Publisher's summary

The prize possession of former football hero, part-time media personality, and full-time blowhard BJ Baker has been stolen from his palatial Palm Beach home. Baker has called in the mayor, the police, the sheriff, and everyone else he can co-opt into the search. But if he really wants the person who can find it, one name keeps coming up: Miami Jones. Problem is, he can't stand Jones. And the feeling is mutual.

Miami takes on a jealous husband, a feisty ex-con, and a police detective desperate to claim everyone else's 15 minutes of fame, and he finds that Florida is home to so many retired athletes he could start a pensioner football league. But can Miami hunt down the culprit before they graduate from theft to something far more deadly?

A great time

From start to finish ‘Stiff Arm Steal’ will keep you entertained and guessing who done it. The characters are interesting and fun and the writing is good! The plot keeps it interesting and moves at a good clip to keep you wanting more. If you’re looking to escape to the Florida heat and want a smart detective, Miami Jones is your man!

The narrator does a great job bringing the story to life and really added to the enjoyment of my story!

Not quite a cozy but not a hard hitter mystery. Really enjoyable.

The plot had enough intrigue and twists and football trivia that it made for a fun listen. We are looking forward to the next in the series for this author.

Decent story, good writing, but cliche hero

Right to it:

Pros: Stewart can turn a phrase pretty well; the mystery itself was reasonably good; and the narrator was good
Cons: The hero was the cliche tough but tender, wise-cracking PI who I sometimes found very annoying, and most of the other characters were stereotypes, some in the extreme

It wasn’t actually a bad book. For the right price I’ll try the second in the series.

Fun listen!

This was a fun listen. Enjoyable from start to finish. Some books go down like Tonic and lime 0blech) but this one is more like smooth Tennessee Whiskey.
