Customer Reviews

Blues music and Voodoo make a great off-beat mystery!

I don't remember who first told me about Greg Kihn's first book "Horror Show," but it was a truly fortunate day since I have enjoyed reading each of his books since then. They are all a bit off-beat, with good plot lines told by a true storyteller. The characters are very human in their idiosyncrasies, having qualities that can be endearing and repulsive at the same time."Mojo Hand" has a really fun and interesting mix of mystery, music and voodoo. A bizarre combination that works well and keeps you fascinated until the very end. Entertaining, light, sometimes spooky-and highly recommended.

ANOTHER WINNER!!!!!!!!!!

THIS MAN IS WONDERFUL! HIS BOOKS ARE SO MUCH FUN YOU ALMOST FORGET THEY'RE SCARY! I LOVE YOU GREG! KEEP IT UP!

An inventive plot packed with unexpected twists and turns.

As legendary blues players gather to promote the genre, a complex plot weaves around a Louisiana witch woman with a powerful 'mojo hand', an albino who is set on murder, and a lost bluesman Robert Johnson who returns from the seeming dead for his grand finale. Murder and supernatural suspense blend in a plot packed with unexpected twists and turns - hard to put down; highly recommended.
