Publisher's summary

Baking. It can get a guy killed.

A shadowy master criminal has been kidnapping experts from the food industry and stealing both food and equipment. The crimes are so unrelated no one in the world had noticed the connections.

No one except Albert Smith, that is.

He’s got almost nothing to go on, but with every place he visits, he gets just a little closer to the truth. He’s not working alone though, his faithful sidekick, Rex Harrison the former police dog is right there with him. Can the two of them pull off the impossible and find the man Albert chose to dub ‘the Gastrothief’?

Well, maybe, but it’s not going to be easy. Not least because the nation’s police suspect Albert of the very crimes he wants them to investigate.

On the run, far from home, and almost completely alone, can they turn their darkest hour into their greatest triumph?

Love Rex!

I love the fact that, as the synopsis tells us, there is no “cussing or explicit sex or violence.” All the stories are interesting and enjoyable, and most of them included a great twist!

Love the dog

I loved hearing the dog’s thoughts. I think my dog would relate. Interesting stories about different locations and what they are famous for.

Dog interaction

I really enjoyed the understanding developed by Albert Smith and Rex through all 15 books and short stories. Well done.

The Best

This series and the first 10 books series before it was by far the best thing I’ve read/listened to on Audible or anywhere else. Just delightful!

Love Knowing What the Dog Is Thinking!

The German Shepherd shares his thoughts on every crime. That makes these books a lovely, light-hearted listen.

Highly entertaining.

What a surprise this collection has been. Not being the genre I usually choose, I was only expecting and hoping for a little something to pass the time. I couldn’t have been more wrong. These stories have been a fun adventure that has been hilarious at times and always interesting. I shall miss Rex Harrison and Albert Smith more than I can say. Would it be too much to ask for another 10 books? The narrator was beyond excellent.

Rex is a hoot!

great stories especially love the short at the end about Rex's start as a police k9. but sometimes the names used seem to get confused and be used in wrong places but nit enough to ruin the books once you realize what's happening
