Jesse Michael’s Whispering Bodies

The astute Bibliodiscophile will know the name Jesse Michaels as the lead singer of Operation Ivy and Common Rider. He’s now adding author to the list. Turns out he nails that as well.

Whispering Bodies is a crime novel penned by John Kennedy Toole. The crime centers around a dead maintenance man, a framed women, and Roy Belkin, an agoraphobic hermit with father issues. The humor centers around Roy Belkin’s ability to be the smartest guy in the room (often by default). As readers we laugh at the brutality of Belkin’s world and its cruelly bizarre twists and turns – as well as a crime scene photographer with tendencies toward the awkwardly exploitative.
