Book Description:
Meet Teddy Ruzak. After his mother dies, Teddy quits his job as a night watchman to fulfill his childhood dream of being a detective. With little planning and even less foresight, he hangs up his shingle and hires his favorite waitress from the local diner to be his Girl Friday. And his first case? Bringing to justice the thoughtless driver who mows down six baby geese. Not the most exciting assignment-until Teddy's 'wild-goose chase' quickly evolves into an investigation of a vicious murder.

Cute mystery. A chubby bumbling security guard turned PI (almost) goes for his first case-the auto killing of baby geese and is drawn into murder. It is an easy reading book, but does keep you wondering- I have on my wish list his follow up book.

The book made me laugh. The guy writes like normal people sometimes think but don't dare say aloud. I really liked the book.

Very enjoyable cozy mystery. Book held my interest, though I was starting to have a few issues with the detective's secretary. I'll look for the next book in this series.
