This was just fantastic. When I started to read I found myself not wanting to put it down. Looking forward to another adventure with Butler. Keep up the good work.

I finished reading Butler Did It! today and while I trly enjoyed it, I found it a bit hard to follow sometimes with the jumping around of the first name and then the last name usage - mostly of Butler. I am a major adventure fan and found it easy to read, fast paced and truly enjoyable. I am really looking forward to the next one! As I said, the only criticism I had was the name usage otherwise, a great first novel. Thanks so much

Fast moving, always something going on, lots of adventure. I sat on the porch on a rainy Saturday, relaxed and read "Butler did it". I couldn't put it down and now I wish there more books with Matthew Butler. I will keep watching for a new books from Keith and Sally. GREAT JOB you two on your first book.

"Butler Did It" has a guy and a girl, good guys, bad guys, a cool sidekick and a dog. Add action and adventure, spiced with gunrunners, an ancient artifact, and a hereditary king and you have the ingredients for a good story. The Pomeroys pull it off. Paraphrasing Mark Twain I noticed instances of the author using five dollar words when twenty-five cent ones would have sufficed. "Butler Did It" seems like a first or early novel for Keith and Sally Pomeroy. I hope there is a new Mathew Butler adventure in the works.

If you like action adventure stories, you will love this series. It is non-stop action from the get-go with each action scenario being completely different from the others, as well as being a total surprise. The story is such that you cannot predict what will happen next, except to be sure that somehow the baddies will get their due punishment in the end. Kudos to the authors for a superb start to what I hope will be a long and fruitful series. I am looking forward to the next Matthew Butler adventure.

It has been a long time since I sat down to a book of this quality. I can honestly say that once I picked this book to read it was one I could not put down. The story is so well written that you can actually see the places and people. I could see the ship and feel the way it moved. I will of course read it again because I was actually entertained. There was romance, adventure, excitement and just plain fun. Please, if you read one book this Summer take the time to read this you will not be sorry. Thank you to the authors for giving me a relaxing and totally enjoyable Sunday.

The co-writing team of Keith and Sally Pomeroy are off to a flying start, and so will be the reader. The action begins early and at times you'll want to warn the characters of the danger that they are in like you do during any great suspense movie. The exotic locales and the action are interspersed with comedy and romance that makes for a perfect summer read. Butler and his team of characters and misfits are comfortable, but not too familiar. Add in a coelcanth, arms dealings, high-tech hijinks, and treasure, and you have a book that grows on you until you forsake responsibility and just finish it. I liked the action setpieces, of which there are many and unpredictable ones, but the quiet moments are welcome, as well. The writing team has a lot of characters to juggle and keeps each one fresh, funny, and villainous. Butler seems like a guy you would want to be or want to know, and the way his world unfolds before Katherine makes you want to be her, too. The authors, in their introduction, sound like they are apologizing for the implausibility of the book, but nothing is so farfetched that characterization can't cure, and they have some protagonists that have plenty of life left in them. I look forward to the next adventure. This one has the best elements of The Deep, The Poseidon Adventure, Doc Savage, and Indiana Jones, but it is also on its own road, and I want to take that road again.
