Monterey Pulp

A Barker Mystery

By: Patrick Whitehurst

Narrated by: Theo Holland

The mysterious sleuth of California's Central Coast returns in a new episode of the Barker Mysteries

Following hot on the heels of his rescue of Carmel's mayor from the ship Wicked Joe in Monterey Noir, Barker once again finds himself in a hot mess of danger and intrigue. Seeking escape from his newfound popularity, the handsome man with no memory of his past travels deep into the Carmel Highlands, only to find adventure has followed him there.

From an encounter with the disturbing Easter Bunny Man at Pacific Grove's famous Lover's Point to a diabolical plot by the homeless denizens of Deadrent Kingdom, trouble is never very far from Barker and his collection of loyal canines. And mystery has a way of following this strange man who deliberately chooses to live in the margins of society. Barker can make anywhere a home; he is as resourceful as the pack of hounds that are his devoted companions.

great

This is a great set of short mysteries solved by an unassuming homeless man. I enjoyed each story. Very good and highly recommend this. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

Enjoyable snd engaging!

Monterey Pulp is the second book featuring Barker and his companion dogs by Patrick Whitehurst. This book builds on the situations in the first book. Barker has stellar instincts and observational skills. Although he is a very unconventional hero, he always helps with the cases and fixes the problems and solves the mystery. The narrator Theo Holland gives an outstanding performance and brings the characters and story to life.
