Description

Be gay, solve crime, take naps—A witty and quirky fantasy murder mystery in a folkloric world of witches, faeires, vampires, trolls and ghosts, for fans of Magic for Liars by Sarah Gailey and T. J. Klune's Under the Whispering Door.

A magical serial killer is stalking the Occult town of Wrackton. Hypnotic whistling causes victims to chew their own tongues off, leading to the killer being dubbed the Whistler (original, right?).

Enter the Undetectables, a detective agency run by three witches and a ghost in a cat costume (don’t ask). They are hired to investigate the murders, but with their only case so far left unsolved, will they be up to the task?

Mallory, the forensic science expert, is struggling with pain and fatigue from her recently diagnosed fibromyalgia. Cornelia is suddenly stirring all sorts of feelings in Mallory. Diana is hitting up all her ex-girlfriends for information. And not forgetting ghostly Theodore: deceased, dramatic, and also the agency’s first – unsolved – murder case.

With bodies stacking up and the case leading them to mysteries at the very heart of magical society, can the Undetectables find the Whistler before they become the killer’s next victims?

I neeed a part two!

I listened to the audio book and it was so very well done! The three witches and a ghost: childhood friends reunited to solve a murder crime. I really liked the characters and what they did in terms of investigating. You don't have to step to deep in fantasy to understand the world building, the author hasn't overcomplicated things and stayed on cozy fantasy level. There are queer characters and Mallorys chronic sickness that made this book go under my skin. I can't tell you without spoiling everything, why this is not a full 5 stars. But I would 100 % buy the next book if there ever is one.
