Fran tells this story of what happens when she teams up with her brother Ken to find the bio-family of their new client Austin, who believes he might have been placed for adoption because he is neurodivergent. This is an unusual sort of novel-it blends the cozy with a bit of sci fi (Fran and Ken's back story) and a dollop of the paranormal. What it also has is a hoot of a narrator and a good heart. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A good read.

In this well-written and visually descriptive narrative, the author set the stage for an intriguing and suspenseful tale that I could not put down until all the facts were uncovered. The mystery was executed with flair making it easy to follow along with what the author intended. Fran and Ken were at their best as they tried to figure out who was doing what to whom and why the secrecy. Danger lurked in their path as they got closer to discovering had transpired years ago. The witty quips and engaging dialogue added to some amusing moments. Overall, an excellent and enjoyable read. This is the best book in the series and sad to know this will be their last case.

Fran and Ken Stein, brother and sister, help adopted children find their birth parents. I love the backstory on this duo. And their names! Get set for a fun quirky read. You'll laugh out loud as you try to guess whodunit! Thanks #Netgalley and #SevernHouse for the eARC in exchange for a honest review. All opinions are mine.

Fran and Ken Stien are siblings whose parents "manufactured" them. After creating them, their parents left them for parts unknown. Now in their 30's, they work as private investigators specializing in finding biological parents for children who are adopted.

Austin Cobb comes to them and wants to hire them to find his biological parents. Fran goes to the adoption agency and finds the adoption file to be super sealed. No one will divulge the information in the file. The more she pokes and prods to get the information the more dangerous it becomes. But no fear there, because she and her brother have extraordinary strength that gets them out of all kinds of messes.

Interesting concept and interesting characters. Finding birth parents becomes difficult and dangerous for our sibling private investigators.

Fran and Ken Stein (clever, right?) are a dynamic brother-sister duo working as private investigators, specializing in helping adopted children find their birth parents. Their latest case brings them to Austin Cobb, a medical researcher on the autism spectrum, who has been haunted by the question of why his birth parents chose adoption. Eager to find answers, Austin hires Fran to investigate, only for her to uncover more questions than answers. But, Fran and Ken aren't your average investigators (but I’ll let them tell you about that).

When I first received my DRC, I wasn’t aware that this was part of a series, so please take my review with a grain of salt as I’m sure there’s a lot of important backstory I missed.

The story definitely grabbed my attention in the beginning. I found Fran’s witty side comments amusing and was intrigued by the mystery unfolding. However, by the end, I found the side remarks to be a bit exhausting, and I struggled to connect with Fran—or any of the characters, for that matter. While I’m sure this book will appeal to many readers, it wasn’t quite for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and Severn House for the review copy!

Easy to read and kept my interest.

#Switcheroo #NetGalley is the third book in this series, featuring Fran and Ken, private investigators and siblings.
Fran is helping a client locate his birth parents, which should be a typical case for her.
As Fran investigates, she runs into obstacles and things just aren't adding up.
While I enjoyed the story, I found this to be less cozy mystery and more sci-fi than anything else.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.
