About this ebook
In this, the third Aaron Tucker mystery, Aaron, fresh from a trip to Hollywood to "take meetings" on his screenplay, finds himself dragged kicking and screaming once again into investigating a murder, this time of a man in a nearby town shot while walking his dog at night. The young man accused of the crime has Asperger's Syndrome, the same autism-related disorder that Aaron's son Ethan has had since birth.
Aaron is hip-deep in the investigation when he's assaulted by visiting Visigoths—no, wait, that's just his wife Abby's brother and his family, come to visit for a week. But then a local mobster becomes aware of Aaron's poking around in the killing, and wants him to stop. It's going to be an especially interesting holiday season for New Jersey's funniest height-challenged amateur sleuth.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Cohen has written other books with the character, New Jersey writer, Aaron Tucker. This one was recommended to me by both Pam Mc. and Donna G. as being laugh out loud funny. I thought it was mildly amusing. It certainly fit the bill as a light-weight, easy-to-read little mystery. Sometimes it felt like Cohen was trying too hard to make yet another smart aleck quip, but I suppose that’s harmless. This book incorporates the Tucker’s son, Ethan, who has Asperger’s. Another Aspergers young man has been accused of murder and even though Aaron is a writer (both screenwriting and magazine articles) he is called upon to do some investigative work on the case. Apparently he’s done this in the past as he’s quite familiar with the local police. I get the feeling there are recurring characters in this series. It’s a low-budget book in terms of paper quality and typographical errors, but I would recommend it as a light, mostly amusing mystery.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This my favorite of the three Aaron Tucker books, probably because of the introduction of the dog. Aaron is still staying home with his kids, writing freelance, and getting involved in a murder. This one touches pretty close to home and involves his son with Asperger's. There is still a lot of humor and those laugh out loud moments which have become a trademark of this series.
