Chuck Tingle can write sci-fi/horror!!! This book was absolutely amazing! One day there are strange occurrences which lead to deaths, known as the Low Probability Event. Vera, who is a statistics professor, is in an argument with her mother witnesses these events firsthand and it puts her in a depression for about 4 years. Until, a government agent, Layne, happens to need her expertise to help with an investigation into that day. I loved the grumpy (Vera) / sunshine (Layne) dynamic of the two main characters. Mostly, I loved the ideas that Tingle explores about luck, other beings, and even the meaning of life! I am a huge math gal, so I may have nerded out a bit when they go to the casino that seems to be the center of the events, and they talk about probability. I was blown away with Chuck Tingle's knowledge and research of so many ideas in this book!

It’s exactly what you’d expect from Chuck Tingle—and yet somehow more. It’s bizarre, hilarious, and totally off the wall, but underneath the absurdity is a surprisingly heartfelt core. The blend of humor, horror, and commentary is well balanced, and Tingle's signature voice shines through every surreal twist.
While some moments felt intentionally disjointed or overly meta (which won’t be everyone’s cup of tea), the originality and unexpected emotional depth really stood out.
The audiobook narrator was a bit slow but I just upped the speed.
