The Witch of Grandad Bluff and Others Box Set

Four Cases of Jess Thornton, La Crosse Wisconsin Private Eye

By: Jess Thornton

Narrated by: Jay Bowers

Jess Thornton, private eye, is a young man from the small city of La Crosse, Wisconsin, who nevertheless manages to find himself in strange and often supernatural situations as he tries to solve crimes. From traveling through time to fighting witches, he could only survive with the help of his preternaturally gifted warrior friend, Alexander Blackdeer.

The two of them together, in this box set of four tales, manage to meet Elvis, King Arthur, and even Nathan Hixon of early La Crosse historic fame. Driving his old 1950 Packard Eight restored auto, he attacks crime where he finds it, with Alexander the mighty warrior beside him. They fight at the side of Native Americans from long ago and war with magical medicine men and eagles that are possessed by sorcerers.

But at the end of the day, they wind up back at home in present-day La Crosse, either at Jess's high-rise Hoeschler Building downtown office, his North Side boathouse, or at Alexander's immaculately restored Victorian mansion on Indian Hill. And in their downtime, they grill food, work out, drink beer, and smoke cigars....

Narrator did not pre-read the book.

I started listening to the 1st book of four in the box but the narrator was horrible. I was hoping it was a fluke and wanted to give the author Jess Thornton another chance but it was equally bad.
I'm going to have to return it even though it was a four book set for one credit.
