With a deft blending of wit and suspense, Ron Goulart weaves another criminous tapestry filled with action and entertainment in this sequel to his popular Even the Butler Was Poor. H. J. Mavity still wants to get rich quick; her ex-husband, Ben Spanner, still wants to keep her out of trouble; and her chief client, Lloyd Dobkin, thinks someone is trying to kill him. He's right - H.J.'s in trouble, and Ben has his hands full as Dobkin's murderer decides that the lovely artist knows the secret of the girl with the butterfly on her, ahem....

From the time Dobkin dies in H.J.'s arm until the secrets of several families are revealed, Goulart keeps the pace unflagging and the entertainment high. Indeed, the only thing missing might be a dog named Asta.

Ron Goulart lives in Ridgfield, Connecticut. This is the second mystery in the series featuring H. J. Mavity and Ben Spanner.

Ron Goulart is one my five favorites authors. I've read this book several times in the past. Hearing it narrated was a terribly disappointing experience. Goulart writes quick-paced dialog. Waiting for the narrator to e-n-u-n-c-i-a-t-e his way through the funny bits was painful. Also, as a former professional comedian, I say never take a gig that requires you to imitate someone imitating the voice of yet a third party. In writing, it's a great gag, but the level of mimicry required was beyond this narrator's vocal talents.

Never try to imitate somone doing imitations

The plot is good, she has a habit of finding dead bodies. He keeps conversations going with his many voice over talent as a comic. Good narration added, and brought the humor out, well done. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Good Humor
