More please!!!

I have been a huge fan of David Handler since I read the first "Hoagy" novel. This latest installment is excellent! Witty, sharp, and leaves you guessing till the end.

Stewart Hoag mysteries get better every time out

As one who has read all the Stewart Hoag mysteries by David Handler I feel qualified in saying each one is better than the last! Not only are the books getting thicker, they are getting more rewarding and entertaining. The characters, plots, dialog, humour and Handler's voice improve with age. In this outing, an old Ivy League classmate of Hoag's is accused of murdering women. The suspect clearly fits the bill given his violent and abusive past . . . and present! Though 'King Tut' Tuttle is suspected even by his good friend Hoag of committng these murders, 'Hoagy' owes it to himself, Tuttle and their faded friendship to investigate as only he can. The story is filled with great characters, moments of suspense and enough likely suspects and red herrings to keep the reader entertained and guessing throughout. Readers familiar with this series will be happy to know Lulu, Merilee Nash and even Hoag's beloved vintage Jaguar continue their usual prominent roles.

Thrilling and excellent

David Handler continues to amaze me with his wonderfully witty works of the adventures of "Hoagy". His books are always thrilling, exciting, and leave you guessing until the end. "The Man Who Loved Women to Death" is no exception.

Handler is fabulous. Can't get enough of Hoagy and Lulu.

I just recently discovered David Handler with "The Girl Who Ran Off with Daddy" and was thrilled to finally find "Loved Women to Death." My only complaint is that it's so hard to find his books (i.e. out of print, etc.). I highly recommend him for anyone with a sense of humor who also loves mystery. He's as clever a writer as I have read.

Handler does it again!

Handler does it again! I bought the book and I can't sleep! Why? Because my wife is up all night reading it and laughing out loud
