Highly enjoyable and very funny. Huntingdon "Hunny" Van Horn and his family are a fun, if crude, bunch to encounter. Hunny and his honey, Art, are a fun loving and living couple who win a billion dollars in a lottery drawing and immediately become beset by people, problems, old grudges and blackmail coming out of the woodwork. Desperate for help, Hunny calls on Donald Stratchey for help with the attempts at blackmail and the action just gets more outrageous, and funny, from there.

I was particularly amused by the thinly disguised 'Bill O'Malley' and 'Focks News'. Stevenson got the snide-ness, baiting, mocking, "moral" outrage and you-name-it down to a "t". ( )

Well, this wash´t one of the good books from the Donald Strachey series, just a over the top story about a queer (very out and aloud) couple that won a huge price and is suddenly confronted with mean and frustrated people who want their share of the money.... Rather disappointing. ( )
