Episode 1-22: Lenny Dykstra is My Spirit Animal

June 11, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/06/11/episode-1-22-lenny-dykstra-is-my-spirit-animal/ Wherein I review: 85. The Summer of Dead Toys by Antonio Hill 86. I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt 87. Peter Pan Must Die (Dave Gurney #4) by John Verdon One procedural goes a bit telenovela (or maybe I’m just racist)(probably).  One diminutive contract assassin kills someone with a Ferris wheel.  And we finally find out who killed Jimmy Hoffa.  It was Eli Manning.  That motherless whore.
