Butterflies documents the time immediately after Feximal has cleared Caldwell House of its ghost and his leave taking of Caldwell.
A paranormal mystery, with interesting insights to the 1890's world ( running for exercise  is considered odd). I liked the snarly interchanges between the two when they remeet after a couple weeks, though they soon start working on a mystery together. Feximal's method talking to the dead is unique, but will be familiar to readers of The Magpie Lord. An imaginative murder weapon and the ending of this case is a start of a close bond between the two men.
Again, very short but packing a lot of story into the space.

14.1.18 reread: just love KJ Charles’ writing and imagination! Horrifyingly disturbing and exciting all at the same time!

Another outing for a great pair of characters from this author. Simon the ghost hunter, and Robert who had a brief encounter with him in the first story, are now brought together again in the pursuit of paranormal evil. I would love to see a longer story about these two someday. Simon has a bitter edge, and Robert is his ideal foil; they work well off each other. There is sexual tension, creepy death, and we learn a little more about both men. Well done.

Oh my gosh, butterflies! And what a sad, deranged man! :( That was nuts!
I like how this book was written! I want more Robert and Simon! I also want to read the first book but cannot find it anywhere. I'm hoping it's been taken back by the author to be released again sometime in the future? I really want to know and read how they first met...
