Publisher's Summary:
Dean Lamaar is the architect of an entertainment empire and the creator of iconic characters like Rambunctious Rabbit and McGreedy the Moose. When his company falls on hard times, the only hope to get it back in the black is Familyland, an amusement park in Las Vegas. Mere days before the grand opening, an actor playing Rambunctious Rabbit is found dead on the park grounds, and everyone senses foul play. And after more characters wind up murdered, it becomes obvious that someone has it in for Lamaar. Lomax and Biggs are put on the case, and together they root out a murderer.
This rollicking tale is at once a multi-layered whodunit and a skewering of Tinseltown.
Critic Reviews:
"Enthusiastic listeners will anxiously await the return of detectives Lomax and Biggs." (Publishers Weekly)

Marshall Karp Writes Good :-)
Don't know why there are two readers for "The Rabbit Factory". They're both good but they seem to randomly hand off the story to one another and it kind of jerked me out of the mood. And that's a tiny bit a shame, since Marshall Karp put together an, um, hare raising tale of Disney-Land-Like-fun and mystery. Okay, the ending hops over the top, but this is fiction and rambunctious stuff. I'll get more Karp, and I'm happy to recommend 'The Rabbit Factory' as fine, if probably forgettable escape.
Poor performance
Would you consider the audio edition of The Rabbit Factory to be better than the print version?
Loved the story and looking forward to the next book in the series. The only issue I have with the book is the performer. You can hear him swallow! You hear every bit of mucous rolling around in his mouth. I hope the next book is better.
Would you be willing to try another one of James Jenner and Tom Stechschulte s performances?
No!
Great characters, great laughs
An excellent book for a lengthy car ride or a whole lot of short ones. Terrific characters - the two leads are believable guys you really root for. The obvious slings and arrows pointed at Disney are unmistakable, but are actually kind of fun. The narrator did a phenomenal job of giving life to a host of characters. I hope to see and read more from this author in the future - I'll definitely be looking for his next effort.
Good - Different and Enjoyable
A good amusing mystery with the LAPD detective duo of Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs. High marks for the originality of the story. A family fun amusement park, Lamaar, is terrorized with deaths for anyone (customers, workers, retailers selling merchandise or partnership) that supports the amusement park.
Running an amusement park is a fine-tuned business where the reputation/image is the cash cow. Dirtying the reputation caused a drop in the stock market, unemployment and deaths. The conflict centers around Lomax and Biggs trying to solve the murders and the CEO of Lamaars efforts to keep the information from the public. Lamaars CEO wants the crimes solved quickly and quietly. This is the tension and levity between the detectives and Lamaars staff.
Was the rabbit murder because he was a child molester or happens to be the guy in the rabbit suit?
The action consisted entirely of fast driving from one scene to the next. The dialogue and characters are funny. Biggs is the comedian, formerly a ladys man, who is now married with kids. Lomax is the straight guy who is recently widow.
