for the grit of surviving the human experience.

I love Hap & Leonard

Elvis and Joe. Spencer and Hawk. Butch and Sundance.
And now Hap and Leonard. I am on my sixth Hap and Leonard novel in a row, and I never get tired of them. Great male friendships make the best stories, I think. There's humor, reluctance to share feelings--but they do--macho crap. danger, love, sex, adventure, honesty.
They are both middle-aged men with no special skills. Hap is straight and white. Leonard is black and gay. And they manage to get themselves into the worst messes because they are essentially nice guys--Hap nicer than Leonard in some ways, but more of an idiot in other ways. (Just shoot the b-----d, Hap, before he kills you.) I'm not really reviewing Bad Chili, but I enjoyed it.

Yet one more good book

I love this series. I feel so attached to them I want to see how it ends (get there as soon as I can) as it will be a mess, but will also somehow be OK. then get there and wish it wasn't over.

love it and hate it.

it followed Hap and Leonard standard but the reading needs two different voices for the leads.

Love the Book and narration!

I really love the Book and I give credit also to the narrator. The different characters he creates is amazing. I started with the first one and just couldn’t stop. I’m ready for the next one! Hap and Leonard’s relationship is so incredible I can’t wait to see what mystery they saw and what craziness they’re going to get into I’m sad that I’m just getting to the books now I wish I would have read them years ago.
