Summary
This Body's Not Big Enough for Both of Us is a brilliantly subversive and comic thriller celebrating noir detectives, Die Hard, Fast & Furious, and the worst case of sibling rivalry, that can only come from the mind of Edgar Cantero.
An office door bears the names of A. Kimrean and Z. Kimrean, Private Eyes. Behind the door there is just one desk, one chair and one scrawny, androgynous detective. A.Z., as they are collectively known, are twin brother and sister. He’s pure misanthropic logic, she’s wild hedonistic creativity. The Kimreans have been locked in mortal battle since they were in utero...which is tricky because they literally share one single body. That’s right. One body, two pilots.
Someone is murdering the sons of a drug cartel boss in the biggest baddest town in California - San Carnal. A.Z. Kimrean must go to the sin-soaked streets, infiltrate the boss’s inner circle, and find out who is targeting his heirs. Plus rescue an undercover cop in too deep, deal with a plucky young stowaway, and face every plot device and break every rule Elmore Leonard wrote before they can crack the case.
Critic reviews
"In A.Z. Kimrean, Cantero has written the funniest private investigator this side of Peter Sellers. How can you not love the warring siblings, opposites in a single body, as they outwit everyone they meet? You will. You will love them." (Josh Malerman, New York Times best-selling author of Bird Box)

Just too silly
I bought this on the strength of Meddling Kids, which is an outstanding -- but silly -- book. This book is clever and funny, but not sufficiently clever or funny to offset the fundamental silliness of the plot. I guess it's not a bad book in its own right, but my expectations had been raised. Incidentally, the silliness doesn't come from the fundamental premise of the book, which is that a single body can host cells with different DNA -- this is medically well-documented, although extremely rare. No, the silliness comes from the plot, and the way the characters behave.
