Excellent series

I’m really enjoying this series and this book has added to that enjoyment. The narration is spot on. I read as many books as I listen too and this is one of the ones I know I would not enjoy as much if I were reading a hard copy of it.

Another Good Noir Tale

This book series is great and I hope the author and narrator stick around for several more books. If you're a fan of hard boiled detectives this series is for you.

Thrilling Mystery

Private eye, Alexander Southerland, has a knack for finding himself in trouble! This time he finds himself tangling with the Woman in White, aka an avenging spirit whom he had the displeasure of encountering years before in another life and time. Now, he is charged with solving the murder of a nightclub singer and her children. As in most corrupt towns, Southerland has to walk a fine line or find himself “owing” the wrong person!

The author, Douglas Lumsden, continues to develop a world of intrigue, mystery, and supernatural combined in an intriguing way. He develops each character vividly and with a uniqueness that keeps the listener returning for his next book. The building of the storyline is slowed down in order to build the best suspense. My favorite is badass! Love that guy!

The narrator, Duffy Weber, gives each character a unique and distinct voice that helps the listener keep the characters and the story clear. Weber is also consistent with each book, the voice for Southerland is always spot-on. Weber captures the essence of each character and projects perfectly.

There were no issues with the production or quality of this book. The quality of the sound was crisp and clear.

Good mystery. Like more noir feel.

P.I. gets a girl while trying to save a Mayor who doesn't deserve saving. Too bad it wasn't just him the hag wanted to hurt.

When I finished this book I immediately bought the next.

One of The Best Urban Fantasy Series Out There

Lumsden really nails the weary private eye looking to do some good in a chaotic and fantastical setting. His prose and dialogue have really improved since book 1, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite series. The audiobooks are fantastic and highly recommended.
