About this listen

The mysterious sleuth of California's Central Coast returns in a new episode of the Barker Mysteries

Following hot on the heels of his rescue of Carmel's mayor from the ship Wicked Joe in Monterey Noir, Barker once again finds himself in a hot mess of danger and intrigue. Seeking escape from his newfound popularity, the handsome man with no memory of his past travels deep into the Carmel Highlands, only to find adventure has followed him there.

From an encounter with the disturbing Easter Bunny Man at Pacific Grove's famous Lover's Point to a diabolical plot by the homeless denizens of Deadrent Kingdom, trouble is never very far from Barker and his collection of loyal canines. And mystery has a way of following this strange man who deliberately chooses to live in the margins of society. Barker can make anywhere a home; he is as resourceful as the pack of hounds that are his devoted companions.

Another 8 interesting episodes in the life of Barker the homeless man and his entourage of rescue dogs. Nice easy listening as he solves mysteries in and around his hometown. Living in Camelot, his home under the pier he just loves his simple life helping people out and righting wrongs. Theo Holland narrates the book perfectly. I look forward to more opportunities to catch up with the gang in future.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by wordwoose and leave this honest review.

A good concept. Reminiscent of an all time radio show, each chapter is an episode where the homeless detective solves a mystery.
While the narrator has a pleasant, evenly modulated voice, there is not a lot of distinction between the characters. I picture an old time family sitting around an older person reading a story book.
Looking forward to the next book in the series. Hopefully we learn more about Barker's mysterious past.
