About this listen

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.

Smart. Funny. Great narration. Fresh and original story line. This author is so much fun. But he outdid himself on this one.

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!

I loved the surprise of it all. I was kept off kilter while feeling akin to the sassiness of the main character. Sarcasm was a main character as well hahaha! And I’m here for it

Remarkable twists and turns

This book is awesome and I can’t wait for the next one in the series. If you like the other E J Copperman series you will love this one just as much!

Great book!

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 loved the different type story line. I enjoyed the unknown elements of Fran and Ken and how the author sets you up to the next turn in the story. Kept me engaged and trying to put the pieces together and I look forward to the next book in the series!

Refreshing

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!
