About this listen
Boston, 1769: Ethan Kaille, a Boston thieftaker who uses his conjuring to catch criminals, has snared villains and defeated magic that would have daunted a lesser man. What starts out as a mysterious phenomenon that has local ministers confused becomes something far more serious.
A ruthless, extremely powerful conjurer seeks to wake the souls of the dead to wreak a terrible revenge on all who oppose him. Kaille’s minister friends have been helpless to stop crimes against their church. Graves have been desecrated in a bizarre, ritualistic way. Equally disturbing are reports of recently deceased citizens of Boston reappearing as grotesquely disfigured shades, seemingly having been disturbed from their eternal rest, and now frightening those who had been nearest to them in life. But most personally troubling to Kaille is a terrible waning of his ability to conjure. He knows all these are related...but how?
When Ethan discovers the source of this trouble, he realizes that his conjure powers and those of his friends will not be enough to stop a madman from becoming all-powerful. But somehow, using his wits, his powers, and every other resource he can muster, Ethan must thwart the monster’s terrible plan and restore the restless souls of the dead to the peace of the grave. Let the battle for souls begin in Plunder of Souls, the third, stand-alone novel in Jackson’s acclaimed Thieftaker series.

18th Century Colonial Urban Fantasy
I'll do my best with this review.
If you liked Jeff Sharra's "Rise To Rebellion", and Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow", and The Dresden Files, then it's highly likely that you'll enjoy this series.
I took a chance on the first book in this series since I enjoy Colonial era adventures AND urban fantasy. The Dresden Files being the bar all other urban fantasy must measure up to in my estimation. The second book was just as good as the first, and A Plunder of Souls did not disappoint me.
There is a real sense of place and time in pre-revolution Boston, without the author having to describe everything in minute detail. The main character of Ethan Kaille has a strong moral code, and manages to earn the grudging respect of people who would usually consider him an adversary or even a criminal.
Ethan is a Thieftaker, which in the context of Colonial Boston makes him something of a private investigator. He crosses paths with every strata of society and does his best to be decent to everyone, deserving or not. He uses magic in his work, and many pious Bostonians consider him a witch who should be executed.
The supporting cast of characters are mostly memorable, some of them play larger parts in the previous books.
