“Amazing cozy mystery/urban fantasy
I loved this book. As a cozy mystery, it had the typical food stories, romance, dogs, and murder. But that is where any similarly to other cozy mysteries ends for this cozy is also urban fantasy with monsters and inhumans. And puns. Lot’s of puns. Author Wilkie Martin successfully blends the two genres into a great story. This is the fourth book of the series but the first one I read. Martin manages to explain everything on the run so the book works well as a stand alone. I recommend this book for fans of either genre. Readers of the Discworld series may also enjoy this series as Martin writes similarly to Sir Terry Pratchett.”Stephen Goldberg
“Wow, Wilkie Martin delivers another finely crafted tapestry of un-human mystery with a dash of incisive wit and provocative humor. Andy is a bit dense at times, almost too dense but seems to provide the comedic relief throughout the story line. The supporting characters are built solidly within the bounds of the movement which is elegantly constructed to provide a multitude of storyline threads. A fun ride that is hard to put down.”Anders Mikkelsen

Wilkie Martin and his book Inspector Hobbes and the Blood
Memorable and engaging characters take Inspector Hobbes and the Blood by Wilkie Martin to the Top 2 position on Amazon in the US.
PRLog (Press Release) – Apr. 23, 2014 – CIRENCESTER, U.K. — Inspector Hobbes and the Blood by Cirencester author Wilkie Martin is the first in his unhuman series of humorous mysteries. It has reached the number 2 position in Amazon.com’s Comedy bestseller category for Kindle books. It has also featured as the Top 14 book for British Detectives and Top 27 for Cozy Mysteries.
Wilkie said ‘my publisher, The Witcherley Book Company, ran a small promotion on the books and I’m delighted with the results, especially in the USA. The main character in the books was inspired by Alan Titchmarch’s portrayal of a Neanderthal during a documentary. The books narrator, Andy Caplet, fills the same role as Dr Watson in Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Homes stories since the eponymous Hobbes is so different it provides the reader with a way into his character, although Andy has far more character flaws than Dr Watson.’
It is set in the Cotswolds and is a story of murder, mayhem and missing violins, introducing a cast of memorable and engaging characters, who also feature in the following book, Inspector Hobbes and the Curse.
Cotswold Life’s Katie Jarvis reviewed the book as ‘odd, inventive, and genuinely very funny indeed’ and other reviews love the characters and humour, demanding more in the series. The third book Inspector Hobbes and the Root of All Evil is planned for publication later this year. They are suitable for anyone with a quirky sense of humor, from teenagers upwards. The first two books in the unhuman series are available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback. Wilkie’s profile on Amazon has links to the books http://www.amazon.com/Wilkie-Martin/e/B00CJ01NTG. The paperbacks are also available from other online retailers, or to order from bookshops.

‘Sherlock Holmes Inspired Funny Book, “Inspector Hobbes And The Blood”, Free On Kindle 24-26 August’
22 August 2013 http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=179084
Inspector Hobbes and the Blood by Wilkie Martin
On August 24/ 25/ 26, book-lovers can download the Sherlock Homes inspired comedy crime fantasy novel, “Inspector Hobbes and the Blood”, for FREE. This download is available for Kindle or on any PC, tablet or smartphone with a Kindle APP.
Cotswolds, UK – Wilkie Martin’s debut “Inspector Hobbes and the Blood” (publisher The Witcherley Book Company) is FREE on Amazon Kindle on 24-26 August (starting/ending midnight PST). It is a fast-paced comedy crime fantasy with lots of ludicrous and humorous situations, and lashings of good food. Set in an English Cotswolds town, it is a diverting light read and was shortlisted for the Impress Prize for New Writers in 2012. It is suitable for a wide audience from young adult to those of a more mature age, and should give many a good laugh.
“Inspector Hobbes can get rather wild, especially when he’s hungry, and I was unable to get into his mind,” says Wilkie, “as his thought processes are so different to those of normal people. Conan-Doyle used Dr. Watson as a narrator to solve the problem of explaining the unusual mind of Sherlock Holmes, so I decided to use one too. Mine, Andy Caplet, is a local reporter who gets assigned to Inspector Hobbes. He’s clumsy and struggles against his many flaws which lead to him becoming the main character; it is Andy who is often, unintentionally, the focus of the comedy”. Wilkie explains more behind the characters in his blog.
“Inspector Hobbes and the Blood” is the first in the ‘unhuman’ series featuring Inspector Hobbes, and Andy Caplet. It has 5 star reviews on Amazon and has been described as an “entertaining and amusing tale” by Amazon Top Reviewer, Brett H, who says it has “more double-entendres than a Carry On film” and an “action packed climax”. The Free Kindle promotion is a way of introducing more readers to the weird and wonderful ‘unhuman’ world before the second book “Inspector Hobbes and the Curse” is published in October.
The FREE Kindle book can also be read on PCs, Macs, tablets and smartphones using FREE software from Amazon. It is also available in paperback from Amazon and good bookshops; and a draw for one of 5 FREE paperback copies is being run by GoodReads.com (http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/61198) and can be entered using a Goodreads or Facebook logon until September 9.
“Being Human Is The Least We Normally Expect From A Policeman,” Says Debut Novelist Wilkie Martin
24 July 2013 http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=177753
Release of debut novel, Inspector Hobbes and the Blood, inspired by Neanderthal programme and first in unhuman series from Impress Prize for New Writers shortlisted Wilkie Martin.
Cotswolds, UK – The central character in Wilkie Martin’s debut novel, Inspector Hobbes and the Blood was inspired by seeing British TV presenter and gardener, Alan Titchmarsh, walking around London’s Oxford Street made-up to look like a Neanderthal. “I thought, what if there really were non-human people, not necessarily Neanderthals, but ‘unhumans’, walking around; they’d need a job, and why not the police? Being human is the least we normally expect from a policeman. Although it was some time ago, the image struck a chord and the idea stuck with me, and with other people who found the character of Inspector Hobbes appealing,” says Wilkie.
Inspector Hobbes and the Blood, is a fast-paced comedy crime fantasy with lots of ludicrous and humorous situations, and lashings of good food. Set in an English Cotswolds town, it is a diverting light read for all ages that was shortlisted for the Impress Prize for New Writers in 2012. It will be published by The Witcherley Book Company on 26 July 2013 in paperback (ISBN: 9780957635104, £7.99) and Kindle (ISBN: 9780957635111, £4.99) on Amazon, and in paperback from other online retailers, or bookshops.
It is the first in the ‘unhuman’ series featuring Inspector Hobbes, and is narrated by Andy Caplet, a failed journalist. “Andy was a way of getting into and explaining an unusual mind and allowing the reader to relate to Hobbes through a normal, if very fallible, human being,” says Wilkie, who explains more behind the characters in his blog (http://blog.wilkiemartin.com).
The original Alan Titchmarsh programme was broadcast on the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/place-lancashire/plain/A21606040) in 2004, and was covered by The Sun newspaper (http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/94854/Dya-dig-my-new-image.
