Dead friend. Free fall. Girl Scouts. Can Uncle Marty untangle the mystery before things really get out of control? Juggling a budding relationship, demanding job, and mischievous nieces, Marty Golden struggled to keep his head above water — even before his friend’s death. Trying his best to be a good boyfriend and fun uncle, Marty had his own ideas for the weekend until his cunning sister tricked him again. Convinced his friend’s death was no accident, Marty tries to summon superhero powers but merely manages to bumble along as an amateur sleuth. When Marty’s cousin shows up, she wreaks havoc with his plans and pulls him into yet another mystery. As threats blossom, Marty doubles down now that his family’s involved. Besides, it’s poor manners to let your friend’s death go unsolved. Can Marty figure out what happened before a killer, or his imagination, gets to him? If you like clever humor and wacky side characters, you’ll love this twisty mystery. Chutes and Ladder, the second novel in a refreshingly modern mystery series set in Silicon Valley, can be read standalone without reading Uncle and Ants (Book 1) first.
