Resumen del Editor
A troll in a pinstriped suit walks into a bar. He's looking for Alex Southerland, private investigator and summoner of elementals. A gorgeous dame is going to come to Southerland with a case, and the troll tells him that he is going to turn the case down - or else! But Southerland doesn't respond well to threats, even from a seven-and-a-half foot, 500-pound enforcer. Besides, he needs the dough! The stubborn PI soon finds himself cruising through the traffic-jammed streets of Yerba City in an outlandish beastmobile borrowed from a glorified pimp, encountering corrupt city officials, deadly gang bosses, creatures of legend, the sleaziest attorney in the city, a were-rat, and an irresistible - if homicidal - refugee from the ocean depths. Framed for a murder he didn't commit, Southerland weaves his way from seedy neighborhoods to the dazzling lights of downtown - and from one savage beating to the next - to clear his name and uncover a shocking secret.

Historia
Carter's a homicide cop in Titanshade, an oil boomtown where 8-tracks are state of the art, disco rules the radio, and all the best sorcerers wear designer labels. It's also a metropolis teetering on the edge of disaster. As its oil reserves run dry, the city's future hangs on a possible investment from the reclusive amphibians known as Squibs. But now negotiations have been derailed by the horrific murder of a Squib diplomat. The pressure's never been higher to make a quick arrest, even as Carter's investigation leads him into conflict with the city's elite.

My name is Ethan Drake, and I’m a police detective. And I got plenty darkness to give. So does my partner, who’s a demon, and frankly, a royal pain in my ass. But occult investigators are in short supply in the PD, so what are you going to do? Anyway, we just caught a bodysnatching case that has the stench of occult workings all over it.

Does the hitman's hitman have the wrong quarry in his sights?

Jay Brodsky is an enigma. To his fellow agents at the FBI’s cybercrimes division. To his new partner. Even to himself.

And he has an unusual obsession with even the most obscure punk rock. So when a mysterious cyber-terrorist organization begins erasing Americans’ medical debt, Jay must put his personal issues aside to focus on an attack that threatens to destabilize the US economy.

Historia
Scranton, the strangest city on earth has an uneasy “live and let unlive” relationship with the supernatural. But when a vamp puts the bite on an unwilling victim, or some witch casts the wrong kind of spell, that’s when they call me. “My name’s Markowski, a Detective Sergeant on the Scranton PD’s Supernatural Crimes Investigation Unit. I carry a badge. Also, a crucifix, some wooden stakes, a big vial of holy water, and a 9mm Beretta loaded with silver bullets.”

Interesting story
The story was quite good with few plot holes and few issues with story. The detective was a hard boiled wizard detective in a rich world.

Solid Noir
This was a good solid Noir story with some fantasy elements. The narrator did a good job with the voices and had the right sound for a gritty noir tale.

Better than you’d think
Pretty good noir urban fantasy story. The cover kind of threw me off, same with not knowing the narrator.
The narrator is good, but one character does sound like Kenny from South Park. It’s all I could think about when that character came on.

Great Urban Fantasy Book
If you are a fan of Jim Butcher’s Dresden files, then certainly give A Troll Walks into a Bar a read. P.I. Alex Southerland fills in a unique world with his wit, sarcasm and survival skills trying to come up with rent money. Trolls, gangs, and nymphs are just another day in the life of Southerland. Really great book by Douglas Lumsden.

Sin City meets classic fantasy meets Max Payne
What a fun opening title to a book – I was rewarded in my expectation of a fun ride.
PI Alexander Southerland isn’t on the greenest of pastures. Rent is due, and he is contemplating what to do. And Alex isn’t a mere human. He is a summoner of air elementals and a proper guy with the heart in the right place. So, it doesn’t take much for him to jump down the rabbit hole, when he is told in no uncertain terms NOT to take a case, which he doesn’t even know about, yet.
Sutherland’s adventure has all the trimmings of a great detective novel and/but so much more: A damsel in distress (two, actually), a wild youth that wisdom cannot temper, the stranger that helps (and is clearly much more than he seems), street smart allies. Then there is the bad side, with gangsters and the worse side – which almost every major city has but no one really wants to know. Oh, and magical beings that also lend a hand.
Soon Sutherland finds himself at odds with the law, framed for a murder he didn’t commit in the midst of a plot that goes much deeper and is much more than can be gleaned initially. Whom can he trust? How can he ensure his own survival? It’s a breakneck adventure (well, jaw, really – but that’s beside the point) but it rolls of so smoothly it’s a true joy. I love it when there is a solid explanation – especially the “this is how I did it” flashbacks- to how a disaster is…mitigated.
Curried with the oddities that different races, immersive world lore and not least magic afford the tale, this is a cool, fantastic tale. I am getting notes of Sin City, Roger Rabbit and the 2017 flick “Bright” all meeting Max Payne (albeit Sutherland is much less pained than him) and some of the Discworld weird (but without the flimsy). I love the whole premise, and the execution. The characters have charm and flair – and I love that everything is as it seems – except; it’s not. Suspenseful, exiting – FUN!
I thoroughly enjoyed the narration by Duffy Weber. In my opinion he nailed my stereotypical imagination about how the races in their different occupations would sound. He gives the complete cast easily identifiable and pleasant voices, in a tone and style that really does give the book the prerequisite gritty and noir feel. The female voices seem a bit over the top to begin with – but that actually makes perfect sense, given the nature of the cast. They do come across…shrill. I loved the rhythm, the consistency and the depth.
Lengthwise the listen is just about 10h30m - which makes it easily acessible. the pace is great and its full enough to make for a satisfactory listen, without being long winded.
At the end of this first installment, one might wonder: would Sutherland rather have taken the blue pill?
I really hope not. And I am looking forward to the next installment, which I have bought already.
A word of caution:
Strong language, suggestive descriptions.
An apology to Mr. Lumsden:
I was gifted this listen for a review ages ago. I had listened to it, but the review never happened. “Insert bad excuse of choice” – I can’t change that, and I AM sorry, but such as it is, finally here a well-deserved review.
