About the Author

As a popular radio and television personality in his hometown of New Orleans, Jules Cassard knows how to tell a good story. That may be why his satirical style of crime fiction has been described as "a unique blend of the comic and the tragic" and "the best kind of black humor." Jules Cassard is the author of several short stories such as "The Inanimates" and "A Codependent Pistol" as well as the plays "Stuck Together" and "First Impression." He lives in New Orleans with his wife and two children. "Dirt Nap Rhapsody" is his first novel.

Reviews

"It was invigorating to read a rather unconventional family story. One would not think certain twists would strike immediately, but in Dirt Nap Rhapsody things happen unexpectedly and when they do laughter follows."
"I love this book! It's a great mystery and you never know quite what will happen next. The characters are very interesting and it's great seeing multiple points of view. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope to see more from this Jules Cassard in the future!!"
"I didn't know what to expect when I first picked up this book. Is it a mystery? A suspense? A comedy? It is, of course, all of the above. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. The story comes together as told from the perspectives of different characters, some of whom are seemingly normal at first but gradually reveal their absurdity. The funny dialogue and plot twists kept me hooked til the end. This is both a fun and funny mystery to read."
"Normally I am not one for suspense and mystery novels, but Dirt Nap Rhapsody by Jules Cassard has proven to be the exception. This novel completely hooked me from the very first page and I couldn't put it down. The author has done a wonderful job with making such a contrasting, twisted story believable with realistic, distinctive characters that I found myself relating to."
