It is refreshing to read a cozy mystery from a male perspective especially when it is as fun to read as Stakeouts and Strollers.
Charlie is a former reporter who is transitioning to a private detective role. He and his businesswoman wife are struggling with their newborn daughter’s sleep patterns, or lack of them, too. When Charlie agrees to help a young girl find her missing father, he doesn’t realize that will involve local mobsters and dirty cops. But Charlie is determined to help regardless of the consequences.
I really enjoyed Stakeouts and Strollers. It has a great plot, some new parent humor, and believable characters that you want to succeed. It is highly recommended to cozy mystery readers. I can’t wait for the next entry in the series. 5 stars!
