Easy and Fun Listening

I have enjoyed the Blue Moon series. It is easy to enjoy while working. The humor is good and mysteries fun to follow. I would recommend!

Very engaging

the characters were easy to enjoy. I liked in a lot. please continue the series.

Narrator is awful but story is great

The narrator, like another reviewer said, is like a British William Shatner. There are random pauses in sentences (he is already speaking very slowly so the pauses are even MORE awkward than shatner) and it makes it nearly impossible to listen to… but I’ve found a work around: listen to it at 1.2-1.5x speed and the random pauses are significantly less awkward. The story is great, though. Just wish they had either kept the narrator from the first two books or found someone different to do these ones.

Excellent characters and story.

I was not ready for this series to end. The cast of well-drawn, query characters caught up in fast-paced and bizarre-but-believable lives is non-stop entertainment. The narrator was terrific.

Poor recording quality

I originally gave these books a higher review, however I have been getting frustrated at the poor recording quality. There are multiple times in the recording where the audio jumps and you are left feeling as though you have missed something. In one book (book 3 I believe) it repeats a good long section. Very annoying.
Lastly I should say that there are other stories that intersperse this “tempest only” series which, not having known that prior, leaves out large gaps and plot lines that are referred to but leave the listener/reader confused about what had happened. I would recommend that the publishers actually listen to the entirety of the recording for quality control as well as include a chronological series bundle or at the very least better information on the order the books should be read.

Steve is hilarious....his narrator is horrible

the story is funny I love the rwo Doxies.... love Tempest and his family and friends......the Narator socks big baboon balls.....if I want to hear Willam Shatner I would watch star tracknor TJ Hooker...but this British version sion sucks ass
need someone who flows when they read ...not..someone.....whon...is choppy when...they read a sentence
dunno maybe he owed Mr. Fox a bit of cash and had him read...for us
..I look forward.to more bluemoon books...just get some one else.to read.

A few glitches but worth the time and purchase

I enjoyed the continuation of the detective’s escapades but . . .
The performer sounded too old for the 30ish Tempest which made it little less pleasing to listen too. (Although the voice was perfect for the Mr. Higg’s Albert Smith Culinary Adventures series.) It made it hard to envision the story because the voice was incongruent with the character’s profile. Also, there were a number of audio glitches. And it was frustrating to have the end of one book seem to lead into the next book, ‘In the Doodoo with Voodoo’, but that book wasn’t included in the box set. It felt like I missed a part of the story that was referenced in future stories.
But even with what seems like a bunch of negatives, I enjoyed the series and will continue listening as they become available thru Audible.

I love the supporting players (especially the dogs) and the humorous interaction between Tempest and company.

ugh! the narration! He. stops. at. awkward...times. And the voice just sounds old. Too old for Tempest. I changed my equalizer around and the sound quality is better and now it doesn't sound like he's on the other side of a window. But the story and characters are so good I'll stick with it.

A lot of entertainment

To start, I should mention that I read most of the stories previously. The narrator did a good job. The collection loses a star for technical issues caused by pasting the individual audios together that could easily have been caught.

I was given this audiobook by the author for free and have voluntarily left this review.

Great box set

The entire series is great. I would have preferred less talk about sex but it is part of the persona. Highly recommend all if Steve Higgs books and Charles Robert Fox is one of my favorite narrators.
