The Gumboot & Gumshoe Series, Book 1

De: Laura Hesse

Narrado por: Carrie Burgess

A cop, a pig, and a serial killer walk into a bar.

Seal Island is home to a moonshine making billionaire, a pot growing fisherman, a celebrity flower child, a handsome romance writer, a sex addicted realtor, a womanizing pub owner, a cop, a pot-bellied pig…and a serial killer.

The island is serene and remote. It is only accessible by boat. The residents like it that way, until those with the deepest and darkest of secrets start dying in the most bizarre of ways.

Upon discovering widow Eliza Bone floating bottoms-up in her Oscar fish tank, the one clue that the crime solving duo of Sergeant Betty Bruce and her pot-bellied pig, Gertrude, have is a set of muddy gumboot tracks left at the scene. Their problem: everyone on Seal Island wears gumboots. As two more people die and secrets begin to unravel, Betty and Gertrude soon find themselves in the cross-hairs of a serial killer.

In the end, only Gertrude may be left standing!

If you love funny murder mysteries, then Laura Hesse's Gumboot & Gumshoe Series is the perfect listen. Stay tuned for more adventures with Sgt Betty Bruce and Gertrude as they continue to solve crimes on the not-so-sleepy little Seal Island in The Dastardly Mr. Deeds.

Great Series

I was given a free copy of this book at my request and have voluntarily decided to leave this review. Very entertaining, makes you laugh. A light fun story ,with lovable characters. A pig and a cow go down to the pub for a beer what's not to love. found it easy to keep up with all all of them. Certainly a break from the mysteries I usually listen to .

I enjoyed this

Well done. I listened to this twice to see if I missed any clues. The pig and cow were a bonus. I enjoyed the mystery. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

Fun read.

The description of the island life was interesting. All the characters human and animals were great. Loved the pig!

Right in My Face The Whole Time

Great mystery book. The ending left me hoping for book 2. I loved the relationship each character had with Betty. Can’t wait for book 2

Excellent

The story was interesting and a little different. The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life very well!
