About this listen

John Smith has a problem. He’s a retired cop whose pension just got wiped out, and he doesn’t know why or how. Now, he needs to find a roommate to help pay the bills.

Sam has a problem. He’s a six-foot-tall talking cockroach, and he doesn’t know who created him, or why, or how. Now, he needs a place to live.

Thrown together as roommates and amateur detectives, Mr. Smith and the Roach realize their problems might be related. But those problems are far more complicated than they imagined, and before all is said and done, they’ll run afoul of a Russian gangster, an imprisoned Mafia don, a crooked Wall Street banker, a mad scientist, and maybe worst of all, Mr. Smith’s baby sister.

Can they get to the bottom of an unbelievable plot before someone exterminates the Roach - and Mr. Smith - for good?

This is not the kind of book I would normally go for but despite that, I did enjoy the story. It was fun and I liked most of the characters. The plot moves along at a good pace and the narration and production were both good. Good listen if you like detective stories with unusual characters. I was given a copy of this audiobook for an honest and unbiased review.
