Synopsis

There's going to be trouble. Andy Caplet's wife goes away, someone is out to get him, and he loses nearly everything in a storm. Amazing both himself and his unhuman friend Inspector Hobbes, he heroically rescues flood victims and uncovers something shocking. Is Andy being set up for blackmail by the apparently charming young woman who attempts to seduce him, or is something even more sinister afoot? Hobbes certainly believes so, and he's getting worried. This is the fourth in Wilkie Martin's unhuman series of cosy comedy crime fantasies.Tim Campbell was a nominee for a VoiceArts Award 2018 for his narration of the Inspector Hobbes and the Bones audiobook.

I am known to gravitate towards fantasy, but I do enjoy a good cosy mystery from time to time, so I was very excited when I first heard about this book as it promised to be a mixture of both genres. The story is told from the perspective of a restaurant reviewer Andy Caplet who occasionally helps hi......more

Goodreads review by Wing Kee on November 29, 2018

A time jump makes all the difference. World: The world building is done well, it’s very nonchalant like the rest of the series and as I’ve said the supernatural is very light and only comes when the story needs it, the rest of it is pretty small English town like Hot Fuzz. The new pieces are interest......more
