Hell Made Easy: Volume 1 (The Trilogy from Hell)

Good help is hard to find these days, even for someone as powerful as the horned and hooved, gloriously evil, master of the universe Mephistopheles. Having gone to the trouble of writing a manual on how to serve the Dark Lord in everyday life, one would assume the business of lost souls would be booming. From catchy motivational statements like “Own the horns,” to clear-cut, easy-to-follow instructions such as “Men should be clean-shaven so as not to appear to have evil intentions,” to wise insights: “Ignore the big picture. The Devil is always in the details,” the guide should ensure no souls slip through the cracks. So what happened to that damned attorney Clyde after he died?

There may be traitors among his minor devils, or perhaps the fiery Meph has met his match when his evil forces attempt to overtake a small Wisconsin town where a quirky cast of cursed characters try to solve the mystery of Clyde’s lost soul in the hope of saving their own.

A must-read for fans of Douglas Adams’s satire, Hell Made Easy is the fantastically funny first novel in Lisa Boero’s Trilogy from Hell.

Lisa Boero is a practicing corporate lawyer who moonlights as a novelist. Her first two books, Murderers and Nerdy Girls Work Late and Bombers and Nerdy Girls Do Brunch, feature the fast-talking, face-blind detective Liz Howe. With her new series, Trilogy from Hell, the author blends her legal knowledge, matchless dark humor, and one of her all-time favorite story lines-lawyers trying to outwit the devil. Boero lives with her family in Marshfield, Wisconsin, and can be found online at http: //lisaboero.com/.
