Please welcome Dan Evans to the site. He’s tackling the funnier side of crime with his book, The Casebook of D.I. Snaith:
The first compilation of the adventures of England’s most peerless pig, Detective Inspector Snaith. Cracking crime in a Britain just a few years in the future Snaith works alongside his colleagues the body-dismorphic-disordered D.I. Wilton, the surgically pixillated D.I. Harris and their boss-stroke-guvnor, the Gaffer. In spite of a crippling addiction to cocktails, and the most machiavellian of ex wives Snaith always gets results. Whatever it takes and by any means necessary. He may be a bad man… but he’s a damn good copper.
Hard boiled, humorous, and just a little surreal.
Dan has made all of the episodes of this serialized audiobook available. If you get a custom feed, we’ll send those down to you one at a time. Or you can figure out what it takes to get them all out of the default feed. The choice is yours and the audiobook is free!

Hmm it was a short listen, but not really my sort of story. A series of loosely connected stories that attempted to be over the top sarcastically humorous I guess is how the book could be described. Generally it just didn’t excite me though, but I prefer longer fiction as opposed to short stories.

A hugely enjoyable listen. Very funny. Reminded me of the sadly missed Douglas Adams. A series of unconnected stories which were packed with wonderfully funny lines that had me skipping my player back to relisten a number of times. They’re also clever satirical takes on aspects of modern society and culture. MORE PLEASE!

Simply hilarious! Agree with Douglas Adams comparison – high quality conceptual gags come thick and fast – as do disarmingly elegant turns of phrase and enjoyably cynical filth. I was either chuckling or lol-ing throughout. Neat take on ‘going out’ culture too. More please Mr Evans!

“Hilarious” would be my word of choice here as well – I hope there’s more to come. Especially the D***a day story was dead on. [Posting has been subject to editing by United Kingdom Home office in order to conform to the 1982 Official Secrets Act]

Although the stories were O.K. I found the amount of Clichés used in the stories becoming more annoying the more I listened.
