This was the second book in the Matt Richter series and was a good continuation of that series. I didn't like this book quite as much as the first one but it was still entertaining.

The main story involves Matt losing his head (literally) and then being framed for a crime his body commits. Yes, it's a storyline that could only happen to a zombie. There are many twists and turns to the story as Matt desperately tries to get things put together (his body and head) and figure out who is framing him.

The story seemed a bit lengthy for what happens and the way the story unfolds was kind of predictable. That being said I continue to enjoy all the quirky characters and the craziness that is the Nekropolis.

Overall I enjoyed this and would recommend to urban fantasy fans that like the bizarre and quirky with a dash of horror. I plan on reading the third (and final) book in the series, “Dark War”. ( )

Solid sequel to the original, and the heaps of pop-culture references are very entertaining. I never would've expected to see shoutouts to H.P. Lovecraft, Young Frankenstein, Rocky Horror, and Dr. Goldfoot (!) in the same book, let alone on the same page... ( )

I liked the second Richter book far more than the first. World established, Waggoner seems to hit his story telling stride without large information dumps about the world around our intrepid detective. The story is tight, the world interesting without overwhelming the plot and the love story is dead on (no pun intended). ( )
