Review:

Axel Speeter, Pete Hautman's hilarious creation, returns for another delirious round of mayhem when his girlfriend's daughter Carmen becomes engaged to a con man named Hyatt Hilton. Before long, Axel has convinced his pal Joe Crow to investigate Hilton, which, in turn, embroils everyone in a misfired plot to scam some bogus preachers. Soon gamblers, bodybuilders, religious charlatans, and elderly fishermen are popping out of the midwestern landscape with loony abandon. All the craziness makes the mystery a little hard to follow, but it's all so endearing that you probably won't mind.
