2013 Reading: Stein, Stoned by Hal Ackerman

Stein, Stoned by Hal Ackerman

Described as a “soft-boiled” mystery, this book definitely doesn’t take itself too seriously. Harry Stein, a former pot aficionado, gets himself involved in three mysteries at once. (One involves the theft of some primo weed.) They’re all a little far-fetched, but that’s what the suspension of disbelief is all about. The point is that Stein is turning 50 and isn’t really happy about where his life is at the moment. Chasing down leads and facing a little danger is just what he needs!

I’m no mystery fan, but this was a fun, quick read. And, like so many mysteries, this is part of a series. Stay tuned for more adventures of Harry Stein.
