About this listen

Stephen Moorehouse, having just graduated from a very exclusive prep school, is very excited to be traveling to his uncle's mansion, perched high on an isolated Lake Superior shore, deep in the woods of northern Michigan. Stephen is hoping his famous uncle, known for directing spooky horror movies, will have many Hollywood starlets visiting his estate for the summer. Stephen's long train journey from New York City to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan takes a dangerous turn when it appears he is being followed by a mobster in a wrinkled suit. Once he arrives at his uncle's place, Stephen attempts to find out who may have followed him and why. His detective work is interrupted when a brutal murder takes place and he becomes the main suspect. Stephen needs the help of his uncle's beautiful assistant to help him understand a string of perplexing clues as they navigate the spooky corridors of his uncle's mansion and the dangerous trails weaving through the deep northern Michigan woods.

Steven, recently graduated, travels by train to stay with his Uncle Philip, sketch pad ready, and filled with the excitement of freedom. But sadness, too. His girlfriend had just dumped him to travel abroad with her new love. On the train he makes the acquaintance of a fellow traveller, Dominic, who is convinced that Steven is being followed. And he is right.

James Nelson writes in a deliciously detailed slow paced style which could annoy the action every second reader but rea!ly appeals to this one. Slow, but never dull, the book introduces us to the characters living at Cliffside Manor - more a mansion than a house - and it's estate of woods and beach front, built by Uncle Philip with the proceeds of his very successful Hollywood horror, some of the inhabitants of the small town close by, and to Pauli, who all his life had dreamed of becoming a made man. A delightful murder mystery thriller, well performed by narrator, Mathew Berry.

The Butterfly Conspiracy is a very enjoyable read, and recommended.

The serenity of the chateaux had been shattered.
