In the first book, he filed a case for identity theft. Here, he is beaten up on his birthday. I wonder if he can match his bizarre experiences to all the forthcoming books. The plot thickens.
He certainly leads an exciting life. His books are good too. :lol:
Thanks for dropping by, Miriam

I have never come across such an entertaining book review. I don't know if I'm going to read this book for itself or for the way you have reviewed it.

Thank you for the helpful review. I like your description of the book. It contains elements that make for a good read, an interesting main character, resonance with the classic age of detective novels, and humor. The main character reminds me a little of Renee Pawlish's Reed Ferguson.

Thank you. I’m not familiar with Renee Pawlish, I’ll have to look out for her books.
