Synopsis
Things aren't going well for Joseph Geist. He's broke. His graduate school advisor won't talk to him. And his girlfriend has kicked him out of her apartment, leaving him homeless and alone. It's a tough spot for a philosopher to be in, and he's ready to give up all hope of happiness when an ad in the local paper catches his eye.
'Conversationalist wanted', it reads.
Which sounds perfect to Joseph. After all, he's never done anything in his life except talk. And the woman behind the ad turns out to be the perfect employer: brilliant, generous, and willing to pay him for making conversation. Before long, Joseph has moved in with her, and has begun to feel very comfortable in her big, beautiful house.
So comfortable, in fact, that he would do anything to stay there-forever.

About the Author
Jesse Kellerman is a recent graduate of Harvard and an MFA from Brandeis. His award-winning plays have been producted throughout the United States and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He received the 2003 Princess Grace Award, given to America's most promising young playwright, and has been a fellow at New Dramatists.
From AudioFile
The fourth Jesse Kellerman mystery would be a challenge to any narrator. It's tedious, overly philosophical, and takes much too long to get to the point. Joseph Geise is booted from Harvard University after failing to complete his thesis on free will after six years. He has few possessions and little ambition. He then takes a job talking philosophy with a woman in her seventies, Alma, who is originally from Vienna. Enter Alma's nephew, and the tone of the plot changes: Murder is on the horizon. Kirby Heyborne's characterization of Geise is appropriately frustrating at the start. Geise truly is a bore, but as he is transmogrified into a killer, Heyborne hits his stride. He delivers a much better performance than this book deserves. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
