THE COASTER

This audiobook is very funny, and narrator Johnny Heller is about perfect. Bob Patterson is doing nothing taxing professionally; he enjoys his kids and the wealth earned by his wife and father-in-law. Then dad-in-law dies, and Bob finds himself the trustee of the estate. Along come some bad guys, a long night of drinking, extortion, and a couple of murders. The story, told from Bob's point of view, is sprinkled with witty observations and much humor. Heller provides just the right tone. The plot stretches credibility to the breaking point at times. Heller plays it lightly enough to let us know we're in on the joke.
