About this listen

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?

This has got to be a favourite series for me. The steam punk magical elements. The developing relationship between Henry and Jaime. The unfurling of the cases they investigate and the wonderfully diverse cast of secondary characters all contribute to a brilliant read. The narrators just add the cherry to the cake.

Good work by the narrators as Henri and Jamie’s investigations continue. Seaton and Penny and others along for the ride!

Enjoy the snippets at the start and end of the chapters! Fun 🤩

I find these stories to be lovely comfortable Sunday afternoon reads, so found this one surprisingly sad, the murder of a good man instead of a robbery or epidemic causing charm makers. But it’s really about the characters and their relationships and that was all good.

Enjoyable next instalment
