Lord’s standalone murder mystery is a fascinating work of fantasy that’s short on plot. As forensic therapist Miranda Ecouvo is wrapping up a serial murder case, she has a near-death experience that puts her squarely in the sights of the angels as well as Chance and the Trickster, a pair of semi-immortal brothers. With the brothers as her guides, she realizes that the case isn’t over and the mastermind behind the killings—whose goal is to attain immortality—can still be stopped. Lord plays with reality and dreams as Miranda follows the brothers on a dizzying chase across various labyrinths. The language is lush and beautiful, but the novel’s mazelike narrative can be hard to follow, and it starts to drag in its final third. Readers drawn to Miranda and her story will find that the effort it takes to untangle Lord’s puzzle is well repaid; others will find it needlessly complicated. Agent: Sally Harding, Cooke Agency.
The smooth and elegant voice of Robin Miles guides listeners through a world out of time. This is the world in which Dr. Miranda Ecouvo, a forensic therapist, finds herself after a near-death experience. Here she meets the immortal brothers, Chance and Trickster, who help her finish an investigation of seven unusual murders. While Miles's narration is solemn and steady, she infuses a lot of spirit into the characters by giving them distinct and natural-sounding timbres and accents. It's easy to become absorbed in the story as the characters travel through Miranda's memory to get to the bottom of the mystery and stop a killer. C.J.S. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
