Book Reviews of Man Who Cancelled Himself, The
Book Review: Above average mystery, but getting old
Summary: 4 Stars
I would recommend this book to first time Handler readers and followers of the series. But a note to those reading the novels in order: while the stock phrases and jokes that crop up in not only every book and but then in every other chapter are endearing, they are losing their appeal.
The set-up is very much like the previous books, (Hoagy's ghosting for a nut that only Hoagy can control, beautiful women throw themselves at Hoagy, Hoagy and Merilee fuss over Lulu, Hoagy eats and dresses well) and your anticipation may be more about the latest in the Hoagy/Merilee relationship than the murderer's identity.
There are 2 more in this series after this one. Handler isn't updating this series anymore, and that's okay. I love Hoagy, but I also love the new team, Mitry and Berger. Handler was right to begin a new series; it's fresh, and so are the jokes!
