Story
Charlie knows he’s not the main character in his own story. He’s just another schmuck in the Ivy League looking to be somebody. He plays in a terrible jazz band, falls in love too easily, and struggles with the human being business. Written in a wry, comedic style, A Comedy of Nobodies: A Collection of Stories traces one fall semester in the lives of four typical but unforgettable university students who, as compensation for their existential anxieties, just want to feel understood.

Only humorous if you thing embarrassing is funny
Reviewed: 01-04-25
I do not enjoy laughing at others misfortunes. The narrator laughs at himself to hide his embarrassment but it is not funny.

I miss the “Jack” narrator
Reviewed: 12-07-24
It’s a nice cozy, but I miss the Jack narrator and the slight sauciness brought by the visits with Jack. I won’t be continuing with the series.

Story
Never in my 40 years did I think my new normal would be gluing body parts back onto ghosts and hosting a houseful of dead squatters. Thank God for superglue and a strong stomach. Never thought I’d date the Grim Reaper and that I would be the one to blow it. I mean, how idiotic does one have to be to get dumped by a dude who lives in Hell? Going about business as usual is not usual in any way. No one is who they seem to be...and to be honest, neither am I. What I’d known to be true has turned out to be myth. The angels are frightening, and the demons are hot.

Hate books that end in a cliffhanger
Reviewed: 12-03-24
Books that end just before a big reveal or resolution seem like a cheap way to get someone to commit to your next book. A very cheap way

Al MacBharrais has a most unusual job: He’s a practitioner of ink-and-sigil magic, tasked with keeping order among the gods and monsters that dwell hidden in the human world. But there’s one supernatural mystery he’s never been able to solve: years ago, someone cast twin curses on him that killed off his apprentices and drove away loved ones who heard him speak, leaving him bereft and isolated. But he’s not quite alone: As Al works to solve this mystery, his friends draw him into their own eccentric dramas.

Story
After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind." Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

The lecturer’s positions are clearly portrayed while not sliding into didacticism. The lecturer cites interesting facts to illuminate the writings of Flannery O’Conner.

Librarian Sylvia Ashe knows nothing about her past, having grown up without a father and a mother who refused to discuss him. When she stumbles upon a diary that suggests she's descended from magicians, she's skeptical. After all, magicians are special, and she's just an ordinary woman who loves books. She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won't be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.

A competent cozy mystery. The lead character is a bit too sweet and all the personal drama and anguish could be resolved by speaking up. The mystery and the magic create an enjoyable world.

The first story was very good
Reviewed: 09-30-24
The first book was good - interesting characters, well plotted, good story. The story is not as well told in the second book. The motives of the characters in the third book are muddled and the story seems to be a clunky device to keep people moving around.
