Arcane Casebook, Book 5

By: Dan Willis

Narrated by: Alex Knox

When a madman starts robbing banks the really old-fashioned way - by blowing holes in them with magical explosives - the police want Alex to catch him before he kills and robs again. There are two problems with that, however - first, as far as Alex knows, there’s no such thing as a blasting rune; and second, his friend Danny Pak is up for a promotion, and that’s not Danny’s case.

Alex splits his time between chasing the homicidal bomber and helping Danny figure out what happened to a dead writer who was basing her book on Broadway’s most famous murder. While the bomber continues to elude Alex, he becomes convinced that the writer was killed by someone who wanted the old murder to remain unsolved. Before he can pursue either case further, however, the feds show up, wanting Alex’s take on a series of bizarre magic-related deaths.

Now Alex must solve the 15-year-old Broadway murder, catch a blast-happy bank robber, and figure out how average people are being killed by a mysterious, untraceable magic. All the while, he has scant leads, even fewer suspects, and the inescapable feeling that he’s being played.

Another great title in the series

The Arcane Casebook series always delivers an immersive entertaining experience & this was another fantastic mystery. I am in awe.

Great story

Keeps listener engaged and interesting every step of the way. Chapter after chapter. We are looking to download the next book right away.

Series keeps growing stronger

I really enjoyed this book. Twice I thought the book was wrapping up, and then there was more. I

Great series

But the narrator often pronounces "runes" as "ruins." Very annoying. "Runes" rhymes with "tunes." One syllable.

"Ruin" rhymes with "bruin" or "clue in." Two syllables.

I hope as the series continues, somebody gets this narrator to pronounce "runes" correctly since the whole series is about runes.

Incredible!!

Absolutely LOVE this series and book 5 was just amazing. Highly recommend! (Definitely read in order)
