Review Quotes:
"If not for David Handler, I wouldn't be a writer. He's one of my very favorites: a novelist whose champagne-fizzy mysteries--as winning as the madcap adventures of Carl Hiaasen, as hilarious as Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series--tickle the brain, heart, and funny bone in equal measure." - A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
"Hoagy and Lulu tickle your funnybone and touch your heart." - Carolyn Hart
"One of my all-time favorite series! ...David Handler is so good at writing one smart, funny page-turner after another that he makes it look easy." - Harlan Coben
"As usual, Hoagy's narration is the bright spot in a tangle of intrigue wilder than Noel Coward ever could have imagined." - Kirkus Reviews
"Fans of light period mysteries full of famous names will be enchanted." - Publishers Weekly
"If not for David Handler, I wouldn't be a writer. He's one of my very favorites: a novelist whose champagne-fizzy mysteries--as winning as the madcap adventures of Carl Hiaasen, as hilarious as Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series--tickle the brain, heart, and funny bone in equal measure. (Same goes for his ghostwriter-sleuth hero, Stewart Hoag: think Sherlock Holmes meets Castle.) Love stylish, deftly plotted whodunits? Read David Handler. Love warm, witty, snort-out-loud comedy? Read David Handler. Love basset hounds? You know what to do." - A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
"Hoagy is a thoroughly engaging amateur sleuth, as appealing to readers as he is enraging to the authorities, who can't abide his unconventional methods. This tenth installment in the series is pure pleasure."
