Hot Lead, Cold Iron [Dramatized Adaptation]

Written by Ari Marmell

Narrated by A Full Cast, Bob Payne, Andy Brownstein and 26 more

Chicago, 1932. Mick Oberon may look like just another private detective, but beneath the fedora and the overcoat, he's got pointy ears and he's packing a wand.

Oberon's used to solving supernatural crimes, but the latest one's extra weird. A mobster's daughter was kidnapped sixteen years ago, replaced with a changeling, and Mick's been hired to find the real child. The trail's gone cold, but what there is leads Sideways, to the world of the Fae, where the Seelie Court rules. And Mick's not really welcome in the Seelie Court any more. He'll have to wade through Fae politics and mob power struggles to find the kidnapper – and of course it's the last person he expected.

Wonderful overall production with a splendid cast. Sure to be sequels. Hope they will be presented this way.

I really enjoyed this urban fantasy about a fae detective in Chicago in 1932. It is told in the first person by Mick Oberon who walked away from faerie for reasons he doesn't share with us and who is surviving in Chicago as a private investigator. The mobs are very busy in Chicago and Mick isn't completely excited to work for a mob wife. However, he needs money to save the building where he lives and the mob has the money.Mick is hired by Bianca Ottati to find his daughter. Bianca has come to believe that the child she knows as her daughter Adalina is actually a changeling; she wants Mick to track down the daughter that was exchanged for her. Mick has to return to faerie to try to track down the missing girl.The story has all sorts of twist and turns. Mick is beaten up, shot, and otherwise damaged in many ways. Good thing the fae are tougher than the standard human. I loved Mick's voice as he talked about his life and the case. I enjoyed the juxtaposition of Chicago gangs and the fae. I will be reading Mick's next adventure as soon as it is published.

Interesting book. Imagine the characters of "Lord of the Rings" set in 1930s Chicago. The middle of the book, which focused on the "Otherworld" was a bit tedious. But the beginning, and especially the end, were good.

This is almost indistinguishable from Jim Butcher's Dresden Files. On the plus side is the 1930s setting; on the minus side, it's not as funny. But it's entertaining, so if you like Dresden, you'll like Mick.

Hot Lead, Cold Iron(Mick Oberon #1)by Ari MarmellNarration by a variety of actorsThis is a terrific series! A fae, 1930s PI in Chicago, who tries to keep the fact that he is not human under wraps. The whole book is narrated by our hero, Mick, as if he is telling the story and its with the slang and verbiage of 1930s. The other voices come in at the appropriate times as if it's a play. Excellent!It's fast paced, snarky, fun, and with great characters! This one is about a gal whose hubby is mob related. She thinks her daughter is a changeling. Her mother-in-law knows some old world magic and figured out the daughter's acting funny and came to that conclusion.So Mick is on the case. After 16 years, how's he going to find the real girl? What to do with the changeling? Who changed the babies and why? A fun and exciting story with a great ending!
