Hobbes: Unhuman Series, Books I-IV

I - Inspector Hobbes and the Blood Inspector Hobbes, a monstrous police detective, investigates grave, ghoulish goings-on. A mad pseudo vampire with the dagger of Vlad Tepes is behind robbery, and murder. It is a funny tale with a troll, human sacrifice, blood and great cooking. 'I ought to tell you, dear, he can get rather wild when he's hungry.'

II - Inspector Hobbes and the Curse Andy becomes infatuated with a dangerously beautiful woman during Hobbes's investigations into sheep deaths and the mysterious disappearance of pheasants, which are apparently connected to a rash of big cat sightings; and something horrible seems to be lurking in the woods. 'Love may be on the horizon but, beware; something wicked this way comes.'

III - Inspector Hobbes and the Gold Diggers Unwelcome attention after foiling an armed robbery forces the Inspector away on holiday to the dangerous Blacker Mountains, where his accident-prone friend, Andy, stumbles across something shocking, before falling for an attractive widow. ‘I always knew you’d get ahead one day.’

IV - Inspector Hobbes and the Bones Trouble lies ahead for Andy. Is the apparently charming young woman who attempts to seduce him merely setting him up for blackmail, or is something even more sinister afoot? Hobbes certainly believes so, and, though he's not the sort to worry, he is getting worried. ‘I was grateful for having been born human.’

A light hearted and amusing collection of alternative crime stories. I found myself smiling at the puns despite expecting them. A good listen.

Tongue in cheek.

Nice to listen and quite entertaining. Good if you're in the mood for something easy to listen when doing chores or driving. You need to know English people a bit to catch all jokes, but if you're not familiar with them it's not a big problem.

Quite funny

I really enjoyed these books, the author seems obsessed with food and has an unusual sense of humour. The reading was fun, with a somewhat unique use / pronunciation of the English language. Highly recommend.

Bonkers

Odd characters, odd situations but thoroughly good fun. I didn't think I'd like it but they were very easy to listen too and suddenly your on book 4!

I just really liked it.

I read some previous views which criticised the voice/accent of the narrator. Initially I would agree but it is well worth persevering as the books are great and after a while you can’t imagine them being read any other way. They are laugh out loud funny in parts and just a lovely rollicking listen. Will certainly be listening to more in the series.

Such fun
