Summary
Burned-out chef, and a bit of a hippy at heart if he's honest, Max Effort has had enough. He's packed in his job at a swanky Michelin three-star restaurant, grown his hair, berated his parents yet again for giving him such a "go get 'em" name, accepted he's never going to get his ex-wife back, and he's hitting the road.
The house is sold, a VW Campervan bought, and Anxious, his trusty Jack Russell Terrier, has already picked his spot.
Sick of the sight of roux, defiant in the face of deconstructed trifle, green at the sight of truffles, and despairing of anything served on a slate rather than a plate, he's about to embark on a tour of the backroads of Britain. He'll weave his way around the country to visit the sights, go to a few festivals, catch up with friends, and just chill out.
And every single night without fail, he's going to make his main meal in his cast-iron pot. It's one-pot cooking or bust for Max, and he cannot wait.
Freedom at last. The open road with his best friend for company. No hot, sweaty kitchens, shouting chefs, uppity waiters, or demanding customers. Just countryside, campsites, back-to-basics cooking, and the stars at night.
Then there was a murder....

A good story ruined by the narrator
A good story, addressing a familiar theme but in a quirky way I'd never come across before but totally ruined by the narrator.
I nearly gave up several times but the story kept me going not the story teller!!! Oh my god, the terrible accents, someone dragged in off the street could have done better.

Jolly camping fun.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a nice light listen, made me laugh out loud (in the office - awkward) and I felt part of the story. It's not high brow, it's fun.
The narrator has a 'stylev which will suit some and not others so listen to the sample.
I'm looking forward to the next in the series so don't take too long Audible.

Funny unbelievable cosy mystery
Would have been much more enjoyable without the horrific narration Which actually stooped me from listening to it and made it a struggle to get through

Wrong narrator
Unfortunately I didn’t listen to the sample first, if I had I wouldn’t have purchased this book.
The narrator would be perfect for books on manners and etiquette or royalty books or a narrator for a camp character but not good for a 6ft1 divorced chef, who ends up in a murder mystery.
I couldn’t finish it.

My new favourite cosy
I have just discovered this cosy crime series, and I just love it. The theme (life in a VW campervan) is refreshing and great fun. There are laugh out loud moments and the plot is just what you expect from a cosy. I cannot agree with other reviews as I just love the narration, maybe it’s a ‘personal taste’ thing. I find the narrator’s style a delight and it adds to the humour. I am so glad I came across this book and I can’t wait to start the next one in the series ‘Slaughter at the Seaside’.
