 Review

Walter smells something fishy with his mom’s new beau and he is determined to find out exactly what it is. When Adam and his daughter move in with Walter and his mother things heat up quickly, in more ways than one. 

Adam is hiding something.  Walter becomes a junior detective while his mother is completely clueless to Adam’s shortcomings…yes….love is blind!!

I enjoyed many parts of this read. It is very much entertaining.  Walter is a great character and he definitely keeps things interesting.   However, there were places it almost read like a young adult novel. This did not detract from the story, just not what I was expecting. 

I received this novel from the author for a honest review.
