The Butterfly Conspiracy

By: James R. Nelson

Narrated by: Matthew Berry

Stephen Moorehouse, having just graduated from a very exclusive prep school, is very excited to be traveling to his uncle's mansion, perched high on an isolated Lake Superior shore, deep in the woods of northern Michigan. Stephen is hoping his famous uncle, known for directing spooky horror movies, will have many Hollywood starlets visiting his estate for the summer. Stephen's long train journey from New York City to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan takes a dangerous turn when it appears he is being followed by a mobster in a wrinkled suit. Once he arrives at his uncle's place, Stephen attempts to find out who may have followed him and why. His detective work is interrupted when a brutal murder takes place and he becomes the main suspect. Stephen needs the help of his uncle's beautiful assistant to help him understand a string of perplexing clues as they navigate the spooky corridors of his uncle's mansion and the dangerous trails weaving through the deep northern Michigan woods.

The Butterfly Conspiracy

This was a pretty good book.It is 1975.A high school graduate is taking a train to visit his uncle,a horror movie producer.Why is he being followed? Matthew Berry was a mediocre to good narrator.His voices were very good.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'

A mystery like Clue

I enjoyed the narration and story. I think the title could have been something else. The main story evolved into another story which was kind of like Clue. I guessed the killer incorrectly. It was a good mystery. The narrator did a great job on all the characters.

Mystery in beautifully described scenes

Stephen Moorehouse travels to Michigan to spend the summer with his uncle, but someone is following him. While there, he is suspected of a murder and must work with his uncle, and his uncle's assistant to unravel the murder mystery as well as why he is being followed.

Firstly, i absolutely love the title. It drew me in straight away! Second, the way that the story is built up and slowly unraveled makes you desperate to hear more. Thirdly, the scenes described were mesmerising, i felt like i was actually there! All of this is on top of the murder mystery element, what an awesome package!

Matt narrated superbly, his tonality and variations for the characters were amazing.

Overall, an intriguing and beautiful whodunnit that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Note: This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this objective review voluntarily.

Good Read

The Butterfly Conspiracy was a good read by James R. Nelson. Stephen Morehouse is excited to spend the summer at his uncle's estate. He quickly is alarmed when a mobster tails him from New York City to the wilderness of Michigan. At the estate, Cliffside Manor, a brutal murder is pointing towards Stephen as a suspect. Stephen and his Uncle's assistant, Jeanette, must solve the murder. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more by the author.
