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.

This is a wonderful series to listen to. The story is entertaining and I love the interaction between the characters. Andy is hilarious with his constant clumsiness and getting injured in the most unusual ways.
Inspector Hobbs always comes to the rescue though and the other characters add flavor as well.
I just wish Wilkie could write faster. Lol

I love this series!

Consistent cozies with a supernatural twist. Hobbes is solid in this entry if a bit underused. Daphne definitely needs more time on the page. Andy seems to be developing a bit more self-awareness without sacrificing the bumbling contrast he provides for the more competent characters.

Solid entry for the series.

Hobbies and Andy never fail to entertain. Through in Dregs, Featherlite, Billy, and Mrs. G, and let the hilarity begin!
Narration was spot on, voices well done, storyline clipped along at a fine pace.

Another Hobbes Hit!

Poor clumsy Andy. I can definitely relate to him. I really enjoyed this series. The performance was excellent, the story kept me interested. Hobbes' demeanor was always right on point. The 'voices' of each character and descriptions of them, let me easily picture them in my imagination. This would be an amazing series or movie to watch if the correct actors were chosen for each role. I hope there's more books!

I wish more people in the world were like Hobbes

I can’t get past my amazement of this narrator who does multiple voices and manages to keep them separated.

Amazing narration of a highly entertaining story

This is the best yet! Wilkie Martin is a master at weaving mystery with quirky and comedic fantasy. Hobbes is a gentle (usually) giant who saves the day.

I Love Hobbes!

and the old girl, too. A wonderful romp with some of the most original and lovable characters. Thanks for continuing the story, and to Tim Campbell for his incredible narration.

So glad to catch up with Andy and Hobbs

I sighed up for Audible's free trial just so I could listen to this faster. Tim Cambell is a marvelous actor, with an incredible voice and the story was as engaging and entertaining as ever.

It's always a good time returning to The Cotswolds and catching up with Hobbes and friends. I won't spoil anything, as I hate spoilers myself, but I do hope we get to see more of Daphne in future installations. Her thrill for adventure ans roll woth the punches attitude is a nice change of pace.

A++

I enjoyed every page. I listen while working out and while taking a shower. I rather wish the books were a bit longer. I would like this series to go on for some considerable time.

Excellent audio book exceptionally well narrated
