Arcane Casebook #10
Pound of Flesh
One of the first things a private detective learns is that people have secrets, and people with important secrets attract trouble.
When a young woman is brutally murdered in a back alley, the police quickly turn to Alex Lockerby to help them. Hampered by the fallout from his own secrets, Alex goes to work, only to find that the victim in this case had secrets of her own, starting with her identity.
As Alex tries to trace the origins of the mysterious murder victim, a woman comes to his office, begging Alex’s help because she believes the new house she’s purchased is haunted. When Alex investigates the house, he finds that even it holds a secret, one that someone is willing to kill to keep.
With political pressure mounting to solve the murder of the nameless woman, and the tabloids blaming the police for the lack of progress, Alex finds himself caught in a web of secrets, lies, and murder that he might not be able to escape from. Can Alex bring a violent maniac to justice while, at the same time, stopping a methodical killer determined to bury the past forever?

Okay, so I listened to this book TWICE.
.
.
.
Something I never do. 😶😶😶
Yet here we are! 🤷🏻♀️
Not sure I should blame my constantly distracted headspace, failing memory, a mid-life crisis, or ... You know... Blame the actual book. 🙈🤣
The thing is... This is book 10 and my main problem with it is that it felt like a filler.
The usual "oumph" I usually associate with this series wasn't in this one.
Don't get me wrong: It was still good, but the pacing was a bit mellow. The action a bit toned down and instead we had a few too many domestic discussions between Alex and Sorsha about getting married in the future and other things.
I mean, I'm happy for them and all, but Sorsha getting all "hovering, overprotective, mega-powerful girlfriend" did get on my nerves quickly. I didn't like that at all - because I usually like Sorsha very much, but this sudden change felt very much like restricting Alex's freedom, rather than a will to care for him. The lack of trust in his ability to care for himself, magic or no magic, rubbed me in all the wrong ways.
Alex being totally powerless in this particular book wasn't exactly as interesting as I think it could have been. Instead of giving me a "back to basics" feeling, I kept circling back to an overhanging feeling of loss of momentum. It made the book feel rather bland.
Meanwhile, I really do appreciate Alex getting to "pay" for his mistakes by getting a solid blow to his ego and a complete power cut-off. He's been treading Harry Dresden's well walked path for the last couple of books - a.k.a. getting more and more powerful, all the time, without really anything getting in his way of getting even MORE powerful.
And yet... Having listened to this book TWICE(kill me now, plz) I still don't think this book offered much for me to remember.
I hope #11 will pick up the pace and lets Alex get his mojo back, at least partially. Because, while I really like the supporting cast getting more and more character development and space, I do miss some real quality time with Alex.
Oh, as usual Alex Knox is an absolut star the way he reads this series. Can't say that enough! 👏🏻 🌟✨

2.5, nothing major happens, it fills like a filler episode in a tv series. The cases aren’t even all that interesting, except the one that’s supposed to be the “central” one and it’s mostly revealed in exposition.

Alex Lockerby is just your typical 30's NYC gumshoe, but normally with magic. But due to aftereffects from the previous book he has to muddle through without its use in this one.
April 11, 2024
When Alex loses his ability to use magic, he has to use his detective talents to solve the mysteries that come his way.
March 12, 2025
Now he gone and done it, poisoned himself and nearly died! Iggy goes ro extremes to keep Alex alive, and the Ice Soccerress is so terribly mad at Alex. Narrator does his usual good job with this Audible book.
May 4, 2025
4.75, mad I missed the chekovs gun of the Alderman but once again juggling three or four plot lines that are eventually, neatly tied up.
The marriage discussion does both sound like me and like a pulp take on marriage.
Further later as always.
Okay!
I love this series. It is pure noir tinged fun. And this time, rather than Not Sees and real world people our intrepid hero is dealing with mass poisonings, an amnesiac potential killer, ghosts and politicians. That, and marriage discussions! That's right sports fans, our favorite couple is becoming engaged! No big to do yet, but two people realizing how good they are for each other.
The stakes are higher than before due to Alex no longer having magic. Here's my plot hole... why does he not have magic? A magical " damnnation" rune tattooed on his body that acts as sort of a viral filter to prevent further magical contamination. Why does he have that? Because magical drugs make him have magical toxicity. Sort of.
But.... who tattooed him? Iggy can't. Sorsha can't. Who do they trust to do it? No idea.
I do like the multiple police Lieutenants he works with but towards the end they tend to blend together. Minor complaints.
We always find new ways to get our favorite Runewright Detective in and out of trouble!

This is a good start for my 2025 reading list. I have enjoyed the Alex Lockerby stories quite a bit and while I'm still not over the whole Jessica thing, Sorsha is growing on me as a character. This book was interesting because it changed the usual dynamic of a series. Instead of becoming increasingly more powerful Alex is limited, for reasons, in what he can do so ends up relying more on assistance from his friends, and his innate cleverness. It was actually very satisfying to see the same Alex underneath all the power he has been accruing over the years of the stories.
I am taking back one star though because I didn't like the resolutions of the two mysteries that were solved. First of all, one I could have figured out since the clues were there but
The second villain reveal was a funny scene but I don't think there were enough clues in the story to allow a reader a chance to discover the character themselves. So with those two minor quibbles the book is a solid read and comes in at my "I liked it" level of three.

Alternative New York Noir
Dan Willis’ Arcane Casebook series is not just a good read on its own, but also has enjoyable nods to some of the classic detective novels of a previous era. This is a New York where magic is real, although not prevalent enough to be a central part of most people’s lives— more important to most people is that the story takes place in the 1930s, during the heart of the Great Depression.
Alex Lockerby, Willis’ protagonist, is reminiscent of Archie Goodwin, Nero Wolfe’s legman, in the Rex Stout detective novels. Alex’s mentor, Iggy, is even more complex— like Wolfe, he raises orchids and is a gourmet (although unlike Wolfe he cooks for himself), but his relationship with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes is overt.
This is the tenth book in the series, with the eleventh already out. I only hope that Dan Willis follows the pattern of Rex Stout, who continued writing about Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin for almost 40 years.

Ok , cliffhanger, but still love it
I really love this series, lots of action, A logical magic system,
Superior world building and characters with depth.
Alternate reality fantasy at its best, mixed with mysteries actively solved by Alex and his friends. Add a dash of pathos, and a sprinkle of romance.
Perfect, except this one is a cliffhanger and innate those because I'm in the middle of the story and have to wait for the rest.
I'm old, so waiting bugs me, after all I'd like to finish before I stop getting older.
That part said, read this, read all of these books.

This series has grown better with each book and I am now thoroughly invested in the characters. There are still so many plot lines to be resolved; The one thing I am particularly pleased about is that the author has so many good ideas but has resisted the urge to jam them all into one book. The improving strength of this series has been the tying together of multiple narratives into the climax of the book, with this book successfully bringing together the plots and driving the series on to Book 11 now coming out end of the year. I feel child like in wishing the year away so I can get to Christmas!

This series is set in New York in the 1930s, in a version of the world where magic exists in a limited capacity. Some people are “runewrights”, who can create runes that can then be utilised by anyone. Some are alchemists, who create potions with medicinal (and other) functions. A very few people are sorcerers, with the power to imbue objects with magic. These underpin the technology used in this world.
The Arcane Casebook series follows the adventures of Alex, a private detective and runewright. In each book, Alex solves cases and sometimes get dragged into bigger things. I have really enjoyed all of the books in this series to date.
In this tenth installment, Alex faces solving a brutal murder, a mysterious string of poisonings and a seemingly-haunted house - all with one-hand tied behind his back. As ever, Alex is assisted in his endeavours by the glamourous Sorsha and the insightful Iggy. Alex is an enjoyable character, who is hard-working and talented, but not infallible. All of the supporting characters are well-written and developed, though it would be nice to see more of them (tbf, this is why they have their own spin-off series). An excellent series, highly recommended.

Best Served Cold…
ArcaneCasebook10
A hidden speakeasy. A diner waitress. A mysterious illness.
Somewhat routine investigations, if Alex were up to snuff. But, he is locked away from his magic, for self inflicted damage, and everyone close to him hopes they intervened in time. Because accessing magic is toxic to Alex now.
But… his mind is still working, and he hasn’t lost his detective skills … he just can’t depend on magic to get him out of whatever trouble he gets into. For such an independent investigator, Alex is having to make some unusual concessions. Because until he is healed, this life is all he has.

4 1/2 🌟!
*place holder until can do a better review*
I love this series. The time period, the mysteries, the characters (always growing, with more added along the way!), the inclusion of magic and steampunk elements.
I’m trying to get better at posting reviews & rating, but in all, I can honestly say, I’m always on the lookout for the next book in this series by Dan Willis. Highly recommend. Each book can be read as a standalone, and the author/protagonist mentions what happened previously if needed.

Well Worth the Wait!
Wow! What a fabulous continuation of the series! I love how Alex and friends get caught up in one mystery only to find two more. And the way it's written is so on point for the time period. Then there's the storyline of dealing with the consequences of Alex's usage of Limelight. The whole thing is brilliant! I saw the next book comes out in December. It's going to be difficult to wait that long, but I know, as with this installment, that it will be worth the wait.

Pound of Flesh
This one started out a bit slow & I was a tad bit worried that the pace wouldn't pick up or maybe I was losing my taste for the genre, but then it ramped up & I had to hang on for one hell of a ride! (Mr. Willis, I am sorry for doubting you, please forgive this humble reader!)
There is also a great set up for the next book & so much I want to talk about, but no spoilers must be given!
Now, go throw your money at the screen, as this is well known to summon the elusive Dan Willis to his writing utensil of his choice, where he makes the magic words happen!

Mostly fantastic
I'm a fan of these novels. Mostly. There is an element that takes away from them severely for me and that is the behavior of Sorsha. She is great in almost all things, BUT the slaps, the threats, the anger. It's a part of the times, but its physical abuse. If Alex hit her once or threatened to kill her or had power well up in his eyes while threatening her, the outrage would never end.
It doesn't make it better just because a girl is doing the threatening. She slaps him at least 3 times per book and is constantly threatening. It's played as cute. It's not.

What another great book!
Dan Willis does not disappoint with this 10th novel of the Arcane Casebook Series. The story of Alex and Sasha staying romantically involved, along with the various other characters from the Alchemists to the police officers, is action packed. Lots of mystery and intrigue make this one hard to put down, right up to the end. Mr. Willis, I love the character you have created and the magic that goes with him. I suggest to anyone interested to start at the beginning with book 1. You won't be sorry.

I'm still loving this series. The author has done an excellent job researching the history of the era in which he writes. There is no "cleaning up" of the depressing parts of the Great Depression, and while the story takes place in a parallel universe version of NYC, he keeps most of the history intact.
Characters are very believable, plot lines are consistent, mysteries are solved at the end of each book while still allowing for a background longer story arc to develop.

Loved it
So much going on and so many bad guys and in the middle of it all Scorcha and Alex get engaged.
Every page grabs you and you can't wait to see what happens next.
A wonderful series and a well written, full of action.
Make sure you grab this book and jump into the story.

I have paid money for this series
I don’t like to pay real money for ebooks. That’s why I have kindle unlimited.
So when I say that I have enjoyed this series enough to actually give someone real money for it, that shows how serious I am.
It’s a good story, solid, humor, drama. Read it. Try them out. And you buy them too.

it really is the story that drives this book
This is a gritting detective. Smartly done plot twists that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I really like the Sherlock Holmes angle, the magic system that facilitates the story but is not to much on the foreground. It really is the story what drives this book, this series.

Love this author.
I'm so glad I found Dan Willis' books. He reminds a bit of Harry Dresden, only in New York and earlier in the 20th century. Plenty of action mystery and drama served with side of dry humor as our MC Alex, a PI, and rune wright, helps find people and things, helps out th bute police, and tries to spend time with his girlfriend, a powerful Sorceress.

Dan Did It Again!
Ten mysteries and still going strong. I have a great imagination but would never be able to “flesh out” my characters like Dan does.
His tales contain romance, suspense and brilliant endings that wrap everything up in neat little bows. He’s very good at leaving cliffhangers to draw you into the next book.

Alex is great at multitasking
Alex solved several cases all at once, including a cold serial case and he did it on one foot! He needs to rely on help from Sorsha, Danny, and Iggy more and not try to do it all himself.
Also, Sorsha slapped him three separate times. That's a bit much.

I don't want to wait!
I've read all ten books in the past 3 weeks and now I have to impatiently wait another nine months for the next one. Great representation of the time period mixed with believable magics. I just might have to sign up for an ARC version, something I seldom do. Highly recommended series.

excellent read
As always, the story is interesting and it never drags. I love Alex and Iggy. Must admit, I don’t like sorscha. She is too quick to push her power around, and she is a bully to Alex. I see DV for Alex in the future if he is not
Careful- she slapped him twice in this book. If he dumps her she would probably kill him. But. That said it’s a great book.

Excellent series
The books are fast-paced, and I look forward to the next book. It is interesting to read how Dan Willis has incorporated history with the magic the characters use. While I am waiting for the next book in the arcane series, I am reading the books in his other series.

Consistently a great read and series to follow
You want to start reading from the first book. the character evolves accordingly in a way that you don’t get bored Or know what the next adventure is going to be. It’s a good balance of character development and adventure. Definitely a good read

Wow!
This time the villains were Scooby doo like but the conclusion made it do worth it! Oh Man the overall story arcs are so good! Really enjoying this series! I am glad to see Alex is human with real frailty maybe a twelve step program because what makes Alex great is also what may destroy him. His mind
