Book description
A Donald Strachey Mystery, Book 3 - Shocked to discover the body of the grandson of the godfather of Albany's political machine in his car, P.I. Donald Strachey knows he is in for trouble. But when he learns that the murder victim left a $2.5 million legacy with instructions that it be used to destroy that machine, along with a personal letter to Strachey asking for his help, his suspicions are confirmed. Faced with power-brokers at all levels, Albany's only gay P.I. tries to fulfill the dead man's mission-with his own survival at stake.Written over a period of three decades, the Donald Strachey series authentically chronicles gay life as it unfolded in upstate New York. An author's note is included."As a mystery novel this is thoroughly satisfactory. Mr. Stevenson plots well, makes sharp observations about people, and has a literate, sophisticated writing style that is often spiked with humor." - New York Times Book Review"An entirely unpredictable, witty, and raunchy adventure." - Publishers Weekly"Stevenson is also a good writer of fine wit, and his asides are as good as his story." - Philadelphia Gay News"Sassy and sexy ... Don Strachey is a private dick who really earns his title." - Armistead Maupin

ListenBook has completely changed how I enjoy audiobooks. The app is packed with features like customizable skip intervals, playback speed, and sleep timers.

It served its purpose as entertainment during my commute. Good but not great. The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though.
