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?

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.

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.

Fun Read

I really enjoyed this story. Miami is a smart assed investigator that reminded me a lot of the Virgil Flowers series. I love it when I get a bit of humor throughout a great mystery and a small dose of romance. Its the kind of book I like after finishing something deep that gets you in the feels and nothing else could compare. This is light, fun and a great diversion from the commute. The narrator was very good. The difference between characters was subtle but clear. I recently finished Bad monkey and this reminded me a bit of that too. The great disappointment of that was in the narration. The readers voice didn't match the main character and I couldn't connect with it. That was not the case with Paul Heitsch . His reading was spot on and a great story was given the extra dimension that makes an audio book jump off the page.
