About this listen

No stranger to fear since meeting the unhuman Inspector Hobbes, Andy Caplet fears getting fired from his reporting job (again). His main concern, though, is a shady property developer who has designs on Sorenchester Common, and more annoyingly on his wife.

Perhaps a trip to the mountains will help him relax, but this proves even more perilous with foul weather, inedible food, brigands, and a terrifying cruise. Fortunately, mountain leopards, Yetis and Flossy, the yak, take a shine to Andy.

Back in the Cotswolds, a child gets murdered and a new detective takes on the case. When Hobbes returns, he (with Andy’s dubious assistance) is relegated to hunting an enormous bird with killer feet. Meanwhile, Andy still worries about the common and the reclusive Common People (surely not Yetis?), who will lose their homes if the housing development goes ahead.

This is the fifth in Wilkie Martin’s unhuman series of cozy comedy crime fantasies.

I love this series - and will continue to look forward to each new book but the narrators pronunciation of certain vowels is quite the strangest thing I’ve ever heard and distracts me. ‘Thought’ is ‘thot’, ‘broad’ is ‘brod’ to mention just a few. Once I heard him say ‘thoughtless’ normally so it is some kind of affectation for some unknown reason but I wish he wouldn’t do it. Distracting, annoying and stupid.

Great series but weird narration

I was so tempted to knock off a star simply because there just wasn’t enough book.

Brilliant hilarity

I thing the Double entendres are the best. Sometime just the rolling your eyes dumb jokes.

Wonderful just like all the other one!

So glad to see another instalment out on audible. Absolutely love this series of books. And the narrator is hysterical in his depictions (apart from the Liverpudlian accent lol but that is a tricky one to master)
5 stars! Bravo! Fingers crossed there’s more to come.

Another amazing story from Andy and Inspector Hobbes

I liked the characters, the voices and the 'craziness,' of it all. The characters and the storyline just merge well and lead the listener easily through the story.

Entertaining
