Reader reviews for A Shock to the System: A Donald Strachey Mystery

From the publisher

Donald Strachey is asked to look into the death of Paul Haig by Haig's homophobic mother, ex-lover, and psychiatrist, but just as Strachey gets started, all three ask him to stop the investigation.

First line

The voice was a combination of Locust Valley lock-jaw and Marge Schott, by way of the Albany Gardening Club and the Mary Lou Whitney Lounge at the airport Americana.
