‘The Brotherhood Of Butlers: Poison,’ is book 3 in the series.



After the tragic death of the previous butler, William Tinyport has been assigned as the new butler to Mr Dumont at Dumont Hall. This assassin does not expect to fail in his attempt to assassinate his client.

So far, every butler that’s been sent to Dumont Hall has become a victim; even with ears to the ground The Brotherhood still can’t find the culprit.

With BOB assassins being assassinated, either, Mr Dumont is being protected by a guardian angel or the butlers are the intended targets, one way or another they’ll find out the truth!

DCI Reg Fielding and his team are up to their eyeballs with the increasing deaths of wealthy people, but again the culprit leaves no DNA or clues. Without any leads, they’ll just have to wait until the culprit makes a mistake!

Humphrey Dumont loves socialising with his lovies, his friends and is oblivious to what’s going on around him, even if he is the target, he always seems to dodge the bullet so to speak…he’s like a cat with nine lives!

A quirky mystery thriller and a humorous read!

Portman’s mission is to kill his client Mr Dumont. However, what should’ve been a simple task has become his worst nightmare…with five failed attempts under his belt he has to find another way to succeed, before The Brotherhood replace him!

DCI Reg Fielding and his team are investigating the increasing number of cases involving the death of a wealthy person. There are three things they all have in common, Wealth, Male and Butlers, they were all wealthy men that had butlers. However, without evidence, clues or witnesses it’s more than likely that these cases will end up as cold cases too…

Humphrey Dumont enjoys socialising and going to events with his friends. However, of late most of the places he’s visited has ended up with some casualty; fortunately, Humphrey is oblivious to his surroundings and always miraculously evades injury of any kind…lucky or what?

When a professional butler begins work at Dumont Hall, he expects to finish his mission within weeks before moving onto his next client. However, an ‘assassin’s skill is an easy kill’ so they say; unless your next client or should I say victim happens to be Humphrey Dumont who has a knack for evading serious accidents!
