About the Book

This bestselling sequel to the award-winning April Fool is a fastpaced, laugh-out-loud story of madness, murder, and mayhem. Is someone systematically killing the judges of the B.C. bar? At least one has been murdered and several have disappeared. Arthur Beauchamp returns from retirement once again to take on the case, this time defending his former nemesis, backwoods poet Cudworth Brown, and tracking down a mystery novel that Brown s demented former lawyer has been writing all this just as his own wife, Margaret, has announced her candidacy for the Green Party in a forthcoming federal by-election. Complex, madcap, and peopled with some of the most delightfully eccentric characters to be found between two covers, Kill All the Judges more than proves William Deverell s mastery of the hilarious crime novel. From the Hardcover edition."

Praise for William Deverell "Deverell is one of Canada's best and funniest mystery writers." -- "Ottawa Citizen" "April Fool thrusts itself brashly into the reader's psyche like a lumber-jacketed logger at a black-tie affair. Ruggedly individualistic, demanding and determined, its characters are shrewdly etched and realistically rendered." -- "Globe and Mail" "The dialogue crackles, the style is sharp and compelling, and it's a treat to spend another book with Beauchamp." -- "Vancouver Sun" "He is a master storyteller with a wonderful sense of humour. The story flows effortlessly, and readers are twigs on the river, along for one hell of a ride." -- "Quill & Quire" "From the Hardcover edition."
