About this listen

Baking. It can get a guy killed.

When a retired detective superintendent chooses to take a culinary tour of the British Isles, he hopes to find tasty treats and delicious bakes.…

…What he finds is murder, mayhem, and mystery everywhere he goes.

His dog, Rex Harrison, a former police dog fired for having a bad attitude, does his best to steer the humans in the right direction, but he cannot understand why they don’t just use their noses–the answers are right there if they would just employ their strongest sense!

However, solving a few mysteries won’t get them out of trouble, for there is a master criminal behind many of the crimes they encounter, and they’ve just caught his attention.

Their adventure is getting deadlier with every destination, but these two sleuths are not going to be put off. With Rex’s keen sense of smell and Albert’s decades of experience as a detective, this pair are on the trail.

Or are they being lured into a trap?

One thing is for certain, they had better figure it out soon or they might be the next victims.

I really enjoyed the books, they are an enjoyable and relaxing read. There was a few mistakes in the reading but it didn’t take away from the stories

These stories are great and really made me laugh

Loved these stories from start to finish.
Haven't looked at another book since starting as wanted to see where this delightful pairing were headed. A very unusual idea of a man and dog working together and I learnt something about the different foods on the journey too.
can't wait to read the last 5 stories.

Funny and interesting

Yes!
I wasn’t expecting an award winning book and the narrator and story is the perfect blend of “bad it’s good” that is perfect as an antidote to the run up to the general election.
I’ll admit so far I’ve only read the first book of 10 but if you’re looking for light relief from an okay story and slightly dodgy narrator (think your uncle Albert who tells the embarrassing stories at family gatherings) this is what you were looking for.

It’s the perfect antidote from listening to the politicians promise to give us the moon even though we know if they’re talking they’re lying.

I’m certain this combination of ex copper and ex cop dog has brought my blood pressure down.

Did I really rate it 5?

Love the story and characters. Dear old nosey Albert and loveable Rex bimbling their way along whilst solving cases everywhere.
Lighthearted fun and throughly enjoyable.
Narrator’s stop/start reading is somewhat grating to deal with but bearable thanks to the fun of the story.

Pure whimsy

The main characters..love the way their relationship was portrayed through the dog and owners eyes...

Well written and brilliantly narrated. I have loved following Albert and Rex on their tour of the UK and living in Dundee it was great to be included, Arbroath is just up the road and I can confirm what is said about the seagulls, lol xxxxxxx

fantastic

The reviews about this book are so true, it’s a brilliant set of stories. I have laughed and laughed, doing 3 books in as many days.
If in doubt, try it. You won’t be disappointed.

Great narration to go with a great story.
This is my first modern day cosy murder mystery. I generally avoid them, but glad I didn’t with this one. Worth every penny.

Brilliant
