About this listen

The economy has taken a turn for the worse, and Hank is working as a part-time gravedigger (and more than part-time graverobber). Despite being an expert shoveler, it’s not his top career choice, and he’s anxious to take any "legitimate" criminal work that comes along.

In that vein, he finds himself hired by a mysterious woman who wants him to recover an even more mysterious trunk that was stolen from her mansion. He’s also tasked by the new Adjunct Overwatch to find out who has been tampering with the Upper City. Hank struggles against competitive rivals, government red tape, serial killers, and his ever-present grumbling stomach.

All of this takes place with the backdrop of the Thad Elon Festival. It was put on as a means to drum up tourism revenue for the city. But there’s a concern that the destructive demigod in question might show up in person to take part in the celebration.

OMG - Edit your recording!!

Another fun romp with Hank almost totally ruined by unedited dialog re-recordings. I’ve always enjoyed Liam Owen’s vocal choices on these books. Unfortunately the re-recorded takes that we’re not deleted from the final recording we’re a problem. Still, I do not regret spending a credit for a new Hank Story.

Another great Hank story

Another great Hanks story. But the editing detracts from the overall rating. Lots of repeated sentences disrupts the flow of the story. Stephen Campbell is a genius and Liam. Owen gives a fantastic performance.

Bad editing

The editor is not adequately working out the recordings. The book was enjoyable when not getting endless repeats. This majorly disrupts the flow of the book.

Belleville is the best!

I absolutely love this book. A great world with fun characters. I love this series, and somehow each book keeps getting better.

Audio needs editing- lots of repeats

The lack of audio “proof reading” and narration mistakes detracted from the story, which isn’t one of the better ones to begin with. Still love Hank though.

Adding to the pile - EDIT PLEASE!

Great story, lots of laughs, and a great performance but please edit this thing. It took me weeks to get through it because of how irritating the repeated dialog was.

A great bounce back from the last book!

I've been into the Hank series for a while now, and the only book I sort of disliked was the last one. This one comes back to even it out a bit. The multiverse/other universe Hank stuff was confusing at first and was not lead into very well at any point in the series, it just poofed and changed. But still love these books and the narration by Liam Owen is always fantastic!

typical hank story but the editor should be shot

if you liked previous books your going to like this one.
only thing is there are numerous times the audio repeats itself like they did 2 takes and left them both in. It is awful and the audio editor should feel awful.

Great series but repeating lines really killed it.

I wish they would take this book and edit it to remove the double takes. So many hilarious scenes are wrecked by them. Other then that, I really enjoyed the book and voice acting.

Great Story/Poor editing job

As many have said, there are editing errors throughout. More than a hundred, I would guess. Not the end of the world, but it should have already been fixed in this day and age.
