Reviews

[Jay Wright · Rating 3 out of 5]

Actually this was at least a three and a half. This is a comedy. Jones is a mining engineer who specializes in closed mines. He has made a decent living doing this until he gets involved in the mine formerly owned and operated by Lucky Haggarty. Haggarty died leaving a multitude of wives and girlfriends and children out the wazoo. No will was found. Jones goes to Haggarty’s main mistress who promptly seduces him. The comedy begins.

This is a humor book. It probably deserved 3 1/2 stars.

This was given to me by a neighbor. Pity read. But I really liked it. Worthy of the Nordic Track. It's fun. Give it a try.
