Summary

Baking. It can get a guy killed.

When a retired detective superintendent chooses to take a culinary tour of the British Isles, he hopes to find tasty treats and delicious bakes.…

…What he finds is murder, mayhem, and mystery everywhere he goes.

His dog, Rex Harrison, a former police dog fired for having a bad attitude, does his best to steer the humans in the right direction, but he cannot understand why they don’t just use their noses–the answers are right there if they would just employ their strongest sense!

However, solving a few mysteries won’t get them out of trouble, for there is a master criminal behind many of the crimes they encounter, and they’ve just caught his attention.

Their adventure is getting deadlier with every destination, but these two sleuths are not going to be put off. With Rex’s keen sense of smell and Albert’s decades of experience as a detective, this pair are on the trail.

Or are they being lured into a trap?

One thing is for certain, they had better figure it out soon or they might be the next victims.

Absolutely wonderful stories!

I have thoroughly enjoyed these books. The adventures of Albert and Rex have been fun, quirky and exciting. The characters are great and the performance of Charles Robert Fox is fantastic! I am just annoyed I have to wait ages for the next lot of books. As binging all 10 books in a row is very good and just easy listening cozy mystery entertainment. I can't wait for the next series of books.

The best, most astute and funniest dog of any series!

Traditional British cozy crime series with wonderful characters and storylines. By far the absolute best was Rex the police dog. The most I have laughed aloud in years! Endearing humans too, but the very astute dog, Hilarious!

WHAT? It’s already finished???

Loved these delightful adventures! I could happily listen to them whenever I was without worry. I do believe my subcontractors are also “addicted” to Albert & Rex, as well!

✨✨✨Super fun

I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this series. The story lines were intriguing and I found myself being drawn into each story and caring about the outcome. Not something that always happens. I appreciated that the narrator’s voice was in line with what I would expect from a 78 yr old man. It made the listening even more enjoyable.
I am saddened by the fact that the next books in the series are not available with narration though as I would like to continue the series. Maybe it happen at a later time.

Thank you Steve Higgs for this enjoyable series.
