About this listen

Arlo Fenn is a detective. Technically. He’s got a badge (somewhere), a notebook (full of meat-related observations), and a holster that refuses to stay where it’s supposed to. Most people forget Arlo exists moments after speaking to him. The rest remember him only as a man who once arrested a coat rack for loitering.

So when a widow calls about her husband’s missing body, Arlo does what any slightly offbeat officer would do: he investigates. And eats lunch. A lot of lunch.

Soon Arlo finds himself visiting a morgue that seems far too eager to explain things, and a restaurant next door that serves meals far too delicious to question. The deeper he digs, the stranger things get but not necessarily clearer.

Because Arlo Fenn doesn't uncover conspiracies. He drifts gently into them with a smile and a side of fries.

Criminally Tender is a darkly comic detective mystery for fans of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Dirk Gently, and Aunty Donna. Packed with deadpan dialogue, wrong turns, and disturbingly good food, it’s the first book in a deliciously absurd series.

Justice is served. But maybe not vegetarian.
