I've enjoyed other series by A.J. Sherwood, but Jon's Crazy Head-Boppin' Mystery didn't quite land for me.

I listened to the audiobook version. I can't gauge if the accents were accurate, but they came across as caricatures. I would have preferred the narrator skip the accents, as he'd have done a great job otherwise.

The plot didn't grab me. Jon's Crazy Head-Boppin' Mystery focuses on the mystery/police procedural and the relationship between Jon and Donovan. I've already mentioned that the mystery wasn't engaging, but Jon and Donovan's relationship was also meh.
