This is the fourth book in The Stranger Times series. If you've never checked it out/haven't heard of it, its about a misfit group of newspaper employees who work at a rag that covers stories of the supernatural, paranormal and weird, and you follow along as they uncover different mysteries in each book. It has humor and a sort of dysfunctional found family - and I adore and am rooting for each imperfect character. And the audiobooks are phenomenal. This new release is exactly like what I hoped for and if you've been reading the series you'll like this one too.
Aaaand we're back for another adventure with the eccentric employees of The Stranger Times. McDonnell writes with a lot of warmth, and while he clearly takes inspiration from Terry Pratchett (and less expectedly, Mick Herron), these books are very much their own thing. Once again, this is is an entertaining and lively read, with a cast of characters you will be rooting for. Paragraph for paragraph, these are just about the most fun books around at the moment (alongside the humourous crime novels of Caimh McDonell who I'm sure is absolutely nothing to do with this author), and I hope there are many more to come.
