This engaging and clever debut features two unlikely protagonists: Stanley, who suffers from Parkinson's, and Dave, who has early-onset Alzheimer's. Caught up in financial and health insurance issues, they inadvertently become detectives on a case involving their bankrupt marketing company—and just about every other aspect of their lives. The precipitating events are the puzzling murder of Pete, a friend and the company's accountant, and the subsequent reappearance of Ronnie, Stanley's lost love. It turns out that Stanley's financial problems lead to the late Pete. Suddenly, life is very twisty, and some of Dave's logic actually makes sense. VERDICT Stanley and Dave are strikingly original sleuths, and Stanley's struggle with paranoia gives the mystery a postmodern twist. This is sure to delight puzzle lovers and fans of Diana O'Hehir's series about Carla Day and her Egyptologist father who suffers from Alzheimer's. Less
