After losing their parents when they were just babies, private investigators Fran and Ken Stein now specialize in helping adoptees find their birth parents. So when a client asks them for help finding her father, with her only clue a rare ukulele, the case is a little weird, sure, but it's nothing they can't handle. But soon Fran and her brother are plunged into a world where nothing makes sense—and not just the fact that a very short (but very cute) NYPD detective keeps trying to take eternal singleton Fran out on dates.

All Fran wants to do is find the ukulele and collect their fee, but it's hard to keep your focus when you're stumbling over corpses and receiving messages that suggest your (dead) parents are very much alive. Ukuleles aside, it's becoming clear that someone knows something they shouldn't—that Fran and Ken Stein weren't so much born as built…

The Ukulele of Death is the first in a new series of light-hearted, paranormal tinged mysteries that are filled with off-beat humor, heart, and the wry wisdom that's E.J. Copperman's signature style.

This was a fun, smart, extremely enjoyable listen. I loved the narrator and hope that we get to hear her again on the next Fran and Ken Stein mystery. A complete joy!

I was surprisingly entertained by this audiobook. The first couple of chapters didn’t necessarily capture my attention, but as I continued to listen, I was captured by the storyline. Franny and Ken’s personalities were written perfectly, and I might look to see if there is a continuation to the storyline.

I loved the narrator!

Story is great. I love E.J Copperman's writing. The narrator was not great. Most of the story was read in the form of a question? That's not great?

Good Story, Narration needs improvement

I was at first taken aback by the protagonist, but Copperman's writing quickly pulled me in. I enjoy this story.

Unusual for this author, but the writing didn't disappoint

I absolutely love the characters in this story, especially Fran and her narration. She is awesome, and the actual narrator chosen to represent her did such a marvelous job. So good!

Wonderful!
