In <i>Butler to the World</i>, Oliver Bullough explains how Britain helps the rich and powerful around the world launder their money and commit other crimes. The book is full of information and anecdotes, but unfortunately, I found it a boring read.

Many thanks to NetGalley for providing me an audio ARC of this book.

Really enjoyed this book especially on audio! Thank you so much for the opportunity to read and listen. I will be recommending this one!

I was given an early audiobook in exchange for an honest review. I learned how the position of Butler became what it has become today. They travel the world with and for their employer. Yes they have used the position to their advantage. They are able to secretly launder the money of Russian oliagards. In England. To where it is a safe place to hide themselves and their money. Butlers and their employers aren’t talking.Thanks to #NetGalley, #MacMillanaudiobooks and by #StMartinsPress, Oliver Bullough the author and narrator. Which made one feel as if they had met an actual butler. And to #ButlersroTheWorld. for sending me an advance audiobook. Yes, I would recommend for anyone wanting to learn the interesting aspects of the life as a butler..well worth your time.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* loved reading this! very fascinating, learned a lot reading this. would recommend and possibly reread.

Wow! I had no idea how Britain was helping the global offshore economy. This was such an informative and interesting book. I love the correlations between the butlers of fiction and Britain as a butler. It definitely provides a perspective that we should all be aware of.

On top of the book itself, Bullough narrates it fabulously. He has the perfect English accent to keep one listening, even if just to hear his voice. Think of Hugh Grant narrating…need I say anything else?

Bullough’s previous book Moneyland is going to the top of my audiobooks to listen to both for the content and the narration.

Thanks to NetGalley for the audiobook ARC!

Butler to the World is a fascinating look at all of the many ways that Britain has become a facilitator for financial crimes. The author is obviously very well versed on the subject and brings an appropriate amount of humor and levity to the weighty topic at hand. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in the topic of financial crime (so like everyone that's binging Ozark right now).

Butler to the world is a book written by financial investigator Oliver below. In the beginning of the book I found the whole thing about Jeeves very humorous, but the laughs do not last. Once you get into the book and read about how Britain fights little countries and helps others do the same all you need is a great amount of wealth and they will help you launder your money cater to your needs and even give you great medical care while those of your country suffer. I thought Mr. below pulled out all the stops in money land, but this book should be on the college roster for how not to run your country. I mean Britain’s tactics are the same ones that global citizen just wrote a book about except instead of investigating their home country they went out the country define people victimizing the little man through war in tyranny and wreaking in all the big box. This is a great book and I highly recommend it if you love non-fiction you need to read this book. It will make you shake your head and caused you to be a little depressed because OMG this is what our leaders are doing. I was given this book by Net Gally and I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any errors as I am blind and dictate my review but all opinions are definitely my own.

I was really looking forward to reading/listening to this book. This book was very well-researched. There was a lot of information on money, banking history and trading. Unfortunately I only managed to read about 30% of the book. I was hoping for crime and money laundering cases and how Britain played a role in this. Maybe there were but it was briefly mentioned. This book wasn't for me. But if you enjoy books about trading, money, and the workings of the banking industry, this may be the one for you.
