Duckett & Dyer: Dicks For Hire by G.M. Nair
4.0
I will be the first to admit that I was not very excited about reading this book. However, I was more than surprised at how much I enjoyed this story. It starts with a guy named Michael Duckett who is struggling just to get by. He loses his job, has broken his phone, is about to be evicted from his crappy apartment and the last thing he needs is more chaos in his life. His roommate Stephanie Dyer, who's main hobbies are video games and freeloading, isn't much help to his plight. However, when mysterious advertisements of a mystery solving duo surfaces Michael is more than surprised to see both his and Stephanie's name on it. Stephanie jumps head first into their first case, to find a missing person, and drags Michael along every step of the way. But throughout the city others are going missing. This dynamic duo somehow find their way falling through the multiverse with nothing but a ring and a mysterious list of names. Can they solve the case of all the missing persons before it is too late? Can they even make it back to their own universe in one piece?
Despite starting off slow and having to wade through pages until the plot finally picks up it is definitely worth it. The descriptions of this book are vivid and assist greatly to help the reader picture what is going on in their mind. Sentence structures are natural and flow well, the dialogue is realistic. The characters are all unique, consistent, and believable. The subplot of the police detective hunting down the mysterious criminal, while confusing at times, does make a full circle with the rest of the plot. This is an adorable crime solving comedy that is great if you are looking for something fun to read. This book would make for a great comic book with the amount on imagination that was poured into it by G.M. Nair. I would rate this book at 4 out of 5.
