Decent mystery with likeable, quirky main character and supporting ones. Especially like that protagonist is a lawyer that fronts a Barry Manilow cover band and is also struggling with whether to find out if he has the gene for Alzheimer's disease- somehow it works. Some of the plot turns were a little confusing but it could be that my intermittent reading led to my forgetting. I'd read another book by the author even though I prefer female main characters. Recommended light mystery, not exceptional though.

Just not up to snuff--too convoluted and too many big clues coming out of left field at the end of the story; could not really get into the flow of the plot with so many characters and alternate storylines. Sorry

RATING: 2.5
PROTAGONIST: Gordon Seegerman
OCCUPATION: Misdemeanor attorney
SETTING: Santa Rita, California
SERIES: #2 of 2
SUMMARY: Gordon Seegerman is a slacker misdemeanor attorney whose real passion in life is playing in a Barry Manilow tribute band whose goal is to secure a gig in Las Vegas when Barry is there and meet Mr. Manilow. And the band's name - are you ready for this - the Mandys. In his day job, Gordon represents a young man who is accused of stealing an opposing team's mascot and possession of marijuana. Oh, and then there's a murder. I disliked this book. All of the characters were irritating to me. I didn't like any of the band members and most particularly hated the pregnant lesbian female singer who had to be involved in everything and was connected via cell phone to whatever was going on. I couldn't stand Gordon's obsession with his ex and his drooling all over the place whenever she was on the scene. In fact, I found the whole book irritating.

Funny mystery. I read author's previous "Misdemeanor Man" and enjoyed it. Protagonist is a public defender who just wants to put in his time on the job and then do what he really loves after hours--being front man for a Barry Manilow tribute band.

I'm so sorry there are only two of these "Misdemeanor Man" books. Both are funny and interesting. After these books, Schaffer wrote a memoir -- but nothing since. Did he decide to concentrate on lawyering?

Same plotting problems, but I still enjoyed this. Looks like there's no sequel ... bummer. I wanted to know what happened with the blood test.
