Lord of the Rings meets film noir--gosh, I love this series! A private detective faces ghosts, giant bugs, and ex-girlfriend femmes fatales. As of 2008, this is the latest in what has quickly become one of my favorite mystery/fantasy series, mostly due to a great cast of characters.

The extra star is because this culminates in an amazing moment, which really hit me -- and probably did harder than most because all the previous books are so present in my mind because I've read them all within the past three months.

Garrett, P.I. is a detective in Tunfaire, a free-lancer hired by anyone who needs some investigation done. He is aided by his partner, a dead Loghyr, who can read minds; a rat-girl named Singe, his girlfriend Tinnie and assorted other lowlifes, including an assassin dark elf named Morley Dotes. His primary client, Weider Brewery, hires him to get rid of an infestation of massive bugs and ghosts at a site being turned into a theater. Of course, these manifestations are just the tip of the iceberg for Garrett. One thing leads to another and soon Prince Rupert, third in line to the throne of Karentia, is involved. This series makes me laugh out loud and I always enjoy another dose of Garrett's wisecracks and ingenuity.
