Dorothy Graham is dead, which is inconvenient, not least for her. Luckily, she has planned for this eventuality. Now, if any of the truly dreadful people she is related to want to get their hands on her money, they’re going to have to do so via a fiendish difficult and frankly bizarre competition of Dorothy’s devising. After all, just because you’re dead, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a last laugh at the expense of people who made your life miserable.

A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), The Stranger Times is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable. At least that's their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a man who thinks little of the publication he edits. His staff are a ragtag group of misfits. And as for the assistant editor...well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who's got problems of her own.

But with his academic reputation in tatters, and nothing to lose but his few remaining marbles, the great skeptic is about to discover that the past that haunts him will be nothing compared to his ghost-ridden future.

When a gambling debt puts him between a rock and a swim in the Hudson with concrete shoes, Smithy has no choice but to take the worst job imaginable. The gig - as prey in a leprechaun hunt for a bunch of Wall Street jerks - goes as badly as it sounds. He could leave it there and write it off as a harsh lesson learned, but 14 months later when Smithy comes up with a plan to take his revenge on the man behind it all, it is too good to resist.

Everyone’s heard of Nostradamus. No one’s heard of Philibert Montmorency. One was a legend. The other, not so much.... A newly discovered Nostradamus prophecy has taken the internet by storm thanks to "The Oblivion Doctrine", a group of online conspiracy theorists. Apparently the end is nigh. And in case anyone’s interested, nigh is definitely a Tuesday. Doctor Ally Oldfield, professor of Medieval Languages, is summoned to Lyon for a second opinion. She’s not happy about it. But then again she’s rarely happy about anything.

Publisher's Summary
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.’

Best Value on Audible
Narration is so PERFECT and the stories vastly entertaining. Individually, I might have wavered between a 4 and a 5, but 40 amazing hours of entertainment for one credit - hands down, Five Stars! After so long with these characters, I'd normally be ready for a break, but all I feel is an abiding sadness that there is no more. Quirky, likable characters, funny and somewhat snarky dialog, and clever, interesting plots - yep, this is a world I could just stay in. If you enjoy urban fantasy, you could think of this as English rural fantasy and when you add the humor, the brilliance of a character like Hobbs, and some great dog action, it's hard to beat! There is plenty of tension in the narrative, but nothing you couldn't enjoy with the whole family and I loved that. After reading this, I think I am in love with Wilkie Martin and major kudos to Tim Campbell's bringing the stories to beautiful life.

Inspector Hobes and the Blood -While it took me a little while to get used to the humor it was worth it. It turned out to be a darned funny and quirky story. Warning, do not read while hungry because there is a lot of talk about food. Inspector Hobbes and the Curse-Most of the plot lines went to an easily predictable place. That said, it really doesn't matter because those plot lines involve the hilarious duo, Hobbes and Andy. Inspector Hobbes and the Gold Diggers-This is a fun series.

Sherlock Holmes Meets Hitchhiker's Guide
A truly marvelous tale with poignantly dry wit, brutally satisfying action, and *real* personality. I honestly can't sing high enough praises, I fell in love with every part of this collection. The story arcs are well-crafted, dialogue never feels boring, and the characters have--well, character! In addition, Tim Campbell delivers a masterful performance. Americans love a British accent, of course, but Campbell's skill is exemplary in remaining unpretentious and relatable. Enjoy with a nice pint of lager.

Excellent series!
First let me say that I really loved this series. That being said, I can’t stand Andy. He’s an inept buffoon with such stagnant character growth that it’s like someone wrote a story about Ron Weasley as a muggle surrounded buy incredibly interesting and creative characters. That sounds bad since he’s the narrator and main character, BUT the people he surrounds himself with make this a great series. Even though he’s the narrator and main character, he’s telling the story of these other awesome folk, he just happens to also be there...

I tried to get through it...I really did. but the way it was narrated made the book really boring to listen too. it doesn't help the main character is a grown ass man that is just....so useless and cowardly...I hate that in people so listening to him talk about his life and failures just danm near put me to sleep. I mean he tries, but at his age their some things you should know how to do, like cook...and drive. so good luck...you are gonna need it to read this book.

Terrible narrator
I have quit this book with 30 hours and 56 minutes left. I am just sick to my back teeth of the awful way the narrator pronounces his words. He is totally incapable of pronouncing anything with 'or' in it. Awful is pronounced offal, thought is thot, hairy is harry, walk is wok, hall is hol, caught is cot, ought is ot etc etc. It seriously goes on and on until it becomes an unfunny joke and you just ignore the story and wait for the next mispronounced word. Terrible. As for the story, I think I did laugh once,but in all honesty, it was no more than that, the story was full of holes and Andy was just too stupid and cowardly to be of interest. Seriously, give it a miss.

Not for me
I only like writing positive pieces. So this will be short.
The side characters are more interesting than the main pairing. Hobbes is fine, shame a deep dive into his history isn’t more forthcoming.
Andy though is hard to take. Hero or anti hero? I’ve obviously missed the point because either way it’s almost impossible to feel empathy for the character and as he is the narrator of the tales he is a constant frustration. He offers little with his selfish outlook on life, a self serving moaner and a taker. Indescribably irritating.
Add the narrations self styled mispronunciation of every third vowel literally drove me to shouting at my poor phone.
I like to finish what I start but I really wish I hadn’t with this. So many hours wasted trying to let the book win me over. Nothing wrong with the writers tale as such and funny every now and again. But Andy makes this a production that I will never relisten too again. I enjoy replaying most books over and over. Delete.

I just couldn’t take any more
I got to chapter 12 but just couldn’t take any more of the narrator’s weird and increasingly annoying pronunciation of certain words - it really detracted from the story - just as you became immersed in the story he’d say something odd like thot instead of thought and it ruined the thought process (no pun intended). I rather liked the story’s premise but just can’t listen any more.

Hilarious, gentle mystery series
A rare find for me. A series of books (four titles released as one audiobook) both funny and intriguing. Blending a similar humour to the Discworld series with the quirkiness of the Rivers of London books. Whilst being adult fiction, there is nothing unsuitable for younger listeners. An excellent selection for a family road trip.
Narration is excellent, a range of voices and accents performed well. Speed of reading is spot on.
Very enjoyable.

I wanted to like this series of books, but I’m struggling to finish even the first volume. Comparing them to Pratchett is doing a disservice to Sir Terry’s genuine wit and humour. I think the most difficult thing to get over is that I can feel no sympathy for Andy, the lead character. He is cowardly, shallow, lazy and unintelligent. It’s hard to care what happens to him. Hobbes is a bit more likeable, but the humour of the author seems clumsy and forced. The storyline is just okay. The narrator does his best, but even he couldn’t get me very interested.

Enjoyable mysteries
I thoroughly enjoyed the Hobbes series. I found Wilkie Martin’s writing style reminiscent of Terry Pratchett, PG Wodehouse and Arthur Conan Doyle.

Story
Rotherweird is a twisted, arcane murder-mystery with shades of Deborah Harkness, Hope Mirrlees and Ben Aaronovitch, Mervyn Peake and Edward Gorey at their disturbing best. The town of Rotherweird stands alone - there are no guidebooks, despite the fascinating and diverse architectural styles cramming the narrow streets, the avant-garde science and offbeat customs. Cast adrift from the rest of England by Elizabeth I, Rotherweird's independence is subject to one disturbing condition: nobody, but nobody, studies the town or its history.

All Bunny McGarry wants is a spot of breakfast and a decent cup of tea. So imagine how annoyed he gets when two masked men attempt to rob the New York diner he is in. Unfortunately, dealing with that problem just leads to a whole lot more. One of the diner’s other customers isn’t who she appears to be, and the odds aren’t great that she is going to live to see another breakfast.
