For five grand a month and a million dollar chaser, Roger Mulligan didn't care how crazy the old geezer is. All he had to do was keep Joseph Perry Shackleford alive and keep him from squandering the estate for a year.

They didn't tell him about the pixies.

Delightful

5 stars

This story by @nlowell@zirk.us is simply delightful. I haven't finished a book so quickly in ages, and stayed up past my bedtime to get to the end. I found the story and pacing much like Roger finds his butler duties: satisfying and relaxing, like enjoying a hot cup of fresh coffee in the morning. The ending feels just right. Adding this book to my "cozy go-tos" list and I look forward to enjoying the story again and again. Additionally, Tom Taylorson does a fantastic job of performing the story, distinguishing the character voices expertly, and matching the pacing of the story itself.

Heavens. I had no idea that this sort of slice-of-life book, about effectively a manservant, could be so utterly captivating and ... moreish! It was like pringles! You just had to carry on!

I got an almost Mackey Chandler vibe at points and was sad to see it come to an end. Not my usual stuff, but actually very much enjoyed.
