About this item
'I was grateful for having been born human' There's going to be trouble. Andy Caplet's wife goes away, someone is out to get him, and he loses nearly everything in a storm. Amazing both himself and his unhuman friend Inspector Hobbes, he heroically rescues flood victims and uncovers something shocking. Is Andy being set up for blackmail by the apparently charming young woman who attempts to seduce him, or is something even more sinister afoot? Hobbes certainly believes so, and he's getting worried. This is the fourth in Wilkie Martin's unhuman series of cosy comedy crime fantasies. Praise for Wilkie Martin 'Odd, inventive, and genuinely very funny indeed' Katie Jarvis, Cotswold Life 'I enjoy how silly everything is.' Jo Ann Hakola, The Book Faerie .
About the Author
Wilkie Martin is a bestselling comedy writer. He lives in the Cotswolds, UK with his partner in a town remarkably similar to the fictional Sorenchester of his unhuman series, although he has never come across a policeman there like Inspector Hobbes.
He loves cooking, especially curries which is why his characters tend to like things spicy and despite living as far away from the coast as is possible in the UK, he is a qualified scuba diving instructor.
There are now 4 books in his unhuman series of comedy cozy mystery fantasy novels, described by Cotswold Life magazine as 'odd, inventive and genuinely very funny indeed':
I - Inspector Hobbes and the Blood
II - Inspector Hobbes and the Curse
III - Inspector Hobbes and the Gold Diggers
IV - Inspector Hobbes and the Bones
They can be read standalone but are best read in order.
Or find the first 3 together in his ebook bundle - First Ever Unhuman Bundle.
He also has a little book of silly verse - Relative Disasters - this chronicles the various humorous but fatal mishaps that happen to family members.

Inspector Hobbes and the Blood was shortlisted for the Impress Prize for New Writers 2012.
