Publisher's summary

When the Night Foxes boldly break into the Fourth Precinct’s Evidence Building, it causes quite the stir. The break-in is daring enough, but their method shreds the magical wards and protections on the building like confetti paper. To say the police are ‘alarmed’ by this is the understatement of the century.

As a Magical Examiner, Henri Davenforth is, of course, immediately called in. Quite to his astonishment, Captain Gregson has him work the case like a detective. Even more astounding, he assigns Henri a partner - The Shinigami Detective.

The woman is famous for killing the most destructive rogue witch of the century, and no one is quite certain where she’s from. Every officer in the precinct is either in awe of her, or a little frightened by her. Henri is just baffled. What is he supposed to do with a partner?

Hopefully, killing one witch makes Jamie Edwards enough of an expert on magic to be helpful, as the thieves aren’t content to just break into one building. They, in fact, seem to have an agenda - as with each theft, they take magical objects. It’s all mounting to a dangerously powerful, magical construct, capable of toppling the wards on any building.

And no one has any idea what the thieves true target is.

Great Steampunk series!

Witty and well written series. Likable and amusing characters. Enjoyed the narrators who voiced the characters. Looking forward to the rest of the books on Audible.

Love the story! Fantastic acting by narrators.

I had read this story on Kindle and bought the audible version because I was going on a road trip with family. This was an excellent choice as both narrators brought the characters to life. Excellent pacing.

Magic, mystery, and personality!

I had a hard time putting this story down. The characters just seem to bloom on the page. I loved every minute!

Wonderful!!

I absolutely LOVE this series and these narrators!! I love this book I was so excited after I read this to see it was an audiobook! These narrators have made it to my top 5 favorites and I have to admit that I’ve listened to this book at least 5 times since I bought it as well as the next two in the series. I just love these characters and this wonderful world they live in. My kids love this series as well and since I listen to a lot of books while driving it’s always nice to have something the can listen to and enjoy!

Great series

Love the world building. My only complaint is that the Female MC has to explain a lot of earth culture to Dr Davenforth, but then he will use idioms or proverbs that are typical in earth culture. Hope they continue with the series on Audible. I’ve read all the books. The narrators do a wonderful job.

More!!!

Why are there only three of this series in Audible? There are currently eight books, and only three have been recorded? Come ON people! I can't be the only on to want more. I find the interaction between the two readers delightful. I WANT MORE! Please?
