I just loved this book! It was so funny and the characters are truly memorable. Of course, the older you are the more you'll relate! I'd love to see a sequel.
Thoroughly delightful book. Buck Schatz is like a Jewish Archie Bunker. He's an smoking, drinking, foul-mouthed 87-year-old retired homicide detective who finds himself involved in a case involving Nazi gold and murder. His lack of understanding of the newfangled gadgets (like Google and GPS) is hysterical.
Three star mystery but I gave it two stars because of the excessive profanity. I would have my grandparents listen to it but I'm too embarrassed by the language.
read it as part of the Salt Lake County's Readers Choice Program
I gave this book 3 stars. I thought it was JUST O.K. Most of the humor didn't strike me as funny.
I enjoyed the cranky old man. I found the book very funny and enjoyable.
