A Troll Walks Into a Bar:
A Noir Urban Fantasy Novel
(Alexander Southerland, PI., Book 1)

by Douglas Lumsden

He Had me at A Troll Walks into a Bar!

I thought this story was creative and interesting.  It had everything a listener would want in a book – mystery, action, interesting characters, and magic.  The characters were well developed and fit perfectly into their roles in the story.  I truly enjoyed the wererat, Badass, and Smoky as side characters.  The role of each character was well defined and detailed. 

The storyline flowed smoothly and kept one’s interest piqued from beginning to end.  While I had not planned on listening to this story in one sitting, it just happened.  I lost all track of time and became embroiled in the plot. 

The narrator, Duffy Weber, gives an excellent performance providing each character with a distinct voice and enhancing their personality through that voice.  I could picture the wererat bouncing up and down on his feet in excitement not only through the word of the author but the style of narration Weber chose to represent him.  Weber is consistent in his narration and articulate.

This is a fun book, one that you will not want to put down until the end, and when the end happens, you will long for more.  Lumsden has the creative ability to keep his audience captivated.

The production quality of this audiobook was well done, clear, and without issue.
