Old Habits

Albert Smith's Mystery Thrillers, Book 1

By: Steve Higgs

Narrated by: Charles Robert Fox

Dirk De Graaf has kept his deadly secret for twenty-three years. Not one person on the planet knows.

Until today.

A chance encounter in the street threatens to expose everything and topple an empire he built with little more than ruthless cunning.

But it's just one man. One old man. And one old man can be dealt with easily enough.

Or so Dirk De Graaf thinks.

He should have picked a different old man because some old habits are hard to break and getting into trouble is Albert’s speciality.

Love me some Rex

Not sure how I stumbled on to this series but really enjoyed first book and will definitely go on to the next.

Hilarious

Hilarious, feel good cozy. Both the retired policeman and police dog will win your heart. Happily solved crimes, funny action scenes with dog, and wry, tongue in cheek humor throughout. Once I finished this book, I immediately bought the rest. On to hook 2.....

A good adventure of a dog and his human

The personality and voice of Rex are well done. The plot is good but gets very complicated.

Best Albert Smith/Rex book I've read

I found this book to be well-paced, well-narrated and intriguing. I found the story much more sophisticated than some of the other books portraying Albert and Rex. I get such a chuckle out of the thoughts attributed to Rex and this book did not disappoint. Rex is well show-cased in this story. I read book 2 and 3 before book 1 and enjoyed 1 the most.
I've also read all the "culinary" series books and found I enjoyed the transitioning of Albert and Rex into a different type of mystery.

the perfect detective team!

I can't get enough of Albert & Rex! I really enjoy how they grow as a team over the course of their adventures. Mt Higgs must have had many dogs, to so plausibly narrate their thoughts :)
