About this listen

A rollicking comic-fantasy whodunnit with a Tudor twist!

Priests from OverLondon's Church of Vengeful Acquisition are exploding. Is the cause divine retribution, ballistic undergarments, or something more sinister? If only the city had a professional private investigator…

Luckily, notorious pirate-turned-privateer Captain Alex Reign has just narrowly escaped the hangman’s noose to establish the Reign Agency in Drury Lane. She needs cash fast and will take any job, even if failure means facing an inconveniently messy end. But what's a little danger to a professional swashbuckler?

Armed with nothing but her roguish wit, her reliably unreliable crew, and a rogue artificer experiencing a mortal crisis, Alex is convinced they'll have this crime solved and the reward pocketed by teatime.

To solve their first case, all they must do is survive while navigating rampaging nuns, clockwork horrors, confectionary gangsters, piratical florists, malevolent urchins, military-grade statuary, weaponized blasphemy, and sexual whales. How hard can it possibly be?

"A delightful romp, chock-full of wonderfully bonkers ideas.” (C. K. [Caimh] McDonnell, best-selling author of the Stranger Times and Bunny McGarry series)

"If Spike Milligan and Terry Pratchett had ever got round to a collaboration, it might read like OverLondon.” (Heide Goody, best-selling author of the Sam Applewhite and Oddjobs series)

“The most fun you can have in the safety of a book. A rollicking good read!” (Kaaron Warren, multi-award-winning science fiction and horror author)

Brilliant

This is the start of an amazing series. I can’t wait to read the next book. The narrator is,as always, superb and fits the story and characters like a glove. Fans of CK McDonnell will love this.

Great listen

Love the narration by Brendan, and the story is a great peek into a world I'd love to see more of.
