I recently read this book, having heard about it repeatedly in many different circles. I found it to be fascinating; it was multilayered and unique.

Obviously the past two reviewers who have given Murder at the Butt a one rating have not taken the time to examen the brilliance of the work.

This is a good one, a page turner and a must read!

From the title, I expected the book to be full of folly and sexual content; however, I was suprised at the textual content and intergral plot developments.
