Publisher's summary

Chicago, 1932. Mick Oberon may look like just another private detective, but beneath the fedora and the overcoat, he's got pointy ears and he's packing a wand.

Oberon's used to solving supernatural crimes, but the latest one's extra weird. A mobster's daughter was kidnapped sixteen years ago, replaced with a changeling, and Mick's been hired to find the real child. The trail's gone cold, but what there is leads Sideways, to the world of the Fae, where the Seelie Court rules. And Mick's not really welcome in the Seelie Court any more. He'll have to wade through Fae politics and mob power struggles to find the kidnapper – and of course it's the last person he expected.

Performed by Eric Messner, Ren Kasey, Terence Aselford, David Coyne, Nora Achrati, David Jourdan, Kimberly Gilbert, Lily Beacon, Bob Payne, Andy Brownstein, Bradley Smith, Colleen Delany, Michael John Casey, Andy Clemence, Richard Cutting, Christopher Graybill, Nick DePinto, Matthew Keenan, Nanette Savard, Elliot Dash, Tim Carlin, Scott McCormick, Jeff Allin, Steve Wannall, Dylan Lynch, Casie Platt, Tara Giordano, Mort Shelby.

Loved it

Enjoyable on many levels. Especially taken with the lingo of the time & the authors scene description. Very visual.

It’s fast paced, easy to listen to and funny but also serious and emotionally engaging.

Hard-boiled urban fantasy

This was surprisingly good. There’s a lot of clichés, but the main plot is interesting and different. The “graphic” might be a touch too graphic in some spots, but it certainly heightens the intensity of the story. Looking forward to number two!

First Series with a Fae that I Liked.

A classy detective story with a magical twist. The world-building was as interesting as it was low-key, the intrigue was well delivered, and the ending was solid. I could listen to this audiobook more than once. Narrators did an amazing job.

I have been looking for this for years.

The fae, the proper terms and signs of folklore, a gritty detective that doesn't become part of a romance novel. Literally what I've been asking from anyone for years, thank you.

Fairy noir?

If you take 1930s style Chicago mob stories, with Gats and fedoras and Italian muscle saying “youz guys,” add magic and a Fae detective cut from the sam cloth as Sam Spade, and then set the story to old school radio sound effects, then this is the result.

Given that it’s book 1, I didn’t fault it too much for focusing entirely on MC Mick Oberon.
The constant music playing in the background was at times a bit too much, but the graphic audio format worked pretty well. It wasn’t half bad, although I could have done without the bursts of F bombs.
