About this listen
Amazon Top 100 Best-Selling Romantic Comedy and Humorous Mystery author D. D. Scott is back...this time, with a brand new series and a new co-author, too.
The Stuck with a... Series is Castle-gone-country with the mom squad, Betty Boop, and My Cousin Vinny in the barnyard.
But this ain't no ordinary barnyard.
There's a lot more than a crazy rooster missing from the chicken coop, a bad ass cow causing a bunch of trouble, and a dog looking like a creature out of a storybook. There's a stiff too. A stiff - as in a dead guy - in a snow drift near the chicken coop.
Things aren't lookin' too good for Nicky Blane, who owns the farm. He's used to creating fictional stiffs for his best-selling novels, not defending himself from being framed for murder.
Bonus content included: In case you missed D. D.'s Stuck with a... Series Prequel Stuck with a Schmuck - which gives you a superfab fun setup to Stuck with a Stiff - no worries...'cause it's included!
About the authors:
D. D. Scott is an Amazon Top 100 Best-Selling Romantic Comedy and Humorous Mystery author. She's also a Writer's go-to-gal for muse therapy and indie epublishing, the co-founder of The WG2E - The Writer's Guide to E-Publishing, and the founder of The RG2E - The Reader's Guide to E-Publishing. You can get all the scoop on her, her books, her online classes and live workshops, plus juicy tidbits too from her new cyber home...D. D. Scott-ville.
David Slegg is a debut humorous mystery author. He grew up on a cattle farm on the banks of the Wabash River and studied Ag Economics at Purdue. He's been just about everything under the sun - a waiter, a research technician, a bouncer, a salesman, a mapmaker, a bookseller, an ultra-marathon runner, an AutoCAD drafter, and an editor. In his spare time, he recently earned his MLIS (Master of Library and Information Science) from Simmons College in Boston. His friends have been telling him for years that he should write a book. Let's just say he's had an unusually high number of improbably unlucky experiences. We're talking about the sorts of things that you'd find humorous if they were happening to a character in a novel but not so funny if they were happening to you. He's happy to be inflicting some of these situations on his characters. Hell, it's probably therapeutic.

"My name is Mike Ross. I'm a Ferryman. I help people with ghost problems, or ghosts with people problems. Funny thing, no one ever helps me with my problems. Civil War ghosts bent on killing me, Skinwalkers who just want my body, and a vindictive spirit linked both to my bloodline and my destiny... It turns out the dead still hold a good deal of influence over the world, and they don't want to give it up. I'm in way over my head. Fortunately, I'm too stubborn to quit."

Cleary, North Carolina, is a sleepy mountain town, the kind of place where criminal activity is usually limited to parking violations. Not so, lately. Four women have disappeared from Cleary over the past two years. And there's always a blue ribbon left near the spot where each of the women was last seen. There are no bodies, no other clues, and no suspicion as to who their abductor might be. And now, another woman has disappeared without a trace.

Frederick is a demon. Born in Maryland in the early 1980's, he hasn't a clue where he came from or why, but feels an irresistible desire to occupy a human body. Once inside, he finds the previous occupants' consciousness and memories forever erased, an inevitable side effect that gives Frederick pause when switching bodies, but not so much as to truly halt his ongoing enjoyment of human lives. In various bodies, he travels the world for decades - aimless - sampling cultures and experiencing life from the points of view of males, females, young, old, rich, poor.

What’s happening in Acker’s Gap, West Virginia? Three elderly men are gunned down over their coffee at a local diner, and seemingly half the town is there to witness the act. Still, it happened so fast, and no one seems to have gotten a good look at the shooter. Was it random? Was it connected to the spate of drug violence plaguing poor areas of the country just like Acker’s Gap? Or were Dean Streeter, Shorty McClurg, and Lee Rader targeted somehow?

Thriller scribe Sophie Katz is as hard-boiled as a woman who drinks Grande Caramel Brownie Frappuccionos can be. So Sophie knows it's not paranoia, or post-divorce, living-alone-again jitters, when she becomes convinced that a crazed reader is sneaking into her apartment to reenact scenes from her books. The police, however, can't tell a good plot from an unmarked grave.

Story
Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

Funny Little Mystery
I enjoyed this story. The characters were interesting and very amusing. And, it turned out that the mystery was pretty good too! I listened to the Audible version, and the alternating narration of the male and female characters added to the story. This is the first in the series and I will probably check out another one.
An added plus for me was that the main character loves animals, as evidenced by her rage when the rooster was kidnapped. The crazy cat lady Aunt is a fun character and I'd like to see more of her and her "sweet pea" (a shotgun!!).

Returned it, Narrator was annoying
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I think it was the narrator that bugged me, but maybe it was the writing, i just found the main character so annoying. It reminds me of the Stephanie Plum series, which i like the idea of, but find her weakness and sillyishness very unappealing. If you like that series though, you will probably like this one.
Has Stuck with a Stiff turned you off from other books in this genre?
Yes, i was trying them out for the first time, and probably the last.
How could the performance have been better?
Narrator could have been more down to earth and not tried so hard

Had to check to see if it was abridged
Would you try another book from D. D. Scott and David Slegg and/or Karyn O'Bryant and Jeffrey Kafer ?
maybe, if it was really cheap
What could D. D. Scott and David Slegg have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
flesh it out -- it has a clever premise, but the jumps are too sudden. I kept thinking it was a badly abridged version. The extended family premise was pretty much wasted: they set up these potentially interesting relationships then did nothing with them.
What didn’t you like about Karyn O'Bryant and Jeffrey Kafer ’s performance?
Dual-narration either works or it doesn't. This doesn't. The voices didn't complement each other. Plus, the Italian accents were excruciatingly awful -- sounded like a poor rendition of Romany gypsies. My Sicilian relatives would run screaming from the room.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Stuck with a Stiff?
I wouldn't have cut, I'd have added!
Any additional comments?
Okay, it wasn't totally awful, just nowhere near as good as it could have been. The ending obviously sets up a sequel -- I wouldn't mind seeing the authors try again.

A cheese filled blend of CSI, sopranos and acid
Would you try another book from D. D. Scott and David Slegg and/or Karyn O'Bryant and Jeffrey Kafer ?
No way. They pulled so many stereotypical yet flat characters into their barely there plot it was overwhelming. Not one character ever developed into anything but wallpaper. Even with the use of several explicatives - which seemed like a 6 year olds attempt at sounding like a grown-up - not one sentence crawled beyond the competent threshold.
What could D. D. Scott and David Slegg have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Stop populating your books with granny's wearing scuba suits and try writing some decent dialouge and a coherent storyline.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Karyn O'Bryant and Jeffrey Kafer ?
Almost anyone but them. Both sounded like they were being tortured into reading - when Kafer didn't sound like he was listing baseball statistics.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
A devil may-care-cow. Not something you see everyday.
Any additional comments?
Don't buy this book. I love to listen to half-baked mysteries - bubble gum for the brain. This one wasn't just poorly written - it seemed to have been concocted by someone who left their local watering hole at three am, twelve shots in and who thought they were literary geniuses.

AWESOME!
What made the experience of listening to Stuck with a Stiff the most enjoyable?
I loved having both a male and a female voice to deliver the great storyline!
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
This has a great storyline, so the listener wants to keep going on, instead of waiting for another time.
What does Karyn O'Bryant and Jeffrey Kafer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Great voices, so the characters seem to come to life.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
As the authors suggested, it's a little of Castle & Beckett gone country------great way to put it!
Any additional comments?
I loved the voice duo!

Any additional comments?
Didn't even get through the first chapter before I returned it. Couldn't get past the crudeness and foul language. Would not recommend it or buy another from this author.
