Description

John Dufresne has been hailed by the New York Times as “an original talent . . . [whose] humor is frightfully dark, but . . . dazzling.” I Don’t Like Where This Is Going continues the misadventures of therapist-on-the-run Wylie “Coyote” Melville. Wylie has witnessed a woman falling to her death outside the Luxor Hotel. Troubled by the ensuing cover-up, he becomes a man on a mission, enlisting the help of his old friend, an ace card player and master magician, to help find answers. The duo’s escapades range from poker tables to desert highways, from bordellos to child beauty pageants, resulting in a thoroughly satisfying and hilarious whodunit.

Advance Praise

“This is going to be fun to say: I really did like I Don't Like Where This Is Going…and I liked where it went, every page; it is a top-shelf delight.” - Ron Carlson

“Nothing is more fun than reading a John Dufresne novel, and I couldn’t be more pleased that he’s turned his brilliant mind to crime. This book deserves its comparisons to Chandler and MacDonald, but it finds a lot more gallows humor in Wylie Coyote’s violent, darkly fascinating world. Highly entertaining. You won’t put it down till you’re done, and then you’ll want more.” - Brad Watson

I am not normally a big mystery fan, but I was drawn to the local color promised here, and Dufresne does not disappoint. Colorful, amusing, rather violent, and socially progressive are not necessarily descriptors that I would think belonged to the same book, but he makes it work. A smart page-turner.
