No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
The life of Aaron Tucker--freelance writer and stay-at-home dad--is anything but boring. In fact, Aaron manages to find himself in way more danger than your typical mild-mannered Jewish guy. In For Whom the Minivan Tolls (2002), he found missing persons, and now he lands in a murder investigation. When a leading conservative politician is found dead in his D.C. hotel room, discovered by his mistress after her long postcoital shower, the guy's ex (a former object of Aaron's affection) asks Aaron to find the killer. Aaron doesn't see himself as any investigating genius--he has his sights set on being a screenwriter--but he's also a pushover, so he takes the assignment, which doesn't sit well with his wife, nor does it make handling his demanding daughter and special-needs son any easier. Quirky, adorable, and downright funny, Aaron is a totally endearing antisleuth. Let's hope he keeps his screenwriting career on hold through a few more adventures. Mary Frances Wilkens
