This is a fun, easy reading book that you will not want to put down. It is very entertaining, clever and well written.

This book is FUN and very funny! As with the previous 'De Ratour Mysteries', I LOVE Alcorn's layered wit, biting satire and wicked humor. Merrily reading along one encounters laugh-out-loud quips and names like "Phyllis Stein" Bwahaahahaa- this guy knows how to deliver a comedic sucker punch. What Carl Hiaasen is to Florida, Alfred Alcorn is to academia. Brazen, bizarre, BRAVO!

The most entertaining and third in a series (to be continued), The Counterfeit Murder in the Museum of Man is a delicious escape into a world of wit, odd personalities with even odder names, the English language as you've never heard it before, and Alphus! Don't miss this book!

What a delightful, fun, and intelligently written book. I could picture everything. Couldn't put it down.

What a fun and entertaining book. I love Alphus. I hope we see more of him in the next book.

What a romp! If you haven't already met Norman DeRatour, treat yourself to this juicy, funny mystery series.
I couldn't stop laughing and/or worrying when here in "Counterfeit," Norman is threatened by seedy thugs, miserable rich people, and worst of all- academic bureaucrats.

Norman's new housemate, a fluent Chimpanzee named Alphus, is one of the most captivating, endearing characters I've come across in a long time. I'm ordering 7 more of these delicious reads right now to hand out to friends.
