Mick Oberon may look like just another 1930s private detective, but beneath the fedora and the overcoat, he’s got pointy ears and he’s packing a wand. The third title in this popular series.

I can't wait for #4! Ari has done a great job of weaving together fantasy and Noir in 1930's Chicago. One thing a lot of Noir misses is how complex a city Chicago was (and still is) filled with immigrants and people of all kinds. Ari extends this theme with immigrants from Fae. This is a tricky thing, weaving Faerie magic and tommy guns.

I have thoroughly enjoyed all three books in this series, and hope there will be more. Every book in the series, including this one, has had a thoroughly interesting plot and well-developed characters. I enjoy fantasy and mysteries and love hard-boiled private eye stories. This book, this series, has all of that. Absolutely recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mick is back, but he seems a bit tired
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2016

Mick Oberon is fiiling the gap in my life left by Harry Dresden. That said, this book, the 3rd in the series wasn't quite as good as the previous ones. I like my Mick Oberon sharp, well tuned, edgy, and sarcastic. This time things seemed a little off, perhaps a bit forced. Things were a bit mushy, and the plot a bit thickly orchestrated but without the strong foundation it really needed. There were some gaps that had to be filled in. Still a good read, but I'm hoping Mick finds his true mojo again in book 4 (there had better be a book 4).

I loved the first 2 stories in this series. Set in Chicago in the 1930's this series revolves around a Fae PI. I know, we have seen supernatural PI's before. The is handled very well by the author, who has done his homework on 1930's jargon and culture.
Best to read the first two in the series before reading this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars This was a fun read but lack the punch of earlier books in the series

I like this kind of book, urban fantasy with magic and creatures, etc. The detective bit has been done many times but the setting is charming, 1930s Chicago. Lots of mov activity and quaint language.
This book felt like it lacked some of the punch of the previous entries in the series, probably because it felt like a setup to the next book(s) and because the side characters were less compelling (although I did like Fedora)

Mick Oberon continues to be fantastic. Please buy 12 copies of this book. I need there to me more in this series. I love the 30's gangland voice SO MUCH!!! Ghah, I wish this was a whole genre. I want a movie franchise. Mick Oberon is seriously about the best urban fantasy I've ever read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sorry Ari. This one is a snooze fest.
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2016

I'm only about a third of the way in but if I finish this book it will be out of desperation. I think the author is relying too heavily on the 30s slang to cover up the fact that he's run out of ideas. Which is kind of sad. The main character is a fae, for Christ's sake and the first two books have already established travel to the Other Chicago. Why not explore that further?

Maybe things will get better as the book goes on. I just don't think I'll find out. I'm too bored with the story.

It's a shame because I really enjoyed the first two books.
