The Undertakers

By: Nicole Glover

Narrated by: Bahni Turpin

Nicole Glover delivers the second book in her exciting Murder & Magic series of historical fantasy novels featuring Hetty Rhodes and her husband, Benjy, magic practitioners and detectives living in post–Civil War Philadelphia

Nothing bothers Hetty and Benjy Rhodes more than a case where the answers, motives, and the murder itself feel a bit too neat. Raimond Duval, a victim of one of the many fires that have erupted recently in Philadelphia, is officially declared dead after the accident, but Hetty and Benjy’s investigation points to a powerful Fire Company known to let homes in the Black community burn to the ground. Before long, another death breathes new life into the Duval investigation: Raimond’s son, Valentine, is also found dead.

Finding themselves with the dubious honor of taking on Valentine Duval as their first major funeral, it becomes clear that his passing was intentional. Valentine and his father’s deaths are connected, and the recent fires plaguing the city might be more linked to recent community events than Hetty and Benji originally thought.

The Undertakers continues the adventures of murder and magic, where even the most powerful enchantments can’t always protect you from the ghosts of the past . . .

Attention keeping!

This was a great story start to finish. The only downside is during the climax of the book Max out the book they're switching between scenes and it's not exactly clear what year it is. But that was a small thing compared to the overall story.

Another mystery for the ages

Truly if you're a fan of mystery, great characters, magic, and historical fiction this series is a must read. I love how realistic the characters are and how the narrator made them come to life. I'm gonna pre order book 3 asap

Amazing book!

I immediately purchased this after listening to The Conductors…it was definitely worth it!!! Kudos to the author and narrator!

Such a good story and great narration

I really enjoyed this story so much. even more than the first of this series which I liked a lot. The characters came alive in my mind and I could see everything so vividly. It takes an amazing author and equally amazing narrator for me to enjoy a book to this level. I really hope there will be more books to follow this one!

Story was longer than expected, and I struggled to finish.
Narration of the different characters was hard to keep up with. The resolution was heart warming. Enjoyed the spell fights.
