If you've never read any of this guy's books, go find The Dreyfus Affair. Then you can read Abbreviating Ernie. Although there is a murder trial in this story, it is not a mystery, it's a laugh riot. Ernie is a proctologist with some kinky sex preferences. In the midst of one with his long suffering, not real attentive wife, he dies of a heart attack, but doesn't - how do I say this delicately - slip out. Since he handcuffed her to the stove before starting (did I mention kinky?), her options were limited. But she can reach the electric knife. All of this is in the first part of the first chapter. It gets better and better and better. ( )

Out there, but I kind of liked it...does that make me a bad person. I was reminiscent of Gerald's Game by Stephen King. This book involves a cross-dressing urologist, a dog, kinky sex, and an electric carving knife. Are you interested? ( )
