Mysterious Happenings and Conundrums Inc. eBook Austin Miller Reviews
This was a magical fun light listen featuring a sorcerer private detective. No great literature and for me a take it or leave it book. It would be a fun listen in a car trip with kids as I think that both kids and adults would enjoy it The kids would like the magical realm with the story book characters and the adults would enjoy the satire and humor.
I would of liked for the book to be a bit longer with a more complex plot.
This is a fun ,short book to listen to.Barbara Benjamin-Creel does a fine job narrating the voices in this story.There are animals running ferrys,people being killed,etc.
Tom is a detective who recieves his mail via a paper airplane thru a window.He flunked out of REAL detective school and the big boys don't want to play w/him.He falls into a murder investigation when he is called upon to investigate a theft of an art piece.The plot thickens from there,as does Toms waistline,as he is a gluton and proud of it.It's funny and fresh.Give it a listen.

Although this reads like a children's book, don't be fooled. It is a fantasy. It is a fable. It is a gentle satire. It is a little jewel box filled with treasures, and it is an absolute delight, but it is not a book for children.
The setting is a place where beavers run ferries, and ladies live in mushroom houses; where magic is a part of everyday life (and crime), and where when guys go to the local "club" they play ..croquet! It is also a mystery, though, and, in its context, the author follows all the rules for mysteries, so that we *could* solve it before the intrepid? Sleuth does. But, along the way, the author touches on a truly broad range of topics, from crime fiction to law enforcement, to philosophy and art, laughing at many things, and putting them into a perspective that shows sometimes hilarious aspects to them, and even more, to our assumptions about them. Nothing is beneath this author's scrutiny, and that scrutiny is both revealing and, in its way, compassionate.
I chortled my way through this little gem, and thoroughly enjoyed the exquisite narration, as well. The narrator really does use her voice and skills to enhance this charming story, and she does, to perfection.
I give both book and narrator 5 out of 5 stars, and dare you to read this and NOT crack a smile. (you'll laugh out loud, I think, actually.)
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for this unbiased review from AudioBookBlast dot com.
