From Booklist
Brookins can't keep himself from overdoing it. Take the name of his protagonist: "Sean NMI Sean," with NMI standing for "no middle initial." Brookins tries so hard to be clever that readers may be exhausted trying to keep up. Those who bear with him, however, will discover a gem of a tale hiding underneath all the silliness--and will fall head over heels for the diminutive Sean Sean, a Minneapolis PI whose small size belies a huge heart. Sean is puzzled by an attractive female visitor who says a local lawyer--with whom he's had plenty of run-ins--recommended him to her. Before they can meet again, she is found murdered. Meanwhile, Sean Sean tries to get a romance going with masseuse Catherine, and his failures make him all the more endearing. Here's hoping that in future stories, Brookins will take a deep breath, stop trying so darn hard, and leave Sean to tell his own tale.
