When his sister is injured in a freak accident, Marty takes on the care of his young nieces and an amateur investigation of the accident. While Marty is an interesting character he is also almost a stereotype of the geeky, awkward computer type, socially inept and at times clueless. He is a bumbler with his nieces and the investigation, almost lucking into progress. I soon lost interest in the investigation and the outcome although I found the relationship between Marty and his nieces endearing. I will not be reading the next entry in the series.

Mysterious attacks. Mischievous nieces. Can a clueless uncle catch a tech-savvy killer ... and be home before bedtime? When a freak accident hospitalizes Marty Golden's sister and condemns him to babysitter duty, he thinks it's just another case of hardwired bad luck in Silicon Valley. Until a suspicious murder suggests the mishap was no mere coincidence. Something must be done. Too bad this quirky, fashion-backward uncle isn't exactly hero material. Convinced his sister is in mortal danger, this amateur sleuth follows clues to an oddball array of suspects. Armed with nothing but an eye for detail and powers of self-delusion, Marty tangles with gangsters, a cantankerous school secretary, and a perplexing woman he can't help but fall for. Glitches in his investigation seem like a piece of cake compared to dinner-prep and bedtime stories with his two precocious, pre-teen nieces. Can Marty catch the culprit, save his sister, and get his life back in order before he gets unplugged? Uncle and Ants is the first novel in a refreshingly modern mystery series set in Silicon Valley. If you like clever humor, sassy side characters, and average Joes facing extraordinary circumstances, then you'll love this twisty mystery.

I laughed out loud when reading this. Marty is no detective. He's barely surviving being an uncle. His theories are far-fetched but he's loyal to them. I liked his nieces. Skye is very much into her science fair project of crazy ants. She finds others who are just as taken with them.
Like Marty I was no detective. I needed it spelled out at the end. This is a fun book. I especially liked that this is told from a man's point-of-view. Suspend belief and have a good time reading it. I look forward to the other books in this series. (
