Too Much Stuff: A Novel [Paperback]

USA Todaybest-selling author

A 1935 hurricane in the Florida Keys destroyed the East Coast Railway, killed five-hundred people and blew away the town of Islamorada. Lost in that storm was Mathew Kriegel, a finance director for the railroad, and one and a quarter million dollars in gold. Now newly minted private investigators Skip More and James Lessor, of More Or Less Investigations have been hired to find that lost treasure. Fighting off competitors, scuba diving, digging in a spooky cemetery and almost getting killed is only part of their job. Skip and James have stumbled onto the biggest most dangerous adventure of their lives.

Inspired by Les Standifords book Last Train to Paradise, this silly caper just happens to share some Florida history too. Recommend for those looking for a chuckle, movie quotes (Skip and Jamess specialty), and something along the lines of Dave Barry. - Library JournalCombine a 1935 hurricane, a massive train wreck, lost gold, and the Florida Keys, along with two inept private investigators and you have Too Much Stuff. P.Is Skip More and James Lessor of More Or Less Investigations may have bit off more than they can chew in this humorous adventure. Bruns has written a humorous series with likeable characters. I found myself rooting for these two quirky guys who manage to bumble along solving mysteries and along the way they find out a little more about who they really are. I recommend this book especially for those who enjoy a lighthearted adventure story. ReviewTheBook
