Crazy Like a Foxe

Skyler Foxe Mysteries, Book 6

De: Haley Walsh

Narrado por: Joel Leslie

High school English teacher Skyler Foxe swears he's done being an amateur sleuth. Instead, he'd rather concentrate on his career as a teacher and on his hot boyfriend, head football coach Keith Fletcher, who is busy with football practice and an interesting new player that puts Keith in the spotlight for a change. But Skyler encounters a few homegrown surprises of his own, not the least of which is the unwelcome appearance of one of Keith's old flames. What does he want? And then Skyler is confronted with two shocking bits of news in his own backyard that make him rethink his own future plans, whatever those are. But all that gets put aside when a murder occurs in plain sight at an outdoor concert. Skyler, his Scooby Gang, and even Keith join in to investigate a murder that's far too close to home.

Another fun addition to this series!

Another great installment from my favorite TSTL character, Skyler Foxe. The gang is all back and solving another mystery (or two!). I enjoyed this one a lot, but I was not that happy with the secrets of both Keith and Skyler. I hope they won't be making that mistake again. I was also disappointed that there weren't very many sexy times in this one, but overall this was a great addition to the series.

I've actually never read these books only listened to the audiobooks because Joel Leslie is absolutely amazing as every single character. I don't need him to tell me who is talking, because I can tell. I love all of his voices and these audiobooks are some of my favorites. I can't wait for Stone Cold Foxe!

Great story and narration

I have become a fan of Skyler and his SFC through the tales. Enjoy the writing and like the narration.

Gah! I love this series & performance!

I don’t know what else I can say about Joel Leslie that I haven’t already said. He’s the perfect vocal performer for this series. He makes the stories and characters come to life. I’m fascinated that he can perform other books with vastly different characters and come back to this series with each new book and perform them perfectly every time. As I stated in my last review…he IS the characters in this series.

Oh, Ms. Walsh do I have a bone to pick with you! HOW could you do that to us???? In case you haven’t heard, she’s left us with a bit of a cliffhanger ending with Skyler and Keith. And I need Stone Cold Foxe RIGHT NOW!

We actually get quite a few surprises in this book! Sidney lays a whooper on us. We get a glimpse into Keith’s past which he’s not particularly proud of but he continues to melt our hearts when he’s with Sky-boy. Skyler shows us some vulnerabilities we didn’t know existed, as well as a maturity level that is surprising when dealing with his kids and his part time summer job. Philip and Rodolfo share some big news as well. I guess Jamie and Dave need to catch up on surprising us.

As always, I loved this book and the vocal performance and CAN NOT wait for the next one!

fun books

I'm ready for the next book. good stuff ! I hope to see it soon.

Walsh and Leslie hit it out of the park, AGAIN

Where does Crazy Like a Foxe rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This whole series ranks among the top of my audio books. While "Crazy Like a Foxe" is not my favorite in the series, it is an excellent and worthy continuation.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Crazy Like a Foxe?

The most amazing writing in this book came as Skyler asked his friend Jamie to do something completely unethical. I was so drawn into the book, that I began yelling at my playback device trying to talk Skyler out of it. Walsh's characters are so fully developed that I feel as if I am catching up on friend's lives as I read the book.

Which scene was your favorite?

I think my favorite scene was Skyler's final interview with the murderer. In the scene we see how Skyler has matured throughout the entire series and especially in this book. We see him using what he has learned, which makes him much more effective. (The Skyler Foxe from the first book would not have made it out of this situation alive!)
Beyond the fabulous writing, Leslie's narration was superbly paced building towards climax. I was on the edge of my seat.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Like the rest of the series, there are many laugh-out-loud moments. Walsh's humor doesn't come from jokes and punch-lines, but from well drawn characters reacting to the situations in which they find themselves.

Any additional comments?

The whole series is fantastic. I usually advocate for starting a few books into a series because many author's don't really find the perfect tone and voice until then. That is not the case for Skyler Foxe. Walsh hit the ground running, and the characters develop very nicely from book to book to book, that going backwards would, to my mind, hurt the enjoyment of the whole thing. (Plus later books are spoilers for the first three).
