Too Much Stuff
Now Available!

Too Much Stuff It took Henry Flagler years to build a railroad to Key West. It took thirty seconds for a hurricane and a twenty-foot tidal wave to destroy it. Five hundred people were killed in that violent 1935 storm, and many more were missing. Among the unaccounted for was a finance director for the East Coast Railway, Mathew Kriegel, who had loaded one and a quarter million dollars in gold on a train that very morning. The man and the gold were never found.

Newly minted private investigators James Lessor and Skip Moore have just been hired by Kriegel's great-granddaughter to help her search for the lost gold. And she many or may not have the map that leads to the treasure.

Fighting off competitors, scuba diving, digging in a spooky cemetery, and almost getting killed in the proccess is just part of their job. Come along for the ride, but watch your back. It's a very dangerous mission, and don't count on James and Skip for help. They can barely take care of themselves.

Praise

"Call them fun-loving slackers, but partners Skip and James aren't suffering from any quarter-life crisis. Their fifth case (after Don't Sweat the Small Stuff) brings the bumbling duo back for a treasure hunt caper in the Florida Keys....Inspired by Les Standiford's 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 James's specialty), and something along the lines of Dave Barry."
   —Library Journal

"The Treasure of the Sierra Madre channeled through Elmore Leonard... Readers will appreciate this breezy beach read for all seasons."
   —Publishers Weekly

"Don Bruns keeps on getting better and better with each book. And his latest effort is nothing short of a home run."
   —The Strand Magazine

"His characters are charming but zany and the action is nonstop. This is a delightful story filled with mysterious adventures that are probably not too far from being the norm for the Florida Keys. Not only will you get enjoyment from reading this story, but a good history lesson as well. This one is worth your time!"
   —Fresh Fiction (read the full review)

"Four pitchers of margaritas out of four!"
   —Les Standiford, author of Last Train To Paradise and New York Times bestseller Bringing Adam Home

"Hardy Boys for grownups. A fun blending of comedy, satire, wit and mystery."
   —Herald Tribune, Sarasota
