Publisher's summary

Henri is quite accustomed to dangerous and unusual cases landing in his lap. Being partnered to the Shinigami Detective likely has something to do with it. What he is not accustomed to is the queen herself marching into his lab and handing them such a case.

Former Royal Mage Joseph Burtchell was found dead in his home, all signs pointing to murder. However, it’s in question as to how the murderer accomplished the deed—the house was locked, the wards fully up, and the body bearing a peculiar wound.

It’s a locked room mystery, one with a suspiciously absent murder weapon and lack of suspects. Henri’s left baffled. Jamie’s excited, relishing the challenge the case represents.

Who’s powerful enough to thwart a royal mage’s wards and murder him undetected?

Steampunk noire fun

The two (3?) different narrators is hard to pull off in audio. Between having 2 readers and very different speech patterns for each character, this one pulls it off without having to state it outright at the beginning of each chapter. Great series for anyone who enjoys a light fantasy/mystery that mixes all the modern technology with Victorian proprietary. Can’t wait for the rest of the series to come to Audible.

Splendid series

I loved this mystery series. The narrators were great and made the book come to life. They both put a lot effort into it and I did not have a complaint or a suggestion that could have made it any better. The author wrote a great plot and wonderful characters. This will be a series a listen to many times. I hope the rest of the audiobooks in the series come quickly so I can get them.

Fun world creation

English-European gentility utilizing odd magical aspects combined with a plain speaking, honorable, modern detective. Funny mysteries. I hope you can get more on Audible.

Wonderful All Around

I have fallen in love with the series. it is a great mix of fantasy in Sherlock Holmes style story. I hope that they produce audiobooks of the rest of the series very soon. The narrators in this series are also really exceptional and I love the banter. Hope to see the next audiobook pop up soon! 🤞🏼😁🤞🏼

Love this series!

I absolutely adore this series. The writing style and editing is fantastic and the voice actors do an awesome job with all the various characters. This is one of the few series I repeatedly go back to and re-read and replay. I definitely recommend!
