Story
Fetch Phillips fought on the wrong side of a war between humans and magical creatures, and his actions helped to drain the world of enchantment. Now he works on the streets of Sunder City, taking what odd jobs he can while trying to help those whose lives he ruined. His first case is to find a missing teacher. Professor Rye is a 400-year-old vampire with a heart of gold in a husk of a body. In a world without magic, most vamps have already crumbled into dust, but Fetch is happy to go looking for some dirt with pointed teeth if it gets him his drinking money.

A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), The Stranger Times is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable. At least that's their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a man who thinks little of the publication he edits. His staff are a ragtag group of misfits. And as for the assistant editor...well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who's got problems of her own.

My name is Peter Grant and until January I was just probationary constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service (as the Filth to everybody else). My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit - we do paperwork so real coppers don't have to - and finding a way to climb into the panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May.

Dorothy Graham is dead, which is inconvenient, not least for her. Luckily, she has planned for this eventuality. Now, if any of the truly dreadful people she is related to want to get their hands on her money, they’re going to have to do so via a fiendish difficult and frankly bizarre competition of Dorothy’s devising. After all, just because you’re dead, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a last laugh at the expense of people who made your life miserable.

Cordelia knows books. An addict-turned-dealer of classic paperbacks, when she's not spending her days combing the charity shops and jumble sales of suburban London for valuable collector's items, she's pining for the woman of her dreams and nimbly avoiding her landlord's demands for rent. The most elusive prize of all, her white whale, has surfaced—a set of magnificent, vintage Sleuth Hound crime novels. Gorgeous, and as rare as they come. Just one problem. They're not for sale. Still, that won't stop a resourceful woman like Cordelia…

When a gambling debt puts him between a rock and a swim in the Hudson with concrete shoes, Smithy has no choice but to take the worst job imaginable. The gig - as prey in a leprechaun hunt for a bunch of Wall Street jerks - goes as badly as it sounds.

Publisher's Summary
An angel falls in sunder city....
In a city that lost its magic, an angel falls in a downtown street. His wings are feathered, whole - undeniably magical - the man clearly flew, for all that he plummeted to his downfall moments after.
The mystery will set Fetch - in his quest to bring magic back to his beloved city - on a journey involving necromancers, genies and shadowy secret societies. Fetch will search Sunder's wildest forests and dingiest dive bars for the answer, and when he finds it, nothing will ever be the same again.
A world recovers from losing its magic in this brilliantly voiced contemporary fantasy series by Luke Arnold - perfect for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Rotherweird or Terry Pratchett's Discworld.

Genius!
The world building is marvelous. The characters are compelling.
But what sets this novel apart is how it builds on the previous two to address a profound and timely theme.
It's thematic thrust is pure genius!

Kept with it to book 3.
Over cooked. Kept waiting for the reveal I was anticipating or a twist that I had nor seen coming to take it in a direction I had not guessed at. Did not get either, the heroes endless ‘I’m too bad to be good,but I can’t stop trying’ self indulgent man child attitude was hurting my teeth into book three and it did not ease up come the finale. Maybe there are more stories to come but unless the story actually develops a bit more it’s going to feel like filler episodes for the sake of it. Interesting to start with,m but dried up, like the titular river. Narrator also the author makes a great job of narrating it, great voice work, but the hard boiled detective noir meets the supernatural angle adds to the tooth ache after a while. I did do the three books pretty on the spin though, so may have over loaded on Sunder City Noir.

Probably my favorite voice-acting from the series
The story is slowly unfolding from where it left off. Lots of great new characters and higher stakes. I feel like there is some great foreshadowing in this one and I can't wait to see where this series is going. I will definitely listen to the next audiobook version!

Diminishing Returns...
How much you enjoy this third entry in the series will depend primarily on how you much you like Fetch Phillips. His character seems to be going further out of shape with each novel and here he frequently comes across as immature, rude, petulant, selfish, and wilfully stupid. Your mileage may vary of course as these things are subjective.
Through much of this book Fetch complains bitterly about a character and situation that he could've dealt with in the previous book but chose not to, which was particularly annoying!
(I was unsure after the second book whether to get the third but thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt on the basis that the character arc would improve. Sadly, it doesn't).
The plot wasn't substantial enough to fill the longer runtime (which is even longer than the second book, and that one was also too long for the story) and there seemed to be lots of filler sections and not enough actively advancing the plot. Possibly too much was done by characters telling us things rather than exploration and discovery through the story. A good portion of the book is set outside Sunder City and Fetch suddenly becoming a man of the forest really doesn't work. I got the feeling that the author doesn't really know where to go with the world that he has created, it has real potential in the first book in the series but the sequels just don't capitalise on that.
Additionally there is a bit too much plot armour and just a whiff of deus ex machina in the ending.
To end on a more positive note, the narration quality is on par with the previous books, there are a few new accents and voices which fit in well, so if you've enjoyed listening to the author before then there is more of the same here.

Another solid story
I love these books, the world they are set in and the brilliant performance. Less mystery in this one than it is a straight adventure but Fetch is a proper damaged noir detective. I was heartbroken for so much of this, but as ever there are shots of light and possible future character building and stories and I'm looking forward to hearing all about it.
