"He thinks he's a wizard," they said.

For five grand a month and a million-dollar chaser, Roger Mulligan didn't care how crazy the old geezer was. All he had to do was keep Joseph Perry Shackleford alive and keep him from squandering the estate for a year.

But they didn't tell him about the pixies.

Great story - perfect narration

The first time I read this book it was with a Kindle. I loved the story. Seeing it available as an audio book, I enjoyed the second time even more. I hope this is the beginning of a series.

Such a gentle story

Another reviewer called this a gentle story and I agree. I am hoping for a sequel. But the narrator! I couldn’t believe it was just one voice artist.

Love this author!

A fun book! I really like this author and his mellow writing style.

A chain with a pendant
Pixies, fairies, sprites
Lots and lots of money
An evil niece
Great characters

One of my favorite books again!

*original review March 2020 for ebook version, and it still applies! Everything I said is true!
Nathan Lowell really stepped out of his comfort zone with this Jeeves and Wooster style Urban Fantasy, leaving the beloved Deep Dark (Space) to write about Wizards and Pixies! But seriously, this story's heart is still pure Nathan Lowell... and I love it! It's one of my favorite books so far this year!

Just to give you some perspective, I've read around 60 books (novels and short stories) so far, and of the 4 books that landed as my top favorites, 2 of 'em were written by Nathan Lowell! Yes, he's that good!

**My 2nd read through... What a delightful way to spend a few hours! And Tom Taylorson was the perfect narrator to give Roger Mulligan his own voice in this fantastic performance!

Favorite lines:
“Don’t mind the cars,” he said, grinning at her over his shoulder and opening the door.
“Are you kidding me, Mulligan?” She froze inside the door, staring at the lineup of vehicles. “What’s that? A million dollars on twelve tires?”
“I have no idea.” (was the reply)

And: "I have suspicions, but none I’d hang a hat on."

Engrossed the whole time

I could not stop listening. I have a feeling if I listen again I'd hear things I missed the first time. A well crafted story and a good introduction to a new, magical world that I think I am going to enjoy.
