Huckleberry Fiend (Paul Mcdonald Mystery #2) (The Paul Mcdonald Series)

â€œA deftly plotted mysteryâ€¦a delightful book.â€â€”San Antonio Express News
â€œA literary rompâ€¦a bright, light, cleverly written tale.â€ â€”Cincinnati Post
A RISIBLE TREAT FOR THE RIGOROUS BIBLIOPHILE
(AND ANYONE ELSE WHO LOVES A GOOD PUZZLE) â€¦
The most priceless American manuscript in existence has unceremoniously dropped into Paul Mcdonald's hands--now what?

In between much-needed therapy sessions, Paul's neurotic friend Booker the burglar stole it from his dadâ€™s girl friendâ€™s roommate, and now wants sometime-sleuth Paul to find its rightful owner. Because heâ€™s pretty sure the roommate's not it.

Paul is so awed he can hardly bring himself to touch it. Itâ€™s none other than the missing holograph of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. And Beverly the roommate's no librarian, sheâ€™s a flight attendant, so Booker suspects chicanery. Heâ€™s only too right: Beverly, it turns out, is dead. Murdered for the manuscript, if Paulâ€™s guess is right.

He finds out itâ€™s in high demand from a zany collection of collectors, Huckleberry Fiends of all stripes of crazy, every single one of them capable of murder. Suddenly heâ€™s the protagonist of A Literary Nightmare, surrounded by Mysterious Strangers, playing out A Double-Barrelled Detective Story involving A Stolen White Elephant and pretty much Roughing It with the bullying Homicide Inspector Howard Blick.

Itâ€™s truly, A Murder, a Mystery, and a Marriageâ€¦.no, not a marriage, a manuscript! But Paul does have his eye on tough and savvy Sardis Kincannonâ€¦

The liberally-sprinkled Mark Twain quotes and references make this witty yarn a treat for the literary-minded, and better yet, the twisty plot will satisfy the pickiest mystery fiend.

Fans of mysteries about books will especially like it--Lawrence Block's Bernie Rhodenbarr series, John Dunning's Cliff Janeway books, the Death on Demand books by Carloyn Hart, and Joan Hess's Claire Malloy series.
