Fantasy & SciFi
Nicole Glover delivers the second book in her exciting Murder & Magic series of historical fantasy novels featuring Hetty Rhodes and her husband, Benjy, magic practitioners and detectives living in post–Civil War Philadelphia
Nothing bothers Hetty and Benjy Rhodes more than a case where the answers, motives, and the murder itself feel a bit too neat. Raimond Duval, a victim of one of the many fires that have erupted recently in Philadelphia, is officially declared dead after the accident, but Hetty and Benjy’s investigation points to a powerful Fire Company known to let homes in the Black community burn to the ground. Before long, another death breathes new life into the Duval investigation: Raimond’s son, Valentine, is also found dead.
Finding themselves with the dubious honor of taking on Valentine Duval as their first major funeral, it becomes clear that his passing was intentional. Valentine and his father’s deaths are connected, and the recent fires plaguing the city might be more linked to recent community events than Hetty and Benji originally thought.
The Undertakers continues the adventures of murder and magic, where even the most powerful enchantments can’t always protect you from the ghosts of the past . . .

En blandning mellan Mrs Marple, en vuxen variant av femböckerna fast med magi, och där händelserna utspelar sig i USA under och efter inbördeskriget och hur slavarna smugglades fria och hur de lever efter att de blivit fria medborgare. Mystiska bränder som ödelägger flera gator och så klart mest drabbar de forna slavarna värst. Men även mord… Jag gillade språket, hur boken och händelserna byggts upp och där magin liksom lade till ett extra lager.Jag gillar även uppläsaren.Det finns en tidigare bok i serien, men den finns tyvärr inte på Storytel, men den är också väl värd att lyssna på/läsa.
