Campervans, Cooking, and Corpses

Max's Campervan Case Files, Book 1

De: Tyler Rhodes

Narrado por: Gareth Richards

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....

Petulant and whinny characters

I finished but didn’t really enjoy it. Is it a lighthearted read? Yes. Did I enjoy the characters or plot? Not really, I found the main character whinny and flat. Maybe it was the narrator. I did not care for his “voices” or character interpretations. A little like nails on a chalkboard. Perhaps I would have enjoyed the book if I read it instead of listening to it.

What a great story!

We’ve been traveling via campervan for several years now to see the beauty of North America. Picked this up to listen to along the way and we were amazed at how good of a story it was. Performance voice wise was great too. Worth a listen, even if you’ve never been camping.

Such a great read

It was fun !!! Don’t get me wrong I knew who did it pretty soon in the story but sometimes I like my books relaxed and easy to read even easy to predict!!! The characters were full of life and the story was very intriguing to someone who’s thought about selling everything and riding cross country in a camper van!

Excellent read, haha, listen

Loved the storyline, the different accents. 10/10 would recommend. looking forward to next in the series.

Light murder, if that's possible

More fun than mystery. If you want a little chuckle with your murder than this fits the bill. Great beach other-than-romance read.
