About this listen

Baking. It can get a guy killed.

When a retired detective and a former police dog set out on a culinary tour of the British Isles, they dream of tasty treats and delicious bakes...

...what they find is mystery, mayhem, and murder.

Albert’s investigator’s brain sees things ordinary people might not, and his dog, Rex Harrison, cannot understand why the humans are struggling to solve each mystery. He can already smell the answer - it’s right before their noses.

Together they lend their skills to help the people they meet, but unwittingly, they’ve discovered a master criminal at work, and what started out as a bit of fun is getting deadlier with each new place they visit.

If you are a fan of gentle, funny mystery books, this series is sure to please. Grab a boxed set now and save a packet on buying them individually.

This series of books contain no cussing and graphic descriptions of violence or bedroom activities.

Portrayal of lead character, 78-year-old ex-detective inspector, Albert Smith by narrator Charles Robert Fox is well-paced and amusing. Steve Higgs' narrative is quietly uproarious and well crafted. Albert charms and leaves younger disbelieving cops gasping for breath in his wake. Including his own three children, all police!

The "dog whispering" is quite a new world and fascinating to me.

I laughed out loud at these stories!

Okay but plot devices were stretching it even for this genre. Perhaps the Cosy crime recipe book was misplaced? Beware the hissing sibilant sssss’s
