The 1940s. Life in Grimm City can be just as fabulous as it is dangerous. But it's not a place that can be found on any map. Welcome to a world of gun-toting, hard-drinking, cigarette-smoking fairies, elves, dwarfs, shifters, and witches, as well as human beings.
Welcome to Noir Fairy Tales.
Beldon Chase and Aura Dagger, of Chase and Dagger Detective Agency, are hired by Estin Ragg, a troll whose brother, Durif, was discovered dead under the 82nd Street Bridge. The coroner calls it a suicide, but Estin swears it was murder. The cops seem to be sitting on their hands because he’s a troll, and everyone knows how much trolls are castigated and despised in the realm.
Aura and Beldon are partners. He’s an ex-cop who was framed for something he didn’t do and kicked off the force. Soon after hanging out the shingle of his detective agency, he found Aura homeless in the streets after the death of her father. Something about the young woman touched him deep inside, and he took her in and trained her in how to be a gumshoe.
They’re in love with each other, but it’s Beldon who’s put the skids on their relationship from becoming anything more than professional. Mostly because he's a Static, a man-beast unable to convert completely into a man or an animal.
As Bel and Aura are digging through clues as to whether or not someone killed Durif Ragg, their relationship comes to a head. Aura wants a commitment from Beldon. He would do anything to give it to her, but his own insecurities are holding him back.
Things eventually reach a breaking point when they discover who is actually behind Ragg’s death, and why. Which culminates in Aura giving Beldon a choice — either they make this a permanent partnership in all ways, or she takes a hike, leaving him and the detective agency.

This is a fine story, well told and well performed. As an example of one character, the morgue attendant is an elf, not happy with the visit by the private investigators.

If you like old PI noir, UF and PNR stories, I'd recommend this little ditty. Its a quick listen/read and well written.
Sweet twist on a PNR detective story

The mystery followed the usual formula, as did the ‘who could love a beast’ romance. Even the characters were taken from known fairy tales. I was left wanting for more details about the world and the magical creatures, and something, anything, new and invigorating. Ultimately, this story was as washed out as the black and white cover art.
More Disney than Grimm
