Review by Rox Burkey

Crimes Get Solved When They Send in the Clowns!

Whiskey Leavins weaves an intriguing mystery in the Rock Cobbler case to solve clown murders. Clowning certainly works the humorous side of the listener, but the threads of mystery and suspense are superb from start to finish.

The character of Rock Cobbler is detailed enough that he feels like the guy you want to hug. The personality is defined, one layer at a time, with honest statements about how this winning detective arrived at this point in life. He admits nothing, denies everything, and masterfully creates counter-accusations.

Combining clown lore, reality, history, and education is masterfully combined in this crime fiction. The community and Clown University descriptions are humorous and keep this listener wanting more. Learning about clown history made this tale fascinating. The clown characters were unique and delightfully identifiable. The adult content delivered wit, humor, and outrageous imagery even amid murder, mayhem, and deceit.

Duffy P. Weber’s voice acting was flawless to the point of perfection. The delightfully unique character voices got delivered with no issues or inconsistencies to interrupt the immersive delivery. As a listener, I would follow this narrator to any story in the thriller genre. The combination of Leavins and Weber rates five stars (though that isn’t enough)—well done.

There were no issues with the production or quality of this audiobook.
