Have you ever wondered what happens after one dies? After your soul departs your body for the immortal world? Well, in Who Killed Randy Ratphink? The Postmortem Adventures of a Fried-Brain Hippie, Jerry Flu has some pretty hilarious ideas. The book combines a brilliant and one of a kind story line with a writing style that is guaranteed to keep you focused and eager as you wait for Randy to solve his own murder.

Who Killed Randy Ratphink is a truly intriguing mystery with a touch of humor and a bonus twist.

Who Killed Randy Ratphink? by Jerry Flu has a promising start. The dead body of Randy Ratphink is hallucinating, leading to exclamations like the one reminiscent of French philosopher Descartes, "I stink, therefore I am." The dead body is in search of its killer; it metamorphoses into a cloud of thoughts and begins the search. On realizing that he was murdered, his aim is to find and square up with the murderer. His consultations, including a few with a known psychic graphologist adept at analyzing handwriting, take him many places. In his hunt, he sometimes gets caught on the wrong side of the law. He finally lands up with rather surprising developments connected with his murder, his search for the murderer, and the associates who joined him in his hunt.

The initial ten percent of this book is a real page turner; I relished it again and again. The way Randy takes revenge on his school time big bully is a wise and entertaining move. This book is full of such fascinating descriptions, like the behavior of certain characters presented as ‘finger spelling expletives.’ However the presence of the most interesting part of its plot, a corpse’s search for its murderer, finds only scant mention, mainly at the beginning and end of the tale. Also, the end should have been made more engaging to match the superb start. Even so, this is a well narrated story with a plot capable of holding one's interest.

Oh my gosh! That's what I thought when I finished reading the laugh-out-loud funny new book by debut novelist Jerry Flu, Who Killed Randy Ratphink?: The Postmortem Adventures of a Fried Brain Hippie.

And when he discovers who it is....well, I better let you read for yourself to find out what happens next.
