Historia
When a magical plague is released in a Depression-era New York soup kitchen, private detective Alex Lockerby finds himself in a desperate hunt to catch a madman before he can strike again. His investigations lead Alex to a famous thief, a daring heist, and the search for a mythic book of ancient magic, but none of that brings him any closer to finding the man responsible for the massacre. With the police and New York’s Council of Sorcerers desperate to find the culprit, Alex becomes a suspect himself, thanks to his ties to the priest who ran the soup kitchen.

Solid Work
Revisado: 04-14-21
A mix of urban fantasy and film noir detective storytelling meant that In Plain Sight was going to get added to my library as a matter of course. With that said, it's an interesting use of magic, reversing the way runic magic is typically treated in fantasy fiction. The voice of the protagonist sounds a little young for the typical noir detective, but that's the worst of it insofar as vocal performance.
However, I do feel like it peaks a little early, with the last few chapters feeling like it had space to fill after hitting the climax.

An Excellent Introduction
Revisado: 04-14-21
In a weird way, The Crimson Spark reminds me of the Kai Lords from Joe Devner's Lone Wolf series of gamebooks, but beyond that this is a fine low fantasy entry. Of particular note is the variety of voice work on display, having a good variety of accents present. If I have any nitpicks, it would be a result of the balancing act of trying to focus on two characters in to arcs, a balancing act at the best of times. In addition, at times it pulls the "everyone has secrets" card a few too many times in its third act, but that's a story matter more than anything else.
Either way, a fine start and I hope to see future Vagabond Legacy books in audio form.
