Hobbes: Unhuman Series, Books I-IV

I - Inspector Hobbes and the Blood Inspector Hobbes, a monstrous police detective, investigates grave, ghoulish goings-on. A mad pseudo vampire with the dagger of Vlad Tepes is behind robbery, and murder. It is a funny tale with a troll, human sacrifice, blood and great cooking. 'I ought to tell you, dear, he can get rather wild when he's hungry.'

II - Inspector Hobbes and the Curse Andy becomes infatuated with a dangerously beautiful woman during Hobbes's investigations into sheep deaths and the mysterious disappearance of pheasants, which are apparently connected to a rash of big cat sightings; and something horrible seems to be lurking in the woods. 'Love may be on the horizon but, beware; something wicked this way comes.'

III - Inspector Hobbes and the Gold Diggers Unwelcome attention after foiling an armed robbery forces the Inspector away on holiday to the dangerous Blacker Mountains, where his accident-prone friend, Andy, stumbles across something shocking, before falling for an attractive widow. ‘I always knew you’d get ahead one day.’

IV - Inspector Hobbes and the Bones Trouble lies ahead for Andy. Is the apparently charming young woman who attempts to seduce him merely setting him up for blackmail, or is something even more sinister afoot? Hobbes certainly believes so, and, though he's not the sort to worry, he is getting worried. ‘I was grateful for having been born human.’

Cozy Urban Fantasy

Like Harry Dresden mixed with Midsomer Murders. Great voice acting, humour and style. Strongly recommend.

Good story, 40 flew by!

I loved the characters in this. the storyline was good and the performance was good too.

Hold on to your teeth for a fantastic ride!

A laugh out loud detective mystery that will keep you listening! Martin keeps you guessing until the end. You will fall in love with the quirky characters. I love this series and could listen to Tim Campbell’s superb narration over and over! If you like urban fantasy and mystery this is the series for you.

Sad for it to end!

I thoroughly enjoyed Books 1-IV. Unusual story line that had me laughing out loud. Great narration, fun characters, and a nice listen. I’m sad I came to the end.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

The play on words can be quite funny, if sometimes a bit of a groaner, but who doesn't love an occasional Dad joke?
