Description
*A finalist for the Edgar Award for Best First Novel*
*A finalist for the Shamus Award for Best First P.I. Novel*
From the cocreator of Deadpool comes a highly entertaining debut featuring two unlikely and unforgettable amateur sleuths. An engrossing murder mystery full of skewering social commentary, Suburban Dicks examines the racial tensions exposed in a New Jersey suburb after the murder of a gas station attendant.
Andie Stern thought she'd solved her final homicide. Once a budding FBI profiler, she gave up her career to raise her four (soon to be five) children in West Windsor, New Jersey. But one day, between soccer games, recitals, and trips to the local pool, a very pregnant Andie pulls into a gas station—and stumbles across a murder scene. An attendant has been killed, and the local cops are in over their heads. Suddenly, Andie is obsessed with the case, and back on the trail of a killer, this time with kids in tow.
She soon crosses paths with disgraced local journalist Kenneth Lee, who also has everything to prove in solving the case. A string of unusual occurrences—and, eventually, body parts—surface around town, and Andie and Kenneth uncover simmering racial tensions and a decades-old conspiracy. Hilarious, insightful, and a killer whodunit, Suburban Dicks is the one-of-a-kind mystery that readers will not be able to stop talking about.

Starred review from April 12, 2021
The murder of a gas station attendant in West Windsor, N.J., propels this outstanding debut novel from Nicieza, the cocreator of the comic book superhero Deadpool. Andrea Stern—mother of four with a fifth on the way—stumbles across the victim while looking for a bathroom for her kids. The perpetually exhausted Andrea, who gave up her dreams of becoming an FBI profiler when she first became pregnant, decides to investigate and, after finding glaring inconsistencies in the sloppy police work, vows to track down the killer. Meanwhile, disgraced investigative reporter Kenneth Lee is attempting to resurrect his career with a story that uncovers the criminal behind the first murder in the West Windsor–Plainsboro area in more than 30 years. Together Andrea and Kenneth uncover a grand-scale conspiracy driven by racism and institutional bigotry that has lasted generations and continues to plague the township. Nicieza delivers a wildly entertaining blend of high-octane snark and brass-knuckle social commentary, but it’s the courageous Andrea and her group of soccer moms, whom she privately dubs the Cellulitists, who steal the show. Mystery fans looking for something different won’t want to miss this quirky crime novel. Agent: Albert Lee, United Talent Agency.

- content: Narrator Natalie Naudus unites a disparate community connected by small-town secrets, fading dreams, and racial divides in this mystery by Fabian Nicieza, co-creator of DEADPOOL. When an Indian gas station attendant is murdered in their New Jersey suburb, former criminal profiler and local mother Andie Stern and journalist Kenny Lee combine resources to investigate. They incite the ire of local law enforcement, particularly the sheriff, whose arrogant tone brooks no interference. Naudus deftly varies Indian accents for the residents interviewed. Empathetically drawn portrayals reflect the balance between the duo's genuine desire to solve the crime and their self-serving motivations. Naudus's vocal versatility and ear for dialogue are well matched to Nicieza's blend of snarky humor, suburban drama, and issues-oriented storytelling. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
