SEPTEMBER 2019 - AudioFile
Peter Berkrot narrates the latest addition to the Stewart Hoag series, capturing all its wit, wisecracks, and warmth. Hoagy, a celebrity ghostwriter, hasn’t written anything in ages, but he may finally have a handle on his second novel. Sylvia James, a much-despised editorial executive, wants him to investigate a client’s missing manuscript. The client is Sylvia’s aging father, who may or may not have written the work himself. Hoagy, along with Lulu, his short-legged, often-smelly basset hound, find themselves up to their eyeballs in literary mischief, mayhem, and murder. Berkrot is spot-on delivering the complexities of Hoag's and Lulu’s lives, and his expertise with individual voices for the diverse characters guarantees even listeners new to the series a most enjoyable experience.
