A peek at a possible future
Revisado: 03-24-25
Some twists and revelations keep this story moving. It would make a great movie! Very relatable characters and as always, compelling. JD Kirk shows us that he has a lot more stories than Scottish police mysteries. (Which I love)

Meet Augustus Berrycloth-Young—fop, flaneur, and Englishman abroad—as he chronicles the Jazz Age from his perch atop the city that never sleeps. That is, until his old friend Thomas Nightingale arrives, pursuing a rather mysterious affair concerning an old saxophone—which will take Gussie from his warm bed, to the cold shores of Long Island, and down to the jazz clubs where music, magic, and madness haunt the shadows . . .

This is a prequel to the Peter Grant series. It’s a great story- funny and touching, and a really good story.

Unforgettable story
Revisado: 01-03-25
The writing is beautiful-you can see the story unfold in your mind, not just hear it. There are plenty of surprises as this book clicks each puzzle piece in place right up to the end. This is a great choice for book groups or for someone who needs a story that touches them deeply.

Historia
Constance Greene confronts Manhattan’s most dangerous serial killer, Enoch Leng, bartering for her sister's life—but she is betrayed and turned away empty-handed, incandescent with rage. Unknown to Leng, Pendergast’s brother, Diogenes, appears unexpectedly, offering to help—for mysterious reasons of his own. Disguised as a cleric, Diogenes establishes himself in New York's notorious Five Points slum, manipulating events like a chess master, watching Leng’s every move…and awaiting his own chance to strike.

Best Ending Ever
Revisado: 08-19-24
I loved that the brothers Pendergast got out of their character ruts and became 3-dimensional human beings. Lots of excitement and twisty plot lines that made this story move along nicely. Best ending ever.

The robot discovers they can also do something else they never did before: They can run away. Fleeing the household they enter a wider world they never knew existed, where the age-old hierarchy of humans at the top is disintegrating into ruins and an entire robot ecosystem devoted to human wellbeing is having to find a new purpose.

Unique and thought provoking
Revisado: 06-29-24
Starts out a little slow, but hang in there. It is a unique tale of robots, the definition of intelligence, free will, the existence of a god, and becoming far more than you imagined you could be. This author is right up there with Neil Gaiman for narration. A great listen.

A fun story with beautiful and touching endings. Without them it's a good book. With them it's a memorable book that I am glad I listened to.

Historia
In Daretana’s greatest mansion, a high imperial officer lies dead—killed, to all appearances, when a tree erupted from his body. Even here at the Empire’s borders, where contagions abound and the blood of the leviathans works strange magical changes, it’s a death both terrifying and impossible. Assigned to investigate is Ana Dolabra, a detective whose reputation for brilliance is matched only by her eccentricities. Rumor has it that she wears a blindfold at all times, and that she can solve impossible cases without even stepping outside the walls of her home.

I read about this book in the NYT, and I am very glad I gave it a try. The two main characters are fascinating and the book is both a good detective story and a fantasy tale. I really hope for a sequel -hopefully many!

I liked how three interwoven stories revealed themselves a little at a time. I think this is a fascinating story with complex characters. It picks up speed as it goes and kept me guessing
