Magic Outside the Box

The Case Files of Henri Davenforth, Book 3

De: Honor Raconteur

Narrado por: Donovan Hughes, Dallas Boudreaux

Henri is quite accustomed to dangerous and unusual cases landing in his lap. Being partnered to the Shinigami Detective likely has something to do with it. What he is not accustomed to is the queen herself marching into his lab and handing them such a case.

Former Royal Mage Joseph Burtchell was found dead in his home, all signs pointing to murder. However, it’s in question as to how the murderer accomplished the deed—the house was locked, the wards fully up, and the body bearing a peculiar wound.

It’s a locked room mystery, one with a suspiciously absent murder weapon and lack of suspects. Henri’s left baffled. Jamie’s excited, relishing the challenge the case represents.

Who’s powerful enough to thwart a royal mage’s wards and murder him undetected?

great

Great fun story. Definitely recommend. looking forward to the next in the series which unfortunately isn't available yet for audiobook. Hopefully soon.

Steampunk noire fun

The two (3?) different narrators is hard to pull off in audio. Between having 2 readers and very different speech patterns for each character, this one pulls it off without having to state it outright at the beginning of each chapter. Great series for anyone who enjoys a light fantasy/mystery that mixes all the modern technology with Victorian proprietary. Can’t wait for the rest of the series to come to Audible.

Fun

A very good rendition of a good story. I've been a fan of Henri and Jamie since the first book appeared.

Another hit

Read beautifully. the voices of the characters were spot on. just as i imagined them when i read the books first.Can't wait for the other Henry Davenforth stories to be read so I can purchase them.

Fun read

The detective duo and friends are entertaining with their banter and have a great camaraderie between them.

Fun story

Interesting characters and fun listen. Wish the rest of the books were available with these narrators.

Love this series!

I absolutely adore this series. The writing style and editing is fantastic and the voice actors do an awesome job with all the various characters. This is one of the few series I repeatedly go back to and re-read and replay. I definitely recommend!

Another Winner

The continued outstanding performance by the two narrators makes this fantasy mystery story come to life. The story line picks up seamlessly from the previous book. And Clint? Don’t we all want one?

Excellent, as expected.

The series continues full steam ahead and I continue to love the narration.

The only voice that was hard to understand was the felix's, but there are only a few lines for him here. If it changes in future books, a different approach to this character narration might be needed.

A great Urban Fantasy series

After getting all caught up to Backyard Starship, the Murderbot diaries, and the tower of Somnus, I was looking for a new series. I normally prefer sci-fi over fantasy but this collection sent me back to the Dresden Files. The author (Raconteur) created an incredibly interesting world. The two main characters have great chemistry which gets emphasized in the audio version by the work of both narrators. Hughes and Boudreaux do a great job, bouncing from each other and producing a fast paced narrative. I went through the three audiobooks in a week and can't wait for the next one. I recommend The case files of Henri Davenforth!
