About this listen

Who can you trust when no one is who they seem? Aided by his wife Ria and friend Dev, Partho’s long overdue vacation on the US east coast is finally on. But mysteries have a way of tracking him down, especially the sinister ones. It started out as a cheerful family outing to a Spanish restaurant on Thanksgiving Eve. Somewhere in between the entrée and the dessert, it has turned into a calamity, embroiling them in a sinister plot involving an escaped convict, assassinations, and corporate greed and malfeasance. When Partho’s expedition becomes unwittingly entangled with the target everyone is looking for - an escaped death-row inmate - he has no other choice but to tackle it head-on. Will their vacation turn deadly before they can solve the case?

Another adventure with Partho and Dev, India's answer to Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson, when the unconventional detective, his wife and brother-in-law, fly from Calcutta to the U.S.A. They intended to holiday after Partho has presented his new invention at a scientific convention. Instead there is gunfire, explosions and kidnapping. And humour.

These stories are fun, the characters quirky, the pace fast. Narrator, Joseph G.Deak, again assumes the persona of Dev to tell the story in the first person, and his performance is decidedly quirky, too. Using a slow drawl for Dev and a variety of very strange accents and timbers for everyone else, this reader found it hard to concentrate on the story itself, though he certainly added to the humour. However, a less eccentric delivery would be prefered. Some simple sound effects, such as gunfire and police sirens, also add to the audible landscape.

My thanks to the rights holder of Escaped, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. I thoroughly enjoy this series but feel the episodes would be better read in print form - hence the three star rating
