"It's 2001, and the WyldBoyZ are the world's hottest boy band, and definitely the world's only genetically engineered human-animal hybrid vocal group. When their producer, Dr. M, is found murdered in his hotel room, the 'boyz' become the prime suspects. Was it Bobby the ocelot (the cute one), Matt the megabat (the funny one), Tim the pangolin (the shy one), Devin the bonobo (the romantic one), or Tusk the elephant (the smart one)? Las Vegas Detective Luce Delgado has only twenty-four hours to solve a case that goes all the way back to the secret science barge where the WyldBoyZ' journey first began--a place they used to call home."--Provided by publisher.… (mehr)

Another one of the Edgar award nominees ( for paperback) and definitely well worth a read. This book is exactly why I read from lists at times. Forces me out of my comfort zone, occasionally resulting in a pleasant surprise. It is very unlikely that I’d have picked up a book about a boy band formed by human animal hybrids that are at the center of a murder mystery, but I’m glad I did. The animal traits that show up in each character are both likely and , at the same time, amusingly exaggerated. The detectives are likable and basically believable. An unusual and fun little mystery tale ( )

This was a fun locked door mystery story that featured a boy band comprised of animal/human hybrids. I really liked the two police officers investigating the case and enjoyed trying to figure out who did it along with them. The story involved a little suspension of disbelief as to how the hybrids came to be (but the story's inspiration - The Island of Dr. Moreau had a similar issue) but I did not mind. I appreciated the boy band humor and the references to some pop culture and mystery novels. The ending was satisfying and the format of the book was clever. I look forward to reading more by this author. ( )

This book is short, hilarious, clever, strange, and buck fucking wild. I think the description should speak for itself and there isn't much more for me to say; it's mystery, it's science fiction, it's a little bit of a cop show, it's a little bit of a teen drama. It hops around the highlights of five or six genres and it comes for your kidneys. I suppose you should read this if you want to have a good time and feel like you've lost your shit, and skip it if you don't. ( )

In the early 2000s, a boy band made of animal-human hybrids, the WyldBoyz, is ending their tour when their awful promoter is killed. A mystery with lots of animal puns ensues. It’s a fun novella with Gregory’s usual inventiveness despite some grim backstory. ( )
