HUSH MONEY

Self-made lawyer Jack MacTaggart has little in common with the horsey set of Pasadena. But when a wealthy client needs help collecting insurance money for her dead show horse, MacTaggart is only too happy to investigate. Of course, he finds more than he and his client ever bargained for, especially when people start dying as well. Narrator Dan Butler brings the wisecracking MacTaggart to life with excellent timing and an audible smirk. His easygoing manner makes him easy to dismiss, but Butler's delivery makes it clear that would be a mistake. Butler's pleasant voice puts listeners at ease in the unfamiliar world of show horses and the wealthy people who own them.
