About this listen
Sir Giles Thackery - renowned Terran detective - is defrosted from cyro-sleep to tackle one of his toughest cases to date. Ambassadors of the Galactic Guild are turning up dead in the most gruesome ways on board the luxury cruise liner, the Euripides. Accompanied only by his great - to the eighteenth generation - granddaughter, elite SLASP Agent, Nanette Thackery, Sir Giles rushes from one murder to the next, desperately seeking the answers to why. In the end, it all winds up in a friendly game of squash to trap the culprit. The Galactic Guild watches on in anticipation as the seconds tick out before there is another victim.
In the spirit of Blake Edwards', The Pink Panther, and the fun of Mel Brooks', Spaceballs, Murder on Euripides, delivers on laughs and mayhem.

Tequila Key is just like any other small town, and I'm just like any other small town psychic. Scratch that. Tequila Key is a world onto itself and some people might think that I am one crayon short of the box. And, if we're being totally honest, Tequila Key is just like any other small town - if that town boasts a voodoo priestess and a few white witches for flavor. Turquoise blue water and the best margaritas this side of Mexico make it hard to leave.

Along with Aahz, the green-scaled, purple-tongued demon and master magician summoned by Garkin, he sets out on a quest to get even. The road to vengeance is bound to prove rocky, however, because Skeeve can barely light a candle with his beginning magic, and Aahz has lost his own considerable magical abilities as a consequence of Garkin’s summoning spell.

Mankind was beginning its third leap into the Galaxy, but Old Earth had so long kept to herself that her people were unable to travel safely among the rough-and-tumble cultures that had evolved on distant worlds. That annoyed Earth's rulers, for Hobart Floyt--a minor Terran bureaucrat-- had been left a mysterious inheritance by the deceased ruler of a small but wealthy interstellar empire.

Skeeve is a magician’s apprentice (and a wanna-be thief) until an assassin’s bolt kills his master, Garkin. Along with Aahz, the green-scaled, purple-tongued demon and master magician summoned by Garkin, he sets out on a quest to get even.

Under the One Child Policy, everyone plotted to have a son. Now 40 million of them can't find wives. China's One Child Policy and its cultural preference for male heirs has created a society overrun by 40 million unmarriageable men. By the year 2030, more than 25 percent of men in their late 30s will not have families of their own. An Excess Male is one such leftover man's quest for love and family under a state that seeks to glorify its past mistakes and impose order through authoritarian measures, reinvigorated Communist ideals, and social engineering.

Sci Fi Mystery
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Idk. I immensely enjoyed The Kili Wanna Affair. Although this work is by the same author and narrator, it took me over the course of a month to finish listening to it.
Would you be willing to try another book from Scott A. Combs? Why or why not?
I am interested in listening to his next George & Sali Adventure.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The narrator pegged the George & Sali Adventure. Perhaps his pace was too fast for this mystery adventure and its characters.
Was Murder on Euripides worth the listening time?
It's probably worth the time to read it.

The beginning
of a great series...can't wait for the next one!! LOL funny space opera that is filled with mystery, aliens and more!! Excellently read especially considering the wide variety of characters. Sir Giles is the Sherlock Holmes of time and space as he is awakened only when the whole Universe is a stake. The plot is filled with twists and a good time was had by all. So worth the credit!

humor is harder than it looks
Every victim is murdered in a new grotesque manner. Slapstick humor in the style of Pink Panther. Could not finish because the detective is such a failure.
The author struggles tells us over and over that the detective is smart while he fails at every clue, as each victim is telegraphed beforehand. Some glaring stereotypes just aren't funny anymore.
Here are some books to try instead for broad SF humor in this style :
Up aTree by Michael Schulkins
The Kili Wanna Affair: a Galactic Guild Comedy by Scott A Combs
Reggie Cide by Chris Dolley
Battlestar Suburbia by Chris McCrudden
