About this listen

Sequel to Absinthe of Malice.

Miki St. John believed happy endings only existed in fairy tales until his life took a few unexpected turns...and now he’s found his own.

His best friend, Damien, is back from the dead, and their new band, Crossroads Gin, is soaring up the charts. Miki’s got a solid, loving partner named Kane Morgan - an inspector with the SFPD whose enormous Irish family has embraced him as one of their own - and his dog, Dude, at his side.

It’s a pity someone’s trying to kill him.

Old loyalties and even older grudges emerge from Chinatown’s murky, mysterious past, and Miki struggles to deal with his dead mother’s abandonment, her secrets, and her brutal murder while he’s hunted by an enigmatic killer who may have ties to her.

The case lands in Kane’s lap, and he and Miki are caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse. When Miki is forced to face his personal demons and the horrors of his childhood, only one thing is certain: The rock star and his cop are determined to fight for their future and survive the evils lurking in Miki’s past.

Great story

This is an interesting story. Well written and with likeable characters. The narration is good as well.

Full redemption

I have listened to all in the series and enjoyed each in varying degrees. I was glad to see this story when it was recently added. The whole series takes Mickey and Damien along with the Morgan Clan and the rest of the new band from deep despondency and depression thro to a new hope and a ‘new song’ at the end of this book.
I really enjoyed the way it is read and performed too. Each ‘voice’ being easily recognised with their own characters. I will now go back to the first in the series and listen to them all again

Please stop trying to do accents. Please.

Rhys Ford is one of my favourite authors and I have been following this series all along - with some minor quibbles - and I was looking forward to the wind up. The narrator gave it his all, as always, and is reliable and enjoyable when telling the story but is appalling when trying to deviate to a new accent. He tries to differentiate between so many characters with so many different accents that he manages to mix them up more than once (or ten times) and completely butchers them when he’s just doing a two person scene. It’s not jarring enough to take you out of the story, just mildly annoying if you let it register too much. What IS annoying is the constant need everyone in the story has to reassure Miki and tell him what a precious little treasure he is and how much he’s cherished and adored. A good third of this book could have been edited out thanks to this constant repetition of the theme. It kind of read like a bad hurt/comfort fanfic at times. The author has a wonderful way with words and descriptive narrative but, again, I don’t know what the editor was thinking. This could have been tightened up so much and the story would have been kept on track and flowed much better without half the flowery fluff that chokes almost every scene. The central plot is fascinating and as a long time follower of the series answers so many questions that you didn’t even know you wanted answers to and I loved that. I was a bit miffed that one really important character was introduced and got very little ‘screen time’ or development in favour of focusing on Miki’s relationship with another major character (and, again, we get it. He’s very special. Show don’t tell and *definitely* not every damn scene.) and I would have really liked to see that particular character and the tie he has to Miki developed more. I found it a bit of a struggle to get through the story but I made it because I had already invested so much in the characters I knew. It’s not one of the author’s best but it’s worth a credit. I gave the story four stars overall partly because of loyalty but mainly because it is a good performance and story and wraps up all loose threads from the stories that precede it.
