Description Murphy Murphy and the Case of Serious Crisis by Keith Hirshland

Murphy Murphy comes from a long line of male Murphys. All were named Murphy and all were cops. This Murphy heads the Department of Redundancy Department and his superior officer, Captain David “Dud” Hill has found him a case. The Captain’s niece is in a rock ‘n roll band called Serious Crisis, and it seems items belonging to members of the band have started to disappear. Were these items stolen? Were they simply lost? As Murphy Murphy works the case, he must chase down the clues all the while dealing with grammatical anomalies that drive him crazy. As Murphy gets closer to the answers he seeks, one more “thing” goes missing; the Captain’s niece. Suddenly, in an instant, the stakes in the case of Serious Crisis become a lot more dire. Part Jasper Fforde, part Michael Connelly; Murphy Murphy and the Case of Serious Crisis combines humor, mystery, and grammar goofs as the detective pursues clues and suspects from coast to coast. It’s an entertaining and educational read for all ages.

Praise for Keith Hirshland

“I really enjoyed following along with each person as you discovery more about each one along with how four unsolved mysteries may be linked to everything..’Big Flies’ story takes off like a flash.. This is a great adventure and one that I recommend you check out. You will not be disappointed.”-JBrownder Book Reviews
“ I found myself intrigued by this talented writer’s style.. A mystery woven into another mystery. The suspense was great. I enjoyed following the characters throughout the book.. this novel was realistic, stunning, and one that all readers can easily connect to in one or more ways. Brilliant, clever, and mysterious. Keith Hirshland has a way that lured me in deep. I couldn’t stop reading it.”-Urban Book Reviews
“This is an engaging story well told. The plot hinges on the power of secrets and secrets revealed but Keith fully understands the heart of the story is the unfolding of relationships fulfilled or not. Can we ever really know who we know? While this novel works beautifully as a nostalgic and fun caper tale it’s all wrapped up in fathers and sons, true and lasting friends and of course intriguing women. Keith is aiming high here. Really, really well done.”- David R. Hill, Amazon Reviewer
“I had to dig my teeth in the first pages but once I did I was on a twisty turning ride. This one turned out to be worth the ride. A fast paced story with great characters. The plot had some twists making it entertaining. As the bodies begin piling up it's a race to solve the mystery. I enjoyed reading 'The Flower Girl Murder'. and look forward to reading more from this author. “-My Reading Journeys
“Author Keith Hirshland provides a multi-layered storyline that has enough mystery, suspense, drama, treachery, secrets, and intriguing twists and turns that keeps the reader guessing, while weaving an intricate and complicated web of what the motive of the murders could have been, and the spectrum of possible participants who could have been involved in committing them. And if that isn't enough to captivate the reader, the author adds a wonderful touch of humor and a bit of romance into the mix to keep them entertained.”-Jersey Girl Book Reviews

Murphy Murphy and the Case of Serious Crisis by Keith Hirshland

Guest Review by Sol A.

'Murphy Murphy and the Case of the Serious Crisis' is both a mystery and a comedy in equal doses. Those two things may not seem like they should go together, but Keith Hirshland applies them both expertly and the result is a great read that keeps you interested from start to finish. At the start of the book, Murphy Murphy already has a lot to think about. Coming from a long line of men with the double name, Murphy Murphy, he is a slightly neurotic detective who works for the Department of Redundancy Department within the police. Murphy's job is to find and eliminate redundancies and he loves his work—or, at least he's pretty sure he does. Besides the name, another traditional facet of the Murphy men is their propensity for taking jobs as detectives. It's practically a Murphy man's birthright to be a detective, but Murphy struggles with his boss, Captain David “Dud” Hill because of the man's constant teasing of him. Despite Dud's needling, when a new case comes in involving a band called Serious Crisis and some missing items, the Captain immediately gives the case to Murphy. Murphy must solve the case and watch out for his own life when things abruptly take a turn for the deadly. 

This was an absolutely excellent mystery with well fleshed-out characters and quirky atmosphere. 'Murphy Murphy' is easy to indulge in and a quick read for a rainy day, with appropriately high stakes and exciting romance. There were some really effective twists and turns in the plot of this book that I did not see coming, and I always appreciate that in a fun mystery. Hirshland is a strong writer and one that I can see myself reading more from. As a result, I think 'Murphy Murphy' is definitely worth recommending and I award it 5 stars across the board!
