Gobbelino London & a Scourge of Pleasantries

Gobbelino London, PI, Book 1

De: Kim M. Watt

Narrado por: Paul Tyreman

Find a missing book. That was the job the woman in the Doc Martens gave us. Easy money, right? Only now it seems she's actually an ancient, powerful sorcerer, and the book is a Book of Power that doesn't want to be found. It wants to tear reality apart at the seams, and it'll use anyone it can to do it.

So now we've got one spectacularly displeased sorcerer, a hungry, still-missing book, a dentist with bad hygiene, and a neighbourhood having some reality issues to deal with. Plus about a day before the book turns our world - and us - inside out.

We've totally got this. I hope.

A cat, a snake and a little old lady

A missing magic book leads to a troubled paradise. Interesting world, well developed main characters and British humor. A different take on the cat detective.

A unique twist on PI work

Have fun and creative story that takes twist and turns through different dimensions. So glad it’s a trilogy love the character development.

Fun story with good characterization

I bought this book on a whim and I am glad I did. The story fits into the humorous fantasy genre. The characters are well-developed and likable. While the resolution of the story is predictable, that is part of what makes it fun.

Cute story with a cat protagonist

As fantasy goes it was a novel concept, heh, novel. The characters were a little light on being fleshed out but they worked. The story seemed simple enough and was enjoyable. I could see this being a good book for a young adult or a mental vacation. The narrator did a good job.

Delightful series

I was a bit hesitant because I thought it might feel too YA or young, but I do like urban fantasy and detective/mystery, so I gave it a shot and enjoyed it so much I promptly devoured the whole series. It’s very charming and funny -with just enough of an edge. Great characters, great pace, and just an all around delight. Only downside is I read (listened to) them all so fast and now I’m sad it’s over. I will definitely find other works by this author to listen to now.

Good

Didn’t grab my attention, everything about this book was fine. Story, performance, etc. it somehow just wasn’t very engaging or interesting.

such fun!

So unique having a cat doing the narrating of the story. I loved it and the story was just great. The narrator did an awesome job too.

Cozy and wonderful!

If you’re looking for something a little different with just a touch of magic, this book is for you. Well written and a very fun plot, I’m moving right on to the next one!

Interesting idea a cat as a gumshoe

It was a great read that got a little confusing at time. The talking cat really throws people off

Great Listen

Highly recommend reading this. Narration was on point. Story was interesting. Definitely going to read the next.
