What to expect

Old ghosts of different kinds come back to haunt Fix, in the fourth gripping Felix Castor novel.

Names and faces he thought he'd left behind in Liverpool resurface in London, bringing Castor far more trouble than he'd anticipated. Childhood memories, family traumas, sins old and new, and a council estate that was meant to be a modern utopia until it turned into something like hell . . . these are just some of the sticks life uses to beat Felix Castor with as things go from bad to worse for London's favourite freelance exorcist.

See, Castor's stepped over the line this time, and he knows he'll have to pay; the only question is: how much? Not the best of times, then, for an unwelcome confrontation with his holier-than-thou brother, Matthew. And just when he thinks things can't possibly get any worse, along comes Father Gwillam and the Anathemata. Oh joy . . .

Book 4.0

Narration 2.0

  • 4.0 2.0

    I love these books. They capture the essence of the gumshoe private investigator and transport it into supernatural Britain with aplomb. There are engaging recurrent characters such as Nicky the paranoid zombie, DCI Coldwood, and Castor’s two long time friends Pen and Rafi - unfortunately inhabited by a demon, as well as the succubus Juliet. Each book has a case to be solved as its main driver, but the real fun is the long arcs over several books.

    Now, I haven’t mentioned the narration and that may put some people off. They are read in a received English accent by someone who doesn’t always know how the British pronounce places, businesses, jargon etc. and the regional accents are a bit painful to a native ear. I would encourage getting past this if you can because these stories are worth the effort.
