Story
Alex Verus is part of a world hidden in plain sight, running a magic shop in London. And while Alex's own powers aren't as showy as some mages, he does have the advantage of foreseeing the possible future-allowing him to pull off operations that have a million-to-one-chance of success. But when Alex is approached by multiple factions to crack open a relic from a long-ago mage war, he knows that whatever's inside must be beyond powerful.

Story
When he was 19, James Stark was considered to be one of the greatest natural magicians, a reputation that got him demon-snatched and sent downtown - to Hell - where he survived as a gladiator, a sideshow freak entertaining Satan's fallen angels. That was 11 years ago. Now, the hitman who goes only by Stark has escaped and is back in L.A. Armed with a fortune-telling coin, a black bone knife, and an infernal key, Stark is determined to destroy the magic circle.

Story
This collection of 25 Hercule Poirot adventures is compiled from short stories written by Agatha Christie for The Sketch magazine in 1923 from March to December. In these stories, including "The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim", "The Veiled Lady", and "The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb", the eccentric private detective slowly and surely solves mysteries involving jealousy, revenge, and greed. These stories were well-received at the time and cemented Christie's reputation as the worthy successor to Arthur Conan Doyle.

A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), The Stranger Times is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable. At least that's their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a man who thinks little of the publication he edits. His staff are a ragtag group of misfits. And as for the assistant editor...well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who's got problems of her own.

Mr. Shaitana is famous as a flamboyant party host. Nevertheless, he is a man of whom everybody is a little afraid. So when he boasts to Hercule Poirot that he considers murder an art form, the detective has some reservations about accepting a party invitation to view Shaitana's "private collection". Indeed, what begins as an absorbing evening of bridge is to turn into a more dangerous game altogether.

STOP. You should not have touched this flyer with your bare hands. NO, don't put it down. It's too late. They're watching you. My name is David Wong. My best friend is John. Those names are fake. You might want to change yours. You may not want to know about the things you'll read on these pages, about the sauce, about Korrok, about the invasion, and the future. But it's too late. You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why?

Publisher's Summary
Probationary constable Peter Grant dreams of being a detective in London's Metropolitan Police. Too bad his superior plans to assign him to the Case Progression Unit, where the biggest threat he'll face is a paper cut. But Peter's prospects change in the aftermath of a puzzling murder, when he gains exclusive information from an eyewitness who happens to be a ghost. Peter's ability to speak with the lingering dead brings him to the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, who investigates crimes involving magic and other manifestations of the uncanny.
Now, as a wave of brutal and bizarre murders engulfs the city, Peter is plunged into a world where gods and goddesses mingle with mortals and a long-dead evil is making a comeback on a rising tide of magic.

Kobna holbrook-smith makes this book
I have now listened to this title twice now. Very unusual for me. I love Kobna's voice. It is warm and comfy. He does a great job personalizing all his characters male or female. This story though..chock full of magic and surreal beings took some getting used to. Did I buy it ? Sadly no, It was just too inconceivable . However the narrator moved me through it , to the point where I just used a credit to buy book 2

disappointed <br />
The story was interesting, but the audible breath taking of the narrator distracting. i won't get the 2nd book if the breathing is the same in the sample.

Excellent! Loved every minute.
I have just finished the second audiobook in the series. I love the series & the narrator as well. If you like a little bit of magic and fantasy mixed in with your British crime then I would absolutely suggest you give this book a try! Kind of reminds me of Charles De Lint a little bit, where there's a whole other magical world right under our noses.

Weirdly Wonderful!
It’s difficult to describe this book. I found myself entranced and needing to catch every word. It’s both funny and spooky, fascinating really. Quite a blend! So much interesting historical information too. The narrator did an incredible job of bringing the story to life, the characters all strong individuals and succinctly expressed. I’ll be listening to the next book…and, most likely, the rest!

Really good urban fantasy
A light listen. Original story that unfolds neatly. Exceptionnal narration (though you have to get used to heavy breathing ; it was made in 2013, i.e. not the golden age of audiobooks).

Quite a lot of fun.
I don't usually go for magicky stuff, but this does a good job of making it both amusing and engaging. The dialogue and the hero are both charming, The detailed siting in London made me want to read it with a nice map in hand. The reader, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, was splendid. I will never stop being amazed at the talent of these people who can reliably do multiple recognizable voices for characters of all ages, genders, and conditions. I am not an expert in regional Brit accents, but I do have some little experience, and these sounded great to me.

Remarkable narrative steel
Story itself is only superseded by the skill of the narrator and using so many different colloquial British accents for each character. Really quite remarkable.
