About this listen

In this spirited sequel to the acclaimed The Rook, Myfanwy Thomas returns to clinch an alliance between deadly rivals and avert epic - and slimy - supernatural war.

When secret organizations are forced to merge after years of enmity and bloodshed, only one person has the fearsome powers - and the bureaucratic finesse - to get the job done. Facing her greatest challenge yet, Rook Myfanwy Thomas must broker a deal between two bitter adversaries:

The Checquy - the centuries-old covert British organization that protects society from supernatural threats, and...

The Grafters - a centuries-old supernatural threat.

But as bizarre attacks sweep London, threatening to sabotage negotiations, old hatreds flare. Surrounded by spies, only the Rook and two women who absolutely hate each other can seek out the culprits before they trigger a devastating otherworldly war.

Stiletto is a novel of preternatural diplomacy, paranoia, and snide remarks from an author who "adroitly straddles the thin line between fantasy, thriller, and spoof" (Booklist).

Excellent continuation of this series

I found this newest addition to the Rook Files to be highly entertaining and a fun and easy listen. The author added new lore and continued world building to help bring the stories and characters to life in the magic filled world he has created. If you liked the first two you'll love this third offering.

Love this series

A little sad we didn’t see more of Miffany in this one, but the characters were great in this story too. I would definitely read a follow up to this story, and would absolutely listen to other books by Moira Quirk

Good for many re-listens

Stilletto, and it's pre-curser The Rook, are two of my favourite audiobooks. Set in modern day times, a secret supernatural element of the British Government protects citizens from supernatural dangers. As plans progress for a merger with their arch enemies, peace talks are threatened by dangerous attacks.

This book is hilarious, serious, and extremely well done. Moira Quirk (and Susan Duerden for The Rook) do a fantastic job. I have easily listened to both of these books at least 5 times. Currently finishing Stiletto... again! #Audible1

Excellent

A very imaginative story with lots of action, twists and turns. Add an outstanding narrator to the mix and you get a very entertaining audiobook.

Awesome sequel.

Loved it. Fascinating characters. I love a story that makes you like the antagonists. The Grafters are my favorite part of this book.
