The Stupidest Angel

The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror 

by Christopher Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is set in Pine Cove, California, the setting of The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove and the angel in the title made an appearance in Lamb. 
This was a laugh-out-loud story and I loved seeing some familiar characters again. 

"There had been a time, during his bong-rat years, when Theophilus Crowe would have stated, with little reservation, that he did not like surprises, that he preferred routine over variety, predictability over uncertainty, the known over the unknown. Then, a few years ago, while working on Pine Cove's last murder case, Theo had gotten to know and fallen in love with Molly Michon, the ex-scream queen of the B-movie silver screen, and everything changed. He had broken one of the cardinal rules--Never go to bed with anyone crazier than yourself--and he'd been loving life ever since." (p. 98)

This book was not on my original Literary Christmas list, but it definitely fits into that project.
