About this listen

Russell Walker retreats from the shock of his wife's death by becoming a hermit in the woods of British Columbia. There he finds himself thrust into a precarious role as intermediary between a telepath called Smelly, so sensitive he can't stand to be near most people, and Constable Hilda, a skeptical police officer who needs Smelly's insight to track down a monstrous serial killer.©2004 Spider Robinson (P)2005 Blackstone Audiobooks Fantasy Science Fiction Suspense Fiction

Love it!

It’s a freebie from Audible so didn’t expect much but it blew my socks off! I love the characters and the plot, just so unexpected. Thoroughly recommend. Be warned there are some descriptions of violence which didn’t bother me but some folks might find it too much…can’t find any more books featuring Stinky….

A readers read

I tried this as it appeared in my suggested reads. The algorithm failed itself here, it should have recommended this title sooner, and, I hope, it’s author. It should have been bounced up and down, me, choose me!
Unique, absolutely unique. In my opinion, Gogol would have enjoyed this.
Thank you.

What an excellent audiobook!

I borrowed this audiobook because of the high scores by readers and I’m so glad I did. It was a really unusual plot which drew me in quickly and kept my attention. The author has a colourful way of describing people and events which I found very funny. The narration was great too. This was my first experience with this author but it definitely won’t be my last.

Great Audiobook

I tend to avoid audiobooks read by the author but not only a great author but a great narrator. This story had me in the first few sentences captivated right to the end. I will be hunting down more books by Spider.

Scary & deep

Don’t listen if you don’t want horrible dreams
But great listen if you like fantastic characters
