About this listen

Burned-out chef, and a bit of a hippy at heart if he's honest, Max Effort has had enough. He's packed in his job at a swanky Michelin three-star restaurant, grown his hair, berated his parents yet again for giving him such a "go get 'em" name, accepted he's never going to get his ex-wife back, and he's hitting the road.

The house is sold, a VW Campervan bought, and Anxious, his trusty Jack Russell Terrier, has already picked his spot.

Sick of the sight of roux, defiant in the face of deconstructed trifle, green at the sight of truffles, and despairing of anything served on a slate rather than a plate, he's about to embark on a tour of the backroads of Britain. He'll weave his way around the country to visit the sights, go to a few festivals, catch up with friends, and just chill out.

And every single night without fail, he's going to make his main meal in his cast-iron pot. It's one-pot cooking or bust for Max, and he cannot wait.

Freedom at last. The open road with his best friend for company. No hot, sweaty kitchens, shouting chefs, uppity waiters, or demanding customers. Just countryside, campsites, back-to-basics cooking, and the stars at night.

Then there was a murder....

I was looking forward to a new series about camping after I throughly enjoyed the Pitching Up series which I highly recommend . This book is terrible everything about it is unbelievable I stopped reading after 3hrs , I know it’s supposed to be a light read but I just couldn’t get into it .

Very disappointing

The concept is good & the story was fine but there were times i was close to giving up. Firstly the narrator. Not an easy voice to listen to, not a great Welsh accent & at times i think accents got confused because non-welsh characters would have random welsh twangs. As a vanlifer i also found details about the campervan inaccurate & annoying. Off the top of my head, how on earth did Min leave during the night without waking him or the dog! A big fancy heavy pot on a tiny gas ring? Nope. As for leaving a naked flame unattended, not a good idea. It’s a book i had to keep returning to just to get to the end. I might try the others but i’ll have to read them on my kindle.

The plot was ok but i struggled

The narrator was awful, it nearly prevented me from finishing it after the first chapter.The Welsh accent was terrible and in some scenes I am sure the accents were mixed up. The story was ok but I think the books in this series should be read and not listened to.

Read the books

the story seems silly but fun. nice lighthearted read, I thought. but I should have listened to the sample. The narrator is AWFUL. His voice grates on the ear and it sounds like he's reading to 4 year old. I couldn't listen beyond chapter 2. I may buy the kindle version but certainly no more audio books with this narrator.

Dreadful narrator

Would have been much more enjoyable without the horrific narration Which actually stooped me from listening to it and made it a struggle to get through

Funny unbelievable cosy mystery
