I bought this book to have as a ”train read” during my commute to and from Chicago.The story is told to us in first person by Alfie.  Deciding to intervene when a woman is fending off an unwanted suitor at a bar ends with Alfie waking in a hospital after getting beat up.The story unfolds as Alfie is in the hospital and then as he is released to go home.  We meet an assortment of characters including his bossy ex-wife Gloria.The story continues as Alfie with the help of other characters tries to determine who beat him up and why.The story progresses along and we meet a variety of other characters.We end still in a mystery but I enjoyed this book.The author gives us a tongue in cheek look inside the life of an ordinary guy.
