Heart beats or beat the hearts
I enjoyed this book. It took a while for the mystery side to show its self but there was a reason for the slow humours start and nobody can tell a tale quite like Walt Williams about hospital gowns or exams, well maybe Robert Thornhill. I liked the little cameo role for the author to play a role in Walt's adventures as himself, make sure you look out for it. Despite being laid up in bed after a serious operation Walt manages to solve a number of cases in his usual fun and haphazard style.
A retinue exam for kidney stones turns into something a lot more serious for Walt Williams when his heart shows signs of being in trouble. While in hospital recovering from the operation a number of patients die unexpectedly and a nurse worried about what is happening approaches Walt for help because not all of the deaths can be natural causes. With the help of his aging team he gets the the bottom of the mystery but in solving the case it triggers another case that needs to be solved and quickly as someone is killing patients that need new hearts. While at the hospital under cover a new twist and a case falls into Walt's lap that evolves him hunting down terrorist.
George Kuch does another excellent job as Walt Williams and the gang. He uses very distinctive voices for each character, making it easy to follow and enjoy.

No such thing as dignity...
Another glorious romp with author Robert Thornhill's elderly detective, as usual interpreted to perfection by his alter ego narrator, George Kuch.
Walt is now 71, has left the police force of Kansas City and opened his P.I.business with Maggie's brother, Kevin, and was on a job when pain struck. A kidney stone or two which had to be removed. But pre-operation investigation determined his heart was also in need of attention and he was booked in for open heart surgery.
This book covers not only the outcome of his post operative stay in hospital, but also reflects on a number of cases in which he and his various friends and family had been previously involved - so this is a good starting place for any reader who is new to this terrific series, funny, contemplative and filled with a host of colourful characters as well as great story line. Narrator George Kuch is the story teller, recounting Walt's thoughts and experiences intimately, just to the listener: a fine perfomance, as always. And Walt is Walt, somehow still managing to be at the heart of criminal activity even in the hospital. And deliciously, he meets an author, one Robert Thornhill.
I have to confess, I love this series. If you haven't already done so, try it, read it, see what you think.
