What to expect
This Thanksgiving, two birds of a feather are about to get plucked.
Former con artist photographers Bingo Riggs and Handsome Kusak are en route from the grit of New York City to the glitter of Sunset Boulevard when their dreams are waylaid in a tragic roadside accident with an errant turkey. But getting stuck in the off-the-map community of Thursday County, Iowa, has an upside: a blushing farmer’s daughter with a promising sob story. To help her ailing grandma, the Halvorsen family turkey farm is up for grabs. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, Bingo and Handsome plan to make a bundle off the gobbling herd.
But these two city slickers should’ve known that small towns hide big secrets—and Thursday’s secrets go back more than a decade. Before long, Bingo and Handsome get tangled up in a bank robbery, face off with an escaped convict, follow the trail of a buried fortune, are wrangled into a fowl conspiracy, and come to a dead end when they become suspects in a murder. As Thanksgiving day nears, it could very well be their heads on the chopping block.
Critics Review
“Narrator Johnny Heller provides rapid pacing for the slapstick atmosphere…Heller’s unique voices for the characters help listeners vividly imagine each one. The use of New York accents for Bingo and Handsome, as well as Midwestern accents for the Iowans, adds distinct atmosphere.”
“Bingo and Handsome to the rescue once again…There’s everything—an escaped convict, murders, a disappearance, with clues leading back to a fifteen-year old bank robbery, with money reputed to be hidden in the town of Thursday.”
