Description
Author of The Girl with All the Gifts Mike Carey presents the first book in his hip supernatural thriller series featuring freelance exorcist Felix Castor.
Felix Castor is a freelance exorcist, and London is his stomping ground. It may seem like a good ghostbuster can charge what he likes and enjoy a hell of a lifestyle, but there's a risk: sooner or later he's going to take on a spirit that's too strong for him.
When Castor accepts a seemingly simple ghost-hunting case at a museum in the shadowy heart of London, what should have been a perfectly straightforward exorcism is rapidly turning into the Who Can Kill Castor First Show, with demons and ghosts all keen to claim the big prize.
But that's business as usual: Castor knows how to deal with the dead. It's the living who piss him off....
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Engrossing...perfect...an ingeniously multilayered tale." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
"Carey transcends his comic roots in this quirky, dark and imaginative tale that compels reader to keep turning pages long after they should have gotten to sleep." (Kirkus, starred review)
"An imaginative spin on the hard-boiled detective...mixes horror and humor in a way that spells good omens for future Castor novels." (Entertainment Weekly)

Harry Dresden, exorcist
Really enjoyed this book — sarcastic and fun. I like how the backstory and world is hinted at or referred to obliquely instead of being rammed down your throat in tedious expository paragraphs or chapters like so many other first books of a series.
Like the title suggests, it really reminds me the Harry Dresden books by Jim Butcher except set in London and with an exorcist (and also maybe a touch less twee than the Dresden books).
Performance was pretty good though I felt the secondary characters all had a vaguely South African or Australian accent that kind of blended together. The main characters were well voiced, though, and I especially like the lightly campy tinge to Felix Castor — it really leavened the story and elevated the occasionally clunky dialogue. In lesser hands (tongue?) it could have been too melodramatic or ponderous.
I will for sure get the next one.
