THE BUTTERFLY MAN by Heather Rose, read by Humphrey Bower



This novel explores the true story of Lord Lucan, the British peer who vanished in 1974 after the murder of his children's nanny. So adept is Humphrey Bower at creating individual characterizations that this bravura one-man performance masquerades as a fine full-cast recording. Part love story, part morality play, this is altogether fascinating.
