About this listen

 Winner of the British Book Awards, Author of the Year, 2004.
Winner of the CWA Dagger in the Library Award, 2004.

In the sequel to Portuguese Irregular Verbs, our hero, Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld, is the unlikely choice to address veterinarians in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas; is dogged by dachshunds; becomes embroiled with that notorious Coptic schismatic, the Duke of Johannesburg (and his victim the Patriarch of Alexandria); and finally ends up being mobbed as the star attraction on a Mediterranean cruise ship.

Made me snigger

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Auf jeden Fall! Definitely!

What did you like best about this story?

The locations, the ironic undertone of the character descriptions, the insight into the uptight German professor's mind.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Predatory German widows on the cruise ship! The sausage dog lecture was a delight!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

More books in the series, please, Mr. McCall Smith

Hugh Laurie’s voices and reading bring this funny story to the level of a comedy classic, there are laugh out loud moments.
