Grimstone Reckoning

Croft & Wesson, Book 3

De: Brad Magnarella

Narrado por: James Patrick Cronin

The end of an era

In the months since I started mentoring fellow wizard James Wesson, he’s grown into an adept magic-user, less likely to shoot from the hip. We’ve also become good friends.

But when he fumbles what was to have been our final case together – deliberately, I suspect – we’re back to square one, and just as an old enemy we’d figured for bleached bones returns from the dead … with a haunting warning.

A blood-thirsty being is on the rise, resurrecting Old West outlaws. But who is this El Diablo? All evidence points to an eccentric billionaire whose estate lies just outside our jurisdictional reach. Worse, an old-school sheriff seems determined to keep it that way.

As menaces teeter into full-blown madness, I’m counting on James to ramp up his smarts and spell-casting. Success will mean the end of the Croft and Wesson era, but failure could condemn all of Grimstone to a hellish oblivion.

And that’s a sunset ride this magic-toting duo can’t abide.

The Croft & Wesson trilogy is a spinoff of the Prof Croft series (set after Book 4) but stands on its own. If you like buddy wizards, occult mysteries, and wild spell-slinging in one of the Wilder Wests around, you’ll love Croft & Wesson!

Croft Wesson

I have to say that I like the Croft Wesson series just as much as the Prof Croft series, if not a little more. Too bad this is the final entry. It would be good if they could have some more adventures together. I thought this was the best one in the series, just wish that all of them were a little bit longer. Love the different characters and the setting. Who knows, maybe the author who will give us some more.

Great trilogy

Written and preform very well. Investing characters nice story telling with a great balance of comedic relief.

such a great trilogy

I'm sad its only a trilogy. I think these stories still have legs and could continue the Grimstone legacy.

The only thing better than a buddy cop story

The banter between Croft and Wesson was the best part, followed by the jackelope, and then the magical mystery. This one was enjoyed best only after listening to the first two, as several supporting characters resurface, so I’d recommend getting the collection, novellas 1-3 over just this one.
