Love can be a truly terrible thing.

Marriages are tricky at the best of times, especially when one of you is dead.

Vincent Banecroft, the irascible editor of The Stranger Times, has never believed his wife died despite emphatic evidence to the contrary. Now, against all odds, it seems he may actually be proved right; but what lengths will he go to in an attempt to rescue her?

With Banecroft distracted, the shock resignation of assistant editor, Hannah Willis, couldn't have come at a worse time. It speaks volumes that her decision to reconcile with her philandering ex-husband is only marginally less surprising than Banecroft and his wife getting back together. In this time of crisis, is her decision to swan off to a fancy new-age retreat run by a celebrity cult really the best thing for anyone?

As if that wasn't enough, one of the paper's ex-columnists has disappeared, a particularly impressive trick seeing as he never existed in the first place.

Floating statues, hijacked ghosts, homicidal cherubs, irate starlings, Reliant Robins and quite possibly several deeply sinister conspiracies; all-in-all, a typical week for the staff of The Stranger Times.

definitely witchcraft

How does Caimh consistently write books this entertaining? He never misses. If writing side characters was an Olympic sport he'd be the Michael Phelps of whatever they decided to name it.

Amazing!

book three of this series did not disappoint the stories and characters are so amazing if you've yet to start a series check it out it gets better and better with each book!

Fabulous

Over, as always, too soon. Fascinating expansion on the characters we know and love. Plus Gordon 🤎

Still fresh and funny

I liked book 2 as much as book 1. It’s surprisingly complex for such a funny book. I laughed so hard at the AR15 getting on the Supreme Court that I nearly drove off the road. Full of gems. Awesome narrator.

Brendan McDonald is unmatched

Listen, if you like Cai…I mean C. K. McDonnell, you’re going to love this book, audio or otherwise. But Brendan McDonald brings the story to the next level. His distinct voices for every character are so playful and full of life! Such a treat to listen to and really engages you in the story. 10/10!!

EXCELLENT BOOK

Absolutely love this book! C.K. McDonnell is an incredibly talented author. I have read all of his books and every one of them is outstanding. This book was entertaining from the very beginning to the end. I recommend this book to anyone with a sense of humor!

Snort laughing is normal while listening!

It’s just lovely to be able to listen. I am new to Audible. This particular reader did a bang up job with all the different voices and it’s the third one I’ve listened to and I just can’t wait to listen to “relight my fire.”
The stories are funny and there’s the occasional cliffhanger . The author’s character descriptions are just hilarious. I may have a thing for Manny, who uses cannabis, and forgets to wear pants….

Beyond

Few books, combine, satire, droll, humor social commentary, vibrant characters, and inventive plots. Love the narrator, love the author, love the series, and can’t wait for the next one!

Brilliant, as usual

The only negative thing I can say about this latest book in the Stranger Times series is that, as with all the rest of CK McDonell’s books, I’m sad that it’s over.

Loved

Awesome series. Hoping for more!!
Loved the characters the narrator and the stories. Read them in a matter of days
