Title: Could have used some editing but very good
Review: I will continue reading Karp's novels. He has created an excellent buddy team of detectives in Lomax and Biggs, but the novel is too long by about a third; and the overall plot, while enjoyable, is pretty ludicrous at the end of the day. That being said, Karp writes terrific dialogue and has a gift for witty banter. I am surprised by all the 5 star reviews, because even taken in the context of the genre this is no classic. Karp is working with a great set of characters that readers do care about. He probably has a 5 star book in him, and for a first novel "The Rabbit Factory" succeeds on most levels. I noticed that his follow up "Bloodthirsty" is shorter by about a third from "The Rabbit Factory" so that is a start at least.
