I genuinely love this series. it’s everything anyone could want out of a reluctant pulp detective, dripping with 20s glitz and thrilling tension.
Not to mention the fact I’m always starving for queer stories that features queer folks as well rounded characters just living life.
the time and effort spent on research shows and shines. the more anachronistic bits mesh perfectly and add delightful spice.
The author does such a good job narrating. But the volume of audio can be inconsistent and occasionally needs turning up or down. I’m no expert but maybe either consistent mic distance or gain presets would help. because the rest of the time it’s A+
a few sections have plosive esses that peak audio and can be uncomfortable for headphones. it’s a signature of the author/narrators accent though and I’d hate to see that go away, so some creative editing might be the best solution.
however these are minor technical complaints and this story, as well as the author’s performance, are vary worth baring with those technical complaints.
each book gets better and I’m listening to book 3 as we speak.
Take the plung on Hidden Gotham and your mystery loving heart won’t be disappointed.
