About this listen

Life at St Cadfan’s is never dull. There’s the cellar full of unexplained corpses. There’s the struggle to find food when the island is placed under quarantine. And there’s that peculiar staircase in the cellar....

Being a demon in Hell has its own problems. There’s the increasingly impossible torture quotas to meet. There’s the entire horde of Hell waiting for you to slip up and make a mistake. And there’s that weird staircase in the service tunnels....

Brother Stephen of St Cadfan’s and Rutpsud of the Sixth Circle, natural enemies and the most unnatural of friends, join forces to solve a murder mystery, save a rare species from extinction and stop Hell itself exploding.

The fourth novel in the Clovenhoof series, Hellzapoppin’ is an astonishing comedy featuring suicidal sea birds, deadly plagues, exploding barbecues, dancing rats, magical wardrobes, King Arthur’s American descendants, mole-hunting monks, demonic possession, and way too much seaweed beer.

Good but not great

Still a thoroughly enjoyable listen especially with the still great narration by Matthew Lloyd Davies, but lacking something from the first books, not sure if I'm just missing Clovenhoof and in truth I can't put my finger on what it is...

Superb as always

As always with one of Heide and Iains books be prepared to laugh, grimmace and laugh some more. The narration (voices, timing & over all performance) suits the book brilliantly and adds to an already well written story.

Missing the bonkers Clovenhoof

Book was ok but without the nutty Clovenhoof and the residents of the flats, it fell a bit short from the 1st 3 Clovenhoof books.

Doesn't really get going

This isn't like the preceeding books. The regular characters are missing. It was hard to get into the story due in part to the way MLD voices demons. I like hearing MLD but some characters could be toned back slightly.
The story is a slow burner which never gets to much more than a glow. If I hadn't listened to books 1-3 I would have given up on it. It lacks the previous books strong characters.
