Marvelous

I really enjoyed this book, as I am the whole series. The author has a way of making a plot that should be weird really work and each book is so totally different from the last. I am lovely the way she is coming up with new plots for the characters to face with there dry wit and humour. The characters are growing with each book and as they develop you like them a little bit more. I did think it might get a bit confusing having two Alfreds's in the picture but this is not the case. Can't wait to start book 4 to see what the author has in store for them next. I would recommend you start with book one because the author doesn't waste much time going over previous capers (it is mentioned but not in any great detail) and I think it helps to know the background behind the characters, also it great fun.
Nancy is able to talk Alfred into taking time off work and going to a dreaded comic book convention, his worst nightmare. That is until future Alfred comes to tell him Nancy dies in his time line and he MUST stop it. Alfred soon finds out that no matter what he tries he gets another visit and so enlists help from an unlikely source, Josh Nancy's ex marine/ex boyfriend. Surely the two of them can keep her safe? Alfred thinks getting Nancy away from work, where all the trouble started, should keep her alive but with a ruthless killer on there heels not even costumes and disguises will help. There is only one thing for it....to go boldly where no man has gone before...Well except for all the geek's.
I liked the narrator and hope he sticks with the series because he has slowly worked his way into the voice of Alfred and I can't imagine anyone else doing it now.

Great third book in the series

MarvelousCon & Tax Cons, book three in The Travelling Taxman Series by Rachel Ford, read by John Carter Aimone.
Wow, Rachel can really come up with new and different scenarios within the parameters she set and the characters given.

Book number three focuses more on the budding relationship between Alfred Favero and Nancy Abbott, Senior Tax Analyst and Lead IT Analyst for the IRS.
Alfred has to battle his jealousy of Josh, Nancy’s ex boyfriend and now good friend, which is egged on by his analyst colleague Justin; but he also grows as a person as he has started to open up to new experiences out of love for his girlfriend. To this end he is going with her to a SciFi Convention and has even agreed to Cosplay and finds that he can enjoy himself.

Before they go Nancy finds a discrepancy during a routine search through some charity fund files, she contacts Alfred to talk about it, but is prevented from giving him details as she is murdered. Grief stricken Alfred uses the time travelling device to go back and warn his past self of the danger and helps him prevent the murder. This initial prevention of the killing is not the end of it and the adventure carries on at the MarvelousCon. Josh, also finds out about the threat and Alfred reluctantly agrees to his involvement of Nancy’s protection.

I was going to say that I liked this book better than the second one, but they are so different that they appeal in different ways. Another great read/listen.

It is good to see that the same narrator has continued to read the book and, as I mentioned in the previous reviews I have found increasing the playback speed to x1.10 improved the listening experience for me.

I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review of my own opinion of it.
