About this listen

Welcome to the Crescent Motel, a waypoint in a post-apocalyptic no man's land. At the helm are Darrell, the middle-aged mustachioed manager, and his danger-sniffing dog Bruno. When he and the motel's housekeeper, Nance, discover one of the guests dead, they decide to keep the body under wraps until they root out the killer. But before they have a chance, two mysterious men appear, looking for answers. When the first body disappears and is replaced by another, Darrell and Nance realize they're in over their heads.

If you're thinking this is going to be the usual grim struggle for survival of most post apocalyptic novels think again. Oh yes, there is hardship and difficulty to obtain those items which make life more bearable, like white bread, fresh vegetables and coffee. And there is an element of fear a d violence. But this is much more fun: a closed country house-type murder mystery farce as a storm lashes down on an isolated motel, effectively isolating the guests when a body( or two, or three) is discovered.
Who is the killer?.And where did the coffee come from?

Great fun, peopled with perfectly shallow characters in an extraordinary situation confusedly milling around. A very easy, light hearted read and narrated by Jordan Gibbs who does a good job at keeping everything light hearted in this bizarre murder mystery.

My thanks to the rights holder of The Coffee Killer who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy. The first in a new series, I am very much anticipating the second in The Motel At the End of team World.
For a short, fun story with.laugh out loud moments, this book is highly recommended.
