Representaion Toward Books A Psalm for Cock Robin: A Harp and His (Dead) Mother Mystery
A Psalm for Cock Robin is the most innovative murder mystery you will ever read. It features a gentle young man named Harp who lives under the Santa Monica pier after he was accidentally released from a mental hospital. When he wakes up one morning to find another homeless man lying dead right next to him, he runs away but soon becomes the main suspect in the murder. Harp must find the killer before the police find him. Sound like a familiar murder mystery plot? Not really. Harp is clearly not much of a detective, but his caustic, sarcastic, Bible-quoting mother is. The only problem is she's dead. But when Harp gets into trouble, she comes into his head to guide him (and harass him) as he searches among a wild assortment of Venice Beach crazies for clues about who the murderer might be. She becomes a sort of second protagonist, always there in Harp's head to keep him on the straight and narrow (often by quoting the grimmest of Grimm's fairy tales, the only thing she let Harp read when he was a child). As weird as this book may sound, it's actually very funny. You'll find yourself laughing out loud, whether you want to or not. It's a classic murder mystery, with a postmodern twist, one you'll never forget.Rating Based On Books A Psalm for Cock Robin: A Harp and His (Dead) Mother Mystery

If you read a description of this book - a schizophrenic homeless youth living under the pier in the mad world of Venice Beach is accused of murder - you'd think it would be a sad story. It's not. Not only is it a great (!) murder mystery with a hoard of very strange characters, it is hilarious. If you like to follow along with a reluctant detective as he tries to clear his name AND you like to be constantly surprised by unexpectedly funny happenings, you'll love this book. I sure did.If you read a description of this book - a schizophrenic homeless youth living under the pier in the mad world of Venice Beach is accused of murder - you'd think it would be a sad story.
