For Whom the Minivan Rolls: An Aaron Tucker Mystery (Aaron Tucker Mysteries)

EDITORIAL REVIEW: Aaron Tucker isn't a detective. So he's baffled when the richest guy in his New Jersey town insists that Aaron, and Aaron alone, investigate the disappearance of this wife, who inexplicably vanished from their home in the middle of the night. A freelance writer, former investigative reporter, stay-at-home dad, aspiring screenwriter, and expert on consumer electronics, Aaron reluctantly says yes, and continually wishes he hadn't. The more he uncovers, the more complicated, and bizarre, the story becomes. He receives anonymous death threats, is plagued by a mysterious minivan that seems to be lurking everywhere he travels, and he is suddenly entangled in the town's mayoral election. A traditional detective Aaron Tucker is not. He's 5'4'' and weighs less then Robert B. Parker's leather jacket. But he's funny, down-to-earth, lovable, and resourceful.
