Publisher's Summary

Dan Deadman's afterlife just hit an all new low.

When a suspect explodes mid-interrogation and his office is taken over by an intergalactic despot, undead detective Dan Deadman reckons he's finally hit rock bottom.

Banished to a dangerous underground hostel network, Dan becomes embroiled in a mass-murder investigation that will take him from the bowels of Down Here to the depths of the ocean. As the clues run out and the case collapses around him, Dan discovers a sinister plot that could wipe out two whole civilizations, and plunge the planet of Parloo into an endless bloody war.

Featuring terrifying sea monsters, killer toilets, and an anatomically correct children's cartoon mascot who'll haunt your nightmares forever, Dead in the Water is the third book in the Dan Deadman Space Detective series and perfect for fans of Space Team, The Dresden Files, and tiny aggressive Irish fellas.

Damn, Deadman! Back at it again!

Okay, so I don’t have the best titles to my reviews but Barry J. Hutchison really does have another hilarious and entertaining story to tell. Phil Thron does a MASTERFUL job with the Space Team Universe. His accents are perfect, his comic timing and tone, flawless.

I listen to podcasts and audiobooks for about 12-14 hours a day, almost every day and this is EASILY, the most laugh out loud, make a bad day better series I’ve found.

Lol. ROFL

Absolutely love this series! I really wondered how the narrator could read the story without cracking up - and then I listened to the outtakes at the end and realized he's hysterically laughing too!

Better and better every book

Holy fonking shiz thes books are great. Please hurry up with the next one. Oh, and i dont know who the genius was who decided on putting a blooper reel at the end of all these books, but bravo. That was a fantastic idea. Listening to Phil loose his shiz laughing at the absurdity of some of the lines in these books is great. Well done Barry, keep up the good work.

Strong Third Book!

I requested a free code in exchange for an honest review.

This book is laugh out loud funny. It is a good story and I enjoyed the mystery. If you liked the first two books you will like this.

The narration is great!

One of the best series I have ever listened to

Though it occurs to me as this book ended that I probably should have listened to the authors other space series first, I don't know that it mattered all that much. This is still hands down one of the best series I have ever read/listened to. I can't recommend it enough.

Truly laugh out loud funny!

All I have to say is buy the audiobook. Once you hear the phrase "Bliminny Bliminny Blim", you will never forget it.

Hutchison and Thron, I bow to you both! This fonking shizz is funny!

So happy I found this book series

where to start, the Dan deadman series is just brilliant, the world building, characters and story are top notch. Phil Thron is a fantastic narrator and really brings the characters to life.
thank you Barry for writing this series and for the space team universe.

More please Mr Hutchison

I have just finished the last in the Dan Deadman series listening to them back-to-back. I never want it to stop. The wonderful combination of characters from the imagination of the author brought vividly to life by Phil Thron are perfect.

I hope you will write and perform more.

Love Barry's work!

Barry J Hutchinson has become my favourite fonking author. And his books are made even better in narration.

I can't wait for his latest works to be read by Pill.

More, More

I am really enjoying this series. I'm hoping this is not the last title just for Deadman. The stories are darkly humorous and reality objective. Love them.
