What Amazing Words! Great Read!

Owen Hebbert brings back a point of view that has been missing since Downton Abbey aired its final episode. Mr. Lancaster is quite a wonderful character and provides the Peterkins with a firm foundation. In fact, he provides the reader with the same calm stability one expects from a butler when things go south.
The other characters in the story are familiar to those who spend any time on social media, and Hebbert captures all of their quirks and foibles. Mr. Hoffman has a small role, but significant comedic impact, as well.
The framework of this fun, well-written, well-developed story is the element that I was most pleased with: the language. The words make a book, of course. But good words, chosen carefully, and used perfectly make a better book.
Hebbert did not disappoint me in his expertly used perlocution. I could drift to lofty heights of satisfaction simply enjoying the words before letting them sink in as a whole combining to move the story along. Which again made me happy I could follow along all the way to the end.
I look forward to Hebbert’s next work, be it the next in a Mr. Lancaster series, or just another opportunity to hear great, unique words used well. I applaud you, Mr. Hebbert.
