The Pot Thief Who Studied Edward Abbey

De: J. Michael Orenduff

Narrado por: Austin Rising

The pot thief is going back to school, but someone on campus is trying for a different kind of degree - murder in the first - in this “smartly funny series” (Anne Hillerman).

Before making a somewhat notorious name for himself as a salvager of antiquated pottery and other desert artifacts, Hubie Schuze was an eager student at the University of New Mexico - right up until they booted him out. Now, he’s back at UNM as a pottery teacher. It should be a breeze, but campus life has changed dramatically in the past 25 years. From cell phones to trigger warnings to sensitivity workshops, Hubie has to get up to speed fast or risk losing control of his class.

But his dismay at the state of modern academia takes a back seat when a young beauty working as a life model is murdered - and Hubie becomes a suspect. Taking the investigation into his own hands, he soon uncovers a wide palette of sketchy suspects that includes both the self-involved student body and the quarrelsome art-school faculty.

But what he doesn’t know is that the murderer has a new artistic project in the works: a headstone for the grave of Hubie Schuze....

The Pot Thief Who Studied Edward Abbey is the eighth book in the Pot Thief Mysteries, but you may enjoy listening to the series in any order.

Excellent Story, Excellent narration!

Austin Rising's various character voices added much enjoyment for this story. I liked the narration of this book so much, that even though I read to the ending, I went back and listened to it too. Story was very good, with twist to the ending. Loved it!

Good narrator!

Love the pot thief series! The humor in the mysteries is great! Love the dialogue with Hubie and Suzanne!

Not My Favorite Book of the Series

I have listened to all the books in this series and so far this is the second book in the series that I have found boring. I would recommend skipping "The Pot Thief Who Studied Escoffier Book 4" all together. And unfortunately Book 8 in the series is next in line to skip in my opinion. Hubie in now living in a condo, involved in academia politics at UNM and eating French cuisine. All a departure from what I enjoyed about the main character. The new love of his life is a boring fashionista. Thank goodness Susanne has not been written out of the book yet. But their daily happy hour has diminished and so has the enjoyable banter they shared. Please bring the Hubie back that I enjoyed before he became involved with his dental hygienist. Please bring ancient pots, New Mexico culture, Old Town Albuquerque and all the funny supporting characters of the first 3 books back if the series continues.
