Inspector Hobbes and the Curse

Unhuman, Book 2

By: Wilkie Martin

Narrated by: Tim Campbell

Set in the Cotswolds, this is the next instalment in the adventures of Inspector Hobbes, Mrs Goodfellow, and Dregs, as narrated by the still disaster-prone Andy Caplet. It is a rip roaring, funny, and moving tale of Andy's infatuation with a dangerously beautiful woman, starting off during investigations into sheep deaths and the mysterious disappearance of pheasants.

These incidents appear to be connected to a rash of big cat sightings, and something horrible seems to be lurking in the woods. Is Andy cursed to be always unsuccessful in love, or is the curse something much darker, something that will arouse his primeval terrors?

Exceptional

Character driven fantastical mystery read by a pro! The dry humor and unique situations makes this series highly re-readable. This is my 3rd reading and there's always something I missed the 1st time. The best of the genre.

rather enjoyable

I think the narrator has vowel dyslexia. He seems to swap them around making words sound very odd. The story is superficially enjoyable with some moments that make you laugh out loud. The predictable setups stick out like dogs bits but otherwise enjoyable.

Entertaining as the first but fell a bit short

Loved this book. Love the series. Loved the characters, the story, dialog, and narrator.
I just feel it felt it ended without a resolution.

Of course there were not as many surprises as the first book and that shaves a bit off the fun.

Don't let this dissuade you from listening! The journey is worth it. Get this book!

More Please!

this is the second or third time that I have listened to the series and I will listen again! I literally never listen to books twice or read them twice, but this series is so satisfying so much fun and I hear something new each time I listen.

great book. .. again I am pleased

I am very happy with the next installment of the quirky adventures of this inspector and the poor writer who can't get anything right. But I like watching him grow
