Thraxas ekes out a living as a private investigator. He lives in the poor part of town, with a barbarian for a landlord, and a female ex-gladiator to help him when the fighting gets rough. Thraxas might be too jaded to feel any desire for the beautiful Makri, with her Elvish and Orcish blood, but he appreciates her lethal combat skills. Thraxas once learned a little magic, but he's a hopeless sorcerer. On the other hand, he's brave, loyal to his clients, and he's a legend at the dining table. Thraxas can out-eat and out-drink anyone. When his investigations involve hostile sorcerers, sword-wielding thugs and murderous assassins, Thraxas knows the value of a flagon of ale and a good bowl of stew.

a comfortable, humourous, swords and sorcery detective story.
it reminded me of a cross between Lindsey Davis's Roman Private Informer 'Marcus Didius Falco' series and Phil Foglio's 'Buck Godot (always available, never free)' sci-fi private eye cartoon series.

entertaining 😁

Great characters and engaging world. Brilliant narration.

Thoroughly enjoyed the detective work and the MCs backstory and how capable he and his companion are.

Only downside was his companion repeatedly being in bikini armour or naked, just seemed unnecessary

Fun and Believable fantasy world

An amazing book, listened to all of it in one day. Look forward to hearing the rest of the series.

Absolutely Fantastic!

I listened to this as it was free, thinking it was the usual detective novel, set in present times - that will teach me to fully read the description! But thoroughly enjoyed this fantasy romp, made even better by the SUPERLATIVE narration. I normally wouldn't have gone within a mile of this type of novel, being a geriatric woman, more at home with the cosy crime genre. Great fun!
I must get myself a chain mail bikini for my holiday.....

Unexpected delight!
