Dude Magnet by Gregory Ashe
5.0
For someone who had spent a lifetime perfecting the fine art of avoiding confrontation, conflict, and any version of addressing his problems in a head-on and adult manner, this was an unmitigated disaster.

“I’m not saying I want you to burn Hemlock House down and make everyone believe I perished in a record-breaking inferno—”
“I know this is going to sound crazy,” Fox said, “but I’m even more invested in this plan when he says it like that.”
“—but I wouldn’t be angry if you did.”

Deputy Bobby had told me any number of times that he thought being called Deputy Bobby made him sound like a character in a kids’ show. Right then, he said a lot of words that, if he had been on a kids’ show, would have required an emergency cut to commercial.
“I understand you’re upset,” I said.
Another quick cut to commercial.

Another perfect 5 stars. Charming, quirky, clever, full of lovable characters and laughs, an engaging mystery, and surprising and earnest depth regarding love and choosing what’s right for oneself that you rarely find in a light and cozy setting.
Like any Ashe work, it’s all wrapped up in the highest quality of writing and has a flair that is uniquely his. I’m so thrilled we’ll have 10 more of this series coming.
I backed this one on Kickstarter and it’s absolutely a worthwhile Investment. I can’t wait for the audio; this is a series that is fun and quick and cozy enough I could see relistening to it over and over, while having depth and nuance that will keep it fresh and meaningful on repeat reads.
