โฆ Synopsis
From Publishers Weekly
Meet one of the most unlikely new detectives in crime fiction, wise-cracking former investigative reporter and aspiring screenwriter Aaron Tucker, who agrees to help wealthy New Jersey businessman Gary Beckwirth find his missing wife, Madlyn, in screenwriter Jeffrey Cohen's antic first novel, For Whom the Minivan Rolls: An Aaron Tucker Mystery. A mysterious minivan, a mayoral election and murder keep our hero hopping when he'd prefer to be stay-at-home dad. Given the author's Hollywood connections-prominent among the book's many blurbs is one from Larry Gelbart-the chances for a film option appear excellent.

Review
Cohen's reluctant detective is short, slight, and middle-aged, but he's a winner... A seamless, zany, original debut. -- COZIES, CAPERS & CRIMES, GERALDINE GALENTREE (LEAD REVIEW, SEPTEMBER 2002 ISSUE)
Minivan rolls merrily along. Its ideas on marriage and murder are wise, wicked, witty, and surprisingly tender ... A delightful book. -- LARRY GELBART, WRITER (MASH, TOOTSIE, OH, GOD!, BEDAZZLED, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, BARBARIANS AT THE GATE, ETC.), From the Book Jacket*
So much fun ... Fans of humorous cozies will likely see that the author and main character get a long run." -- -- SUSAN ANDERSON, REVIEWINGTHEEVIDENCE.com, September 2002 issue
