Obvious but worth the read

Good story telling. Likable characters. Obvious villian. Good narrator. I'll definitely read this author again.

Starts slow, but worth getting your teeth into

I bought this book based on a recommendation from Audible after listening to the newest Chet and Bernie book. At first, it wasn't quite was I was hoping for, the humor is pretty deadpan, as is the narrator, but as I continued to listen, the story and the characters started to grow on me. By the end, I was hooked and have now bought the second book in the series.
