    About this audiobook

    “A delightful romp, chock-full of wonderfully bonkers ideas.” C.K. McDonnell, best-selling author of the Stranger Times and the Dublin Trilogy.

    “If Spike Milligan and Terry Pratchett had ever got round to a collaboration it might read like OverLondon.” Heide Goody, best-selling author of the Sam Applewhite and Oddjobs series. 

    “The most fun you can have in the safety of a book. A rollicking good read!” Kaaron Warren, multi-award winning science fiction and horror author.

    Priests from OverLondon's Church of Vengeful Acquisition are exploding. Is the cause divine retribution, ballistic undergarments or something more sinister? If only the city had a professional private investigator…

    Luckily, notorious pirate—turned privateer—Captain Alex Reign, has just narrowly escaped the hang man’s noose to establish the Reign Agency in Drury Lane. She needs cash fast and will take any job, even if failure means facing an inconveniently messy end. But what's a little danger to a professional swashbuckler? 

    Armed with nothing but her roguish wit, her reliably unreliable crew and a rogue artificer experiencing a mortal crisis, Alex is convinced they'll have this crime solved and the reward pocketed by teatime.

    To solve their first case, all they must do is survive while navigating rampaging nuns, clockwork horrors, confectionary gangsters, piratical florists, malevolent urchins, military-grade statuary, weaponized blasphemy and sexual whales.

    How hard can it possibly be?

    A Piratical Comic-Fantasy Whodunnit with a Tudor Twist! Read by Brendan McDonald, narrator of C.K. McDonnell's bestselling Stranger Times, winner of BFS Best Audio 2023

      DNF. I got halfway through listening to this dreck till I couldn't stand it anymore. Doesn't reach Milligan's ankle, let alone Pratchett's.
