About this audiobook
A self-important, bumbling small-town investigator takes on mysteries far beyond his actual capabilities with unwavering confidence. Despite his spectacular ineptitude and tendency to miss the obvious, he consistently stumbles his way into the heart of local crimes. His pompous methods and sheer luck create a hilarious contrast against the genuinely cunning villains he faces. As the stakes inexplicably rise, the line between fool and hero blurs in delightfully unexpected ways. His misguided adventures prove that sometimes, oblivious persistence is the greatest weapon of all.
