Publisher's summary

December 1874

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are looking forward to a traditional Christmas with plenty of food, alcohol, and the odd duel. But then Death meets Elizabeth, a young girl with unusual gifts, who needs their protection.

When other children start going missing throughout London and the Prime Minister himself asks for their help, they have to put down the brandy and mince pies to solve the mystery while—as usual—saving the world from an unspeakable horror.

Character development

The first three books in this series told one story, and I would characterize that story as a fun romp inspired by several 1980’s pop culture classics.

This box set contains three books, and each book is a separate story that gives more depth to the characters introduced in the first series. The humor is still there, but it feels like the overall story gains some maturity, for lack of a better term.

I fell in love with these books several years ago and was thrilled but anxious when an audio version was released. Poor narration can ruin even the best books. Dan Calley did a wonderful job. I feel like his narration added texture and extra humor (humour for our UK friends) to the stories, since I at least rarely conjure accents for characters when I read stories in print. Dan not only gave each character its own voice, but I believe (ignorant American, here) he even used distinct regional dialects. I thoroughly enjoyed this iteration of Dave Turner’s books.

Death has a near-life experience and all the bodily functions along with it

Liked a little back story got threaded back into the continuing story and Dave's circle is starting to expand a little bit
