The Stranger Times - winner of the 2023 British Fantasy Award for Best Audio Work!

Love can be a truly terrible thing.


Marriages are tricky at the best of times, especially when one of you is dead.

Vincent Banecroft, the irascible editor of The Stranger Times, has never believed his wife died despite emphatic evidence to the contrary. Now, against all odds, it seems he may actually be proved right; but what lengths will he go to in an attempt to rescue her?

With Banecroft distracted, the shock resignation of assistant editor, Hannah Willis, couldn't have come at a worse time. It speaks volumes that her decision to reconcile with her philandering ex-husband is only marginally less surprising than Banecroft and his wife getting back together. In this time of crisis, is her decision to swan off to a fancy new-age retreat run by a celebrity cult really the best thing for anyone?

As if that wasn't enough, one of the paper's ex-columnists has disappeared, a particularly impressive trick seeing as he never existed in the first place.

Floating statues, hijacked ghosts, homicidal cherubs, irate starlings, Reliant Robins and quite possibly several deeply sinister conspiracies; all-in-all, a typical week for the staff of The Stranger Times.

definitely witchcraft

How does Caimh consistently write books this entertaining? He never misses. If writing side characters was an Olympic sport he'd be the Michael Phelps of whatever they decided to name it.

Brendan McDonald is unmatched

Listen, if you like Cai…I mean C. K. McDonnell, you’re going to love this book, audio or otherwise. But Brendan McDonald brings the story to the next level. His distinct voices for every character are so playful and full of life! Such a treat to listen to and really engages you in the story. 10/10!!

Beyond

Few books, combine, satire, droll, humor social commentary, vibrant characters, and inventive plots. Love the narrator, love the author, love the series, and can’t wait for the next one!

Brilliant, as usual

The only negative thing I can say about this latest book in the Stranger Times series is that, as with all the rest of CK McDonell’s books, I’m sad that it’s over.

Still fresh and funny

I liked book 2 as much as book 1. It’s surprisingly complex for such a funny book. I laughed so hard at the AR15 getting on the Supreme Court that I nearly drove off the road. Full of gems. Awesome narrator.

Loved it!

I’m only sad because I devoured it so fast. Hoped it would last me more than a couple days.
