Richard Sherlock Whodunit #3
The Case of Tiffany's Epiphany
Richard Sherlock is back on the case when his attractive, blonde assistant, Tiffany Richmond, takes a sip of a loaded cocktail putting her life into a complete tailspin. This sets off a chain reaction of twists, turns, and troubles, which only Sherlock, can untangle.
Along the way, Sherlock discovers dirty money being laundered, drug deals going down, shots fired, an exploding club scene, and a kidnapping, where Sherlock is forced to go to McDonald’s for lunch. Add in a dead bartender, buffed bodybuilders, body-buddy bouncers, a Behemoth, a very bad basketball team, and Tiffany’s tipsy torment, and Sherlock not only has to figure out whodunit, but why they did it.

Fun light read
It was a fun light hearted read. The main characters are funny and their quirks are played well. The story itself could be tighter. it tended to meander at times. A fun read nonetheless.

The Case of Tiffany's Epiphany, A Richard Sherlock Whodunit, Book #3
by Jim Stevens.
I'm so on the fence on how to rate this. I absolutely love Stevens' writing. I love each of the books I've read so far (3 out of the 4 existing to my knowledge). But, normally if I found proofing errors as I have in all 3 of the books, I would knock off a star. I like the stories so much, I haven't been able to bring my grammar/spelling/proofing Nazi out of hiding.
So let's get the argggggghs out first. This book, as the other three, continues to have sentences that are missing a word. I know the human mind is supposed to skip small words like a, an, of, it, is, to, etc. Mine does not. It may be able to understand the sentence without the word, but it sure knows it's missing. That means that I'm pulled out of the action, for the second it takes to notice that. I hate that. Then, in this novel, there's a sentence with an extra word in it. (SMH) I think it was a revised sentence that just got away, but it also contained another one of my least favorite errors -- the misplaced apostrophe. All I'm going to point out is that misplaced apostrophe, which occurs at about 1811 (...and all those PSA's that star people...). Mr. Stevens, PSAs is not a contraction nor is it possessive. It's just plural and does not take an apostrophe.
But, since I can't get around the fact that I love this series a ton, I couldn't bring myself to take off the star. I must be getting soft hearted in my old age.
In any event, this third in the series novel brings back the usual group -- Richard Sherlock, his two daughters, Care and Kelly, and his assistant/protoge, Tiffany. Add in two new police detectives, Nuela "No-No" Noonan (who starts most of her sentences with the words "No, no"), and hypochondriac Jack "Wait" Wayt (who tends to start his conversaitions with "Wait,"). Also there is Tiffany's nemsis Alix, the object of both of their attentions, Monroe, the bar tender Bruno, the bouncers, Sterno and Arson, the slimy guy, Massey, the Behemoth, Gibby Fearn, Zanadu's VP of Operations, D'Wayne DeWitt, purported high management of Zanadu, the Thug, Jimmy Cappilino a/k/a Mr. Rogers a/ka/ whomever, doorman Guido and even more interesting and exotic characters. Yes, Stevens populates his novels with a host of characters, giving Sherlock quite a bit to think about.
In this episode, we start with Tiffany receiving a spiked drink at Zanadu which causes her to pass out after taking just one sip. She enlists the help of Sherlock to track down the culprit. In the course of this investigation, Sherlock is kidnapped by the Thug and taken to a lonely alley to have a "talk" with some unknown someone. Upon arriving, shots ring out, not at Sherlock, but at his kidnappers. Sherlock is unhurt, but once the cops arrive, he's also the only one left in the alley. Shooters and shot-ats have disappeared. During a return trip to Zanadu, Sherlock is asked by D'Wayne DeWitt, purported upper management at the club, to find out who is trying to kill him. More investigation, and another ride with the Thug to be employed by the supposed owner of Zanadu, a/k/a Jimmy Cappilino a/k/a Mr. Rogers and probably other aliases. It's a convoluted ride to figure out multiple mysteries, all while trying to coach daughter Care's basketball team to better their 0-8 record. There are successes and there are failures. Some mysteries aren't meant to be solved.
I think one of the things that keeps me reading this series so faithfully is the humor Stevens sprinkles so generously throughout the novel. From situational humor to character humor, the reader is forever smiling at something. This book had more bloodshed, violence and mayhem than the preceding two, and, certainly main characters were put into more immediate danger in this than in earlier books. But, the feel of the novels remains in the cozy genre, rather than in the more action oriented mysteries. The books are a treat, so, yes, I'm on to the fourth (and as of this writing, the last) book in the series: The Case of Mr. Wonderful. I'm sure I'll smile.

This series really hits my funny bone. Murder/mystery involving an insurance investigator - who really hates his job - that solves mysteries. This time it starts with a personal job to find out who slipped a mickey into his assistant's (?) drink, but ends up with an investigation involving drug syndicates. Ends with the solving via a charades party, that seems a lot like a Hercule Poirot finale.
Series recommended.

This is just unacceptable ! Tiffany Richmond, daughter of the extremely wealthy Jamison Wentworth Richmond has been "Roofied" in a night club. Yes, this will guarantee "The Case OF Tiffany's Epiphany", will certainly try the patience and mental health of it's anguished protagonist. Without haste and for Tiffany's sake big daddy Richmond immediately assigns his "on call" investigator Richard Sherlock on the case. The third outing in author Jim Steven's "The Reluctant Dick" series stars former Chicago detective Richard Sherlock. On the CHP for 19 years, and 16 as a detective Sherlock was fired just shy of his pension for punching out his boss. Now working on scrap cases for the giant Richmond Insurance company, he also must mentor Tiffany to be an investigator one day. Tiffany was hanging out one night at a club called Zanadu when the embarrassing event occurred. Once Sherlock digs into the case he's pretty horrified with Tiffany's world. Before long the case revolves around brief cases of money, and armored cars of money being swapped all over city of Chicago. At one point Sherlock is "taken for a ride" by two thugs. But a shoot out in an alley goes wrong and Sherlock is running for his life. Luckily for Sherlock, "wait Jimmy Wayt" (Think: Bond James Bond) is detective on case. Sherlock and Tiffany stumble themselves through several crazy situations trying to following the money. At times having to investigate this case with his two young daughters along makes Tiffany harder to keep focused. It was an enjoyable read. The characters are somewhat zany at times. This book certainly is colorful. It did seem to read somewhat slowly. Sometimes there are just too many adventures, and not enough of pushing the plot across finish line. By the end Tiffany's roofie experience kind of disappeared. However, that case was solved. Going with four stars out of a possible five stars for author Jim Stevens, "The Case Of Tiffany's Epiphany". This read was just as enjoyable as the first two books in series. Check this series out. It's fun reading to say the least. I wonder who could possible explain epiphany to Tiffany ?

The series just keeps getting better
Another fun read watching Richard Sherlock struggle through his life while he's trying to solve the mystery. What starts out to be just trying to find why somebody spiked Tiffany's drink, turns into a mystery that lands Sherlock and friends in the middle of a serious set of crimes.

I liked this book as much as the previous ones, once again the plot is engaging, the story is funny, and the characters larger than life. Sherlock's engagement with his preteen daughters hilarious at times and as always Tiffany is just as funny as ever.

I am crazy about this series. Laughter combined with plenty of thrill makes it an amazing read. I find it very adorable. The author has an excellent sense of humor with a flair creating and maintaining suspense until the end. I got addicted to it.
Richard Sherlock is coaching the basketball team of his daughter, Care, at her school while Kelly is fiddling with her mobile. Tiffany enters into the play area seeking help from Sherlock to find out who drugged her at the Zanadu nightclub. Tiffany getting drugged is just the tip of the iceberg in the nightclub where drug peddling and money laundering is taking place at an alarming rate but Sherlock is unable to find out the concrete evidence. He is hired by one of the owners of the club, D'wayne Dewitt, to find out who is trying to kill him. Tiffany tells him about Bruno, the bartender, who was at the bar when her drink was spiked. Sherlock finds out his address and discovers his bashed up rotting corpse. When he calls the cops, a lady detective Neula No-no Noolan arrives at the crime scene.
One incident leads to another, Sherlock gets kidnapped by two thugs and there is a shootout at the drug exchange location. His detective friend 'Wait' Jack Wayte informs about the discovery of six more gruesome bodies.
Are these incidents inter related? Richard is kidnapped along with his daughters by the same kidnappers and presented before their boss, Jimmie, aka Rogers, The CEO and the owner of Zanadu nightclub to investigate irregular cash transactions. Will Sherlock succeed in solving the case? During the course of his investigation, Dewitt's office is exploded with no major injury to him. Gibby Fearn, the manager, gets arrested in this case.
Do grab this book and read Sherlock's exploits to capture the culprit. Tiffany's nemesis, Alix Fromound also provides a vital clue in Tiffany's drugging case. I highly recommend this book to all the mystery lovers who also love to laugh. Great book.

How strange it is
I bought this book as soon as I finished the first book. How strange it seemed to me that the character of Tiffany seemed to flip flop entirely. I liked her before, but in this book book, not so much. I think the author writes like a stand-up comedian. The jokes are more important than the characters. I am not sure what I think about that. I will wait awhile before deciding whether or not to buy the next one.

Richard Sherlock Does It Again!...
Filled with snappy dialogue and populated with engaging, interesting characters, the Richard Sherlock series is a real find - one of my favorite mystery series! Self-centered, but beautiful and with a heart of gold, Tiffany has an unexpected occurrence at a local club one night that begins a domino effect of murder and other foul deeds—fun and absorbing story with an interesting twist at the end. Great read!

Cute, but silly. OK plot. Decent, likeable main character - but after 3 books the Tiffany character is just too much to put up with. It's like a sit-com with an annoying laugh track - you know something is 'supposed' to be funny, but it's basically the same old gag. It's just becomes annoying and you're not laughing anymore.

I really like the characters - Tiffany and Jack along with No-No. Even his children were funny in their own way. Altogether it was fun to read and hope to see more of the same in the future.

Better than expected.
An engaging story, I probably could have read it in one or two sittings if I wasn't so busy. It held my interest from beginning to end. The characters were unique, quirky, but believable. Good job, Mr. Stevens!

Really enjoyed this story. Sherlock is a common guy doing uncommon work. And Tiffany is a piece if work so it really all just works out. Can't wait to read more.

a Not as good as the first two
I liked the story itself ok, but “No-No” and “Wait” were too much as were some other parts of this one.

Richard Sherlock is a private investigator. He was kicked off the police force because he punched his supervisor in the face over a disagreement. The punch was on live television.
Richard Sherlock is divorced with two daughters who visit him on a regular basis. His ex-wife is someone who apparently has the personality and integrity of a snake. Because of the divorce and the personality of the ex-wife, Richard Sherlock is in an eternal state of poverty.
This is third in a series but it is easy to follow and a new reader will have no problem becoming immersed in the story.
There is a mystery to be solved. Tiffany, Richard's assistant, has been given a drink at a club that made her faint and fall to the floor. Because Tiffany is the daughter of Mr Richardson, Sherlocks employer, it is imperative that the reason for the drugging is found. And the person who did the drugging must be punished.
This fist mystery leads to many more. There is drug dealing, murder, attempted murder, and a lot of bad fashion sense going on.
This is a funny book. Richard is a funny man. His daughters are funny kids. The police we encounter are funny. Tiffany is very funny but she has no idea that she is funny. In fact, Tiffany has not many ideas about anything.
Mr Stevens is a talented author who makes the atmosphere of the city of Chicago a big part of the book. The plot is well developed. At times I felt I got a little too much description.
The characters are terrific. We get to know everyone very well. Richard is a human being with many flaws. But, he is so likable we want him to succeed. The secondary characters add much to the story. Whether we are at a girls' basketball game or being taken for a ride, we are a part of the story and meeting new and interesting characters.
If you like a mystery with humor, you will enjoy this book. It is not a cozy, but it is a true mystery.

The Case of Tiffany’s Epiphany by Jim Stevens has its high points. The beginning is strong and draws you in and then makes you laugh. Humor is woven throughout, mostly provided by the vapid Tiffany. The pacing is mostly well done. But then there are the low points. The whole thing is rather ridiculous and completely unbelievable. Sherlock’s daughters are obnoxious caricatures of cell-phone obsessed teenagers (and while he complains about it, he doesn’t do anything about it). For the first 2/3 of the book every time Sherlock’s cop friends are mentioned – which is often – their nicknames of “Wait” and “No-no” are unnecessarily explained. The wrap-up is overly long. I found my mind drifting because I ended up not caring very much anymore as it went on and on (and wasn’t actually very well explained anyway). The final information comes into play way too fast and doesn’t totally make sense. A couple things seem to be totally forgotten as the book goes on. Tiffany’s Epiphany wasn’t a complete waste of time, but it certainly wasn’t a page-turner eith

These books just keep getting better and the cast of zany characters keeps growing as well. Added this time around are two of Sherlock's former detective compatriots on the Chicago PD, "Wait" Jack Wayt and "No No" Neula Noonan. Wayt is a nearly 40 year veteran of the force and an inveterate hypochondriac, Noonan is a weight challenged female detective with an extreme crush on Wayt. When either or both of them are around mayhem and chaos are sure to follow.
The case this time surrounds Tiffany's sudden collapse from a bar stool at an uber popular night club where the upscale clientele reads like a list of Who's Who in the Chicago area. Follow that with the disappearance and murder of the bartender suspected of serving Tiffany the doctored drink and you have a conundrum that keeps our hero second guessing until his Poirot like gathering and big reveal at the end. I await the arrival of the next book in the series, ”The Case of the Not So Mr. Wonderful" with baited breath.
