Why Listen to This Audiobook?

If Raymond Chandler had written about London exorcists, he'd have wanted Michael Kramer reading it aloud.

  • Great if you want: gritty supernatural noir with genuine mystery plotting
  • Listening experience: dense and twisty, sardonic tone carries through every scene
  • Narration: Kramer's gravel delivery makes Castor's exhausted wisecracks land hard
  • Skip if: you haven't read books 1–2; series continuity matters here

About This Audiobook

Felix Castor finds himself juggling three seemingly unrelated crises that threaten to spiral beyond his control. A widow desperately needs his help preventing lawyers from stealing her husband's corpse, while a savage murder in King's Cross bears the unmistakable signature of a long-dead American serial killer. Meanwhile, Castor wages a legal battle for custody of his friend Rafi's demon-possessed body, haunted by the suspicion that these disparate troubles share a darker connection than coincidence would suggest.

Michael Kramer delivers a masterful performance that captures both the noir atmosphere and supernatural dread woven throughout Carey's urban fantasy. His nuanced portrayal brings distinct personality to each character, from Castor's weary cynicism to the otherworldly menace of demons and zombies. Kramer's pacing builds tension expertly across the novel's complex plot threads, while his clear delivery ensures listeners never lose track of the intricate supernatural mystery. The audio format enhances the story's immersive London setting, allowing Kramer's skilled narration to guide listeners through the shadowy streets where the living and undead collide.
