Five Dead Herrings

Quest Investigations, Book 1

De: E.J. Russell

Narrado por: Greg Boudreaux

Something’s definitely fishy about this case….

On my last stakeout for Quest Investigations, I nearly got clotheslined by a grove of angry dryads. I expected my bosses to reprimand me, but instead they handed me my first solo assignment. Me! Matt Steinitz, the only human on the Quest roster!

Okay, so the mission isn’t exactly demanding. Obviously, the bosses wanted to give me something they think I can’t screw up. I’m determined to show them what I can do, however, so I dive right in with no complaints.

At first glance, it looks as simple as baiting a hook: A selkie’s almost-ex-husband is vandalizing his boat with unwanted deliveries of deceased sea life. All I have to do is document the scene, tell the ex to cease and desist, and present the bill for property damages. Boom. Mission accomplished, another Quest success, and as a bonus, I get to keep my job.

But then things get…complicated. Suspicious undercurrents muddy up my oh-so-easy case. Nothing is as clear as it should be. And the biggest complication? My inappropriate attraction to the client, who may not be as blameless as he claims.

Turns out those dead herrings aren’t the only things that stink about this situation.

Dammit.

Five Dead Herrings is the first in the Quest Investigations M/M paranormal mystery series, a spinoff of E.J. Russell’s Mythmatched paranormal rom-com story world. It contains no on-page sex or violence, and although there is a romantic subplot, it is not a romance.

Cute story!

This book is fun. I love the human and sexy selkie pairing. Matt is adorable and I can't wait to see where his and Lochlan's relationship goes. I love the narrator for the audiobook. Greg Boudreaux is fantastic!

oh Greg boudreaux

if this was an hour longer I would of not been so angry at the cliff hanger

but Greg boudreaux's voice is heavenly

Good

I liked it. The Narrator did a great job. I was especially appreciative since I could not get through the last 2 books I purchased because of what I felt was terrible narration. The last book before this one I had really like in Kindle, but the narration in Audible was.....

This is not a genre I follow, but this book was so well done, I bought the 2nd in the series.

Sweet, easy listen

Lovely, sweet, low-angst fun ... really a pleasure to discover this new-to-me author! I'm definitely investigating more of her books, because I love an easy listen that doesn't get me worried or tied up in knots. I just want happy easy friendly stories with loving gay magical people that have nice endings as a background to my day.

So good.

Quirky and funny fantasy world with plots and twists galore.

Amazing narrations.
Very enjoyable. Highly recommendable.
