When Buddhist butler Helen Thorpe is loaned out to help Cartier Hightower get her life in order, Helen finds herself working for a young woman entirely unbound by the fetters of good taste or sound judgment. One of Cartier’s fellow content creators has recently died in a strange accident. Soon after Helen arrives, another is killed in an equally bizarre way. Cartier begins to drag Helen around on the influencer circuit, where neither of them is particularly welcome.

Story
Cat Kinsella overcame a troubled childhood to become a detective constable. When she’s called to the scene of a murder, not far from the pub her estranged father still runs, she discovers that Alice Lapaine is dead. Cat and her team suspect Alice’s husband, until she receives a phone call that links the victim to Maryanne Doyle, a teenage girl who went missing in Ireland 18 years earlier. The call raises uneasy memories for Cat. Though she was only a child, Cat knew that her father wasn’t telling the truth when he denied knowing anything about Maryanne or her disappearance.

Publisher's Summary
Meet Helen Thorpe. She’s smart, preternaturally calm, deeply insightful and a freshly trained butler. On the day she is supposed to start her career as an unusually equanimous domestic professional serving one of the wealthiest families in the world, she is called back to a spiritual retreat where she used to work, the Yatra Institute, on one of British Columbia’s gulf islands. The owner of the lodge, Helen’s former employer Edna, has died while on a three-month silent self-retreat, leaving Helen instructions to settle her affairs.
But Edna’s will is more detailed than most, and getting things in order means Helen must run the retreat for a select group to determine which of Edna’s relatives will inherit the institute. Helen’s classmates, newly minted butlers themselves, decide they can’t let her go it alone and arrive to help Helen pull things off. After all, is there anything three butlers can’t handle? As Helen carries out the will’s instructions, she begins to think that someone had reason to want Edna dead. A reluctantly suspicious investigator, Helen and her band of butlers find themselves caught up in the mystery.

Masterful
I believe that one of the tenets of the teachings of Buddhism these past few millennia has been that it is not really possible to teach someone to understand Buddhism, that one can only really get it by experiencing enlightenment, and then recognizing it for what it is... I now believe that Susan Juby has just done this impossible thing, disguised as a murder mystery, while she just happened to be writing yet another one of her most entertaining, captivating and insightful stories, wonderfully and undeniably set in the wet coast of BC.

Can't get past the dreadful narration
I'm trying to listen to the entire book in order to give the author a chance, especially as she lives not far from me and the book is set a fictitious Island off Vancouver Island, not unlike some of the small Islands around here. Unfortunately, the book includes characters from England, Ireland and Scotland, accents which are way beyond the capacity of the narrator. Her dreadful attempts are so cringeworthy, its impossible for me to follow the plot. I come from Britain originally and could easily have done a much better job at narration. Surely there must have been an audition? Even when she is simply narrating descriptive material, her cadences are annoying. Sentences are clipped and her voice goes down at the end of all of them, sounding like a bad elementary school teacher reading to the class. Other than that, the protagonist seems robotic and the story seems to lack substance and direction. It isn't funny, insightful, thrilling or mysterious.....just dull and annoying.
