Marty Golden is ready to kick back at the beach. When his neighbor offers free rooms in Hawaii, the software engineer is quick to round up his girlfriend, sister, and nieces for the luau of a lifetime. But his arrival at the resort turns his sun-filled hopes into hunches about homicide after he encounters a very deceased and inconvenient body.
Pressured into helping, a grudging Marty uses his sharp attention to detail to hone in on a crucial clue missed by the police. But his half-hearted investigation spirals out of control with wild chases, burglaries, and secret passageways before the reluctant sleuth gets serious when he’s suddenly added to the target list.
Can Marty hula his way to the real culprit before he’s lei’d to rest?
Huh? Why? and Punch can be read standalone and is the humorous fifth book in the Silicon Valley cozy mystery series. If you like brilliant but bumbling heroes, crazy fun supporting casts, and daring escapades, then you’ll love this laugh-out-loud whodunit.
Buy Huh? Why? and Punch today to dive into a unique taste of paradise!
Excerpt
Once the cops were out of
sight, I asked, “Doesn’t it seem suspicious to you?”
“Huh? Why?”
“And,” I finished, and
smirked.
“What?” Meghan’s eyebrows
squashed together in confusion as she stared at me.
“Get it? ‘Huh, Why, And.’ It
sounds like Hawaiian.” I laughed at the play on words.
Meghan grimaced and pointed
me into the elevator. “It’s way too late for that nonsense.”
I ignored her criticism. Good
humor didn’t follow a clock.
“Nah.” I shook my head. “I’ve
got a feeling about it.”
“What kind of feeling?”
Meghan shot me a bemused glance.
“I’m feeling like it’s a good
thing Marty Golden, super sleuth, is on the job.”
“Nobody’s ever called you
that.” She leaned her head back and squinted skeptically at me.
“You could start.” I implored
her with my best puppy-dog eyes.
“No.” She shook her head
decisively. “Not going to happen.”
About the Author
Marc Jedel writes humorous murder mysteries. He credits his years of marketing leadership positions in Silicon Valley for honing his writing skills and sense of humor. While his high-tech marketing roles involved crafting plenty of fiction, these were just called emails, ads, and marketing collateral.For most of Marc’s life, he’s been inventing stories. As he’s gotten older, he’s encountered more funny and odd people and situations. This has made it even easier for him to write what he knows and make up the rest. It’s a skill that’s served him well, both as an author and marketer.
The publication of Marc’s first novel, UNCLE AND ANTS, gave him permission to claim “author” as his job. This leads to much more interesting conversations than answering, “marketing.”
Like his character, Marty from the Silicon Valley Mystery series, Marc now lives in Silicon Valley, works in high-tech, and enjoys bad puns. Like his characters Jonas and Elizabeth from the Ozarks Lake Mystery series, Marc grew up in the South and spent plenty of time in and around Arkansas.
Along with all his protagonists, Marc too has a dog, although his is neurotic, sweet, and small, with little appreciation for Marc’s humor.
