About this listen
In the foggy city of Varenne, the street lamps burn bottled marsh-light, and every dusk the lamplighters wake them with a brass rod and three quiet words. But in the old Cinder Quarter, the lamps have started going dark one block at a time. And the night after each blackout, a shop is robbed.
Odile Marrick is twenty-seven, dry-witted, stubborn, and a former lamp inspector who counts everything: stairs, windows, minutes, and now the dark blocks. She has no police powers and a licence only to find lost things. But when the watch arrests a clockmaker's apprentice, and the city council moves to close the Quarter for good, the people who live there hire her for sixty-three pennies, a mended umbrella, and a goose.
With an old lamplighter who talks to his lamps, a chimney sweep who sells information by the farthing, a kind young constable with a bun in his pocket, and a retired stage actress who runs the tea shop and knows more about disguises than any detective, Odile has seventeen nights before the Reckoning to find out who is stealing the Quarter's light, and why.
Each clue is fair. Each layer of the city's lamp contract peels back another secret. The magic is quiet and follows rules, the humor is gentle, and the danger never goes further than a cold night and a dark theater. Perfect for listeners who love clean mysteries, clever women detectives, fog and tea, and a satisfying ending when the lights come back on.
A gaslamp fantasy mystery with a woman detective, full of atmosphere, wit and heart.
