Overview: Sleuthing may be hard, but parenting is harder!

Sometimes parenting sucks, especially at the beginning. There’s too little sleep and too much butt wiping. Fortunately, new dad Owen O’Shea has a brilliant wife and great friends to help him out. He also has a cozy wingback to sit in and a big window to look out from, two small comforts that make those 3 a.m. feedings a hell of a lot easier … at least at first.

Verdict: It’s during one of those wee-hour feedings when Owen witnesses suspicious activity across the way that seems less idyllic-suburban-cul-de-sac and more daytime-drama-meets-high-intrigue-thriller.

His curiosity piqued, Owen decides to do what any calm, responsible parent would: dive recklessly into an investigation that is either wildly off-base or life-threateningly true.

Are his neighbors innocent suburbanites or murderous psychopaths? Either way, he’s probably screwed!

In what is a truly fascinatingly sculpted new novel, author C. McGee has brought forth one of those books that life used to lovingly describe as a page turner. One where you lay there at night, ready for sleep, but once a chapter has been done, you tease yourself into just starting a new one to see what happens next (and we all know where that leads, don’t we!)

For what the author of Exteriors & Interiors and Feral Chickens has given us next is yet another highly enjoyable and easy mystery/thriller read of the highest order. One that, due to what I described above, in just three days, the prose is amenable to all, his dutiful characterizations and overall storytelling one that allows the reader to be willingly enveloped into an enthralling story line from the very off.

In short, Owen O’Shea, Stay-At-Home Dad, Wannabe Detective is a must read for anyone who enjoys a good, old-fashioned mystery that also comes wrapped in a seamlessly enraptured thriller, whilst at all times never straying from the fact that it is a family-driven story.

So if any of this makes you curious to read a newly-created story, one that is chock full of well-developed characters, scenically crisp observations, and enough intrigue to keep you attune from start to finish, I urge you to rush out, buy this book, settle down into a comfy seat, a hot cup of tea next to you, no distractions anywhere close, and lovingly immerse yourself today in this gripping story that surrounds the titular Owen O’Shea.
