This book was so so good, funny and interesting and different from other murder mysteries. I read it on audible and the narrator flawlessly used each accent that was included for the characters (probably a dozen in total). The narration was perfect, and the story was fantastic. Can’t wait to read the next ones.

Very fun to read - comedy is definitely this author's forte.
Provided a spin on several fantasy creatures and myths - I'd love to learn more about this world! There's also a bunch of free short stories by C.K. available online which I'll definitely be reading.
