Özet

His practice newly established, metaphysician Ned Mathey can't afford to turn away any clients. But the latest Londoner to seek Ned's magical aid gives him pause: Mr. Edgar Nevett, an arrogant banker, is the father of the bully who made Ned's life hell at boarding school. Nevertheless, Ned accepts the commission to ensure the Nevett family silver bears no ancient or modern curses, and then prepares to banish the Nevett family to unpleasant memory again. Until Edgar Nevett is killed by an enchanted silver candlestick one of the pieces Ned declared magically harmless.

Calling on his old school friend Julian Lynes - private detective and another victim of the younger Nevett - Ned races to solve the murder, clear the stain on his professional reputation, and lay to rest the ghosts of his past. Assisted by Ned's able secretary Miss Frost, who has unexpected metaphysical skills of her own, Ned and Julian explore London's criminal underworld and sodomitical demimonde, uncover secrets and scandals, confront the unexpected murderer and the mysteries of their own relationship.

In Death by Silver veteran authors Melissa Scott and Amy Griswold introduce a Victorian London where magic works, influencing every aspect of civilized life, and two very appealing detectives.

Fantastic story and compelling characters. The narrator has a great voice and good pacing, but is let down by the editing. Skipped or repeated parts, and a few places where there were either typos in the text or the narrator misread (eg. at one point a character "stands without rising" - I thing the "rising" was supposed to be "smiling"?). Not enough to stop someone enjoying the book if they're not sensitive to that sort of thing, but room for improvement.

Great story but could do with better audio edit

I don"t like the narrator. Quality of narration is also bad.
I like the story.

Narrator is terrible.

Like other reviewers have stated, there are several repeated lines and jumps in the audio. The narrator was not the best, lacking inflection and expression. I had a break from this book and listened to others in between then returned and ploughed on to the end, deciding that it wasn’t too bad, after all. My small gripes are not enough for me to not buy the next in the series as the tale was enough to keep me interested.

Editing!
