About this listen

Baking. It can get a guy killed.

When a retired detective superintendent chooses to take a culinary tour of the British Isles, he hopes to find tasty treats and delicious bakes.…

…What he finds is murder, mayhem, and mystery everywhere he goes.

His dog, Rex Harrison, a former police dog fired for having a bad attitude, does his best to steer the humans in the right direction, but he cannot understand why they don’t just use their noses–the answers are right there if they would just employ their strongest sense!

However, solving a few mysteries won’t get them out of trouble, for there is a master criminal behind many of the crimes they encounter, and they’ve just caught his attention.

Their adventure is getting deadlier with every destination, but these two sleuths are not going to be put off. With Rex’s keen sense of smell and Albert’s decades of experience as a detective, this pair are on the trail.

Or are they being lured into a trap?

One thing is for certain, they had better figure it out soon or they might be the next victims.

Brilliant lighthearted listening

A brilliant set of books. Fun to listen too whilst still keeping you guessing on what’s going to happen next!

A pleasant jape!

I have listened to the first 3 books so far and although not finished I am enjoying them. Rex is a great character and I like Albert's attitude to life.

My only complaint is there are a few occasions when two characters are speaking (or rather the narrator is using x and y's voices) who then mis-calls someone ie. Albert says 'Albert told me...' so it's both illogical and then divulges something only another character would know. Feels like an editing issue.

It grows on you

This annoyed me at first, but once you accept that the two protagonists are in a world of their own, and it has a nicer feel than available others, I began to smile.

I need a Rex

The stories are great, really good fun and quite captivating. I also like the narration sounding like it’s an old man, and the different voices and accents are spot on. I do find the frequent misreading of names and mispronunciation of words quite irritating though, like reading a book that hasn’t been proofread.

Excellent

I haven’t giggled so much whilst still being gripped following the exploits of the investigations. Excellent listen. I enjoyed the narration and would definitely recommend it. I am off to find the next adventure.

Gently Enjoyable

Not a lot of effort needed to listen to this cosy murder set. Obviously written by an American with some of the wording and knowledge but not enough to be too annoying; I've certainly come across much wore. Can't say I find it as hilarious as other reviewers but definitely amusing at times.

Quite amused, though, at a mob boss being called Finbarr Saunders - if you're British and read Viz you'll understand! 🤣🤣🤣

Narrator does a pretty good job, but wish he'd had some coaching on pronunciation of some words... vapping instead of vaping,
