unexpectedly fun

i picked these up because it's graphic audio, who did wonders with the stormlight archives. even though these types of detective books are usually not my jam, they were a lot of fun to listen to, given the fantasy tie-ins.

What a surprise

Seriously a great find. I would’ve never tried it out if it weren’t for my love of Graphic Audio. Finishing the 4th book now. At first it seemed a little too whimsical but as the characters grow on you you’ll appreciate that it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Can’t wait for the rest of the series to come out from GA on Audible!

Good book

Love the books, wish the full 12 books were graphic audios. Great performance and great storytelling

unexpected find

I purchased this on a whim. I enjoy GraphicAudio. They bring books to life the greater percent of the time. This is excellent. I especially enjoyedthe twist on a vampires weakness in book 1.

It's Campy and Fun

Is this series a serious "murder mystery" or "fantasy?" No. Absolutely not. It's campy, it's hokey, and tows the line of satire. It's terrifically amusing!
My only huge complaint is that in Book 2 there's an audio discrepancy when Tony is talking to a zombie and several tracks are overlaid, making the whole scene unintelligible.
Otherwise, it was a fun distraction while doing dishes, laundry, and all other mundane tasks.

Pathetic

The first 2 hrs are cool, a SF detective doing his job. After that it just turns to pixies and fairy dust. Cmon we’re adults.
