The Undertakers
The Undertakers | Nicole Glover
7 posts | 3 read | 7 to read
Nicole Glover delivers the second book in her exciting Murder & Magic series of historical fantasy novels featuring Hetty Rhodes and her husband, Benjy, magic practitioners and detectives living in post-Civil War Philadelphia. Nothing bothers Hetty and Benjy Rhodes more than a case where the answers, motives, and the murder itself feel a bit too neat. Raimond Duval, a victim of one of the many fires that have erupted recently in Philadelphia, is officially declared dead after the accident, but Hetty and Benjy's investigation points to a powerful Fire Company known to let homes in the Black community burn to the ground. Before long, another death breathes new life into the Duval investigation: Raimond's son, Valentine, is also found dead. Finding themselves with the dubious honor of taking on Valentine Duval as their first major funeral, it becomes clear that his passing was intentional. Valentine and his father's deaths are connected, and the recent fires plaguing the city might be more linked to recent community events than Hetty and Benji originally thought. The Undertakers continues the adventures of murder and magic, where even the most powerful enchantments can't always protect you from the ghosts of the past . . .

Started this on my drive to ATX this weekend. I looked it up today, and I think this is actually 2 out of 4!! Doesn‘t seem like the 3rd and 4th follow the same characters as these first two, but we will see. ✨

I just finished it this morning! It was a little long and wandering, but that‘s kind of how life is sometimes.
1. Hetty and Benjy are compelling characters individually and even more so together.
2. Well, the next story may have been set up in the ending, but whatever happens I‘d like to know more about Benjy.

I know it matters not at all but I hoped to finish this one yet this month and I don‘t know I can get it all done tonight. If I have to finish it off tomorrow I may cheat and still count it. Also, Hetty and Benjy are making me so happy and nothing better happen to them.

My sequel sprint actually went pretty well considering last week did not necessarily go as anticipated. Only about a quarter into the Undertakers so far but loving it as much as the Conductors. https://youtu.be/W4nAwbk0sAI

Hetty and Benny‘s newest mystery is how to get a new business off the ground & a spate of mysterious fires in the mostly black neighborhoods of Philadelphia.

Loved this return to this series! Hetty and Benjy‘s relationship continues to be a delight. I love how many female friendships Hetty has. Her grief from the previous book still affects her.

The mystery doesn‘t resolve quite as neatly, & everything comes to a head very quickly. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

1. Suspenseful-ish. Two thrillers and a YA/MG ghost hunter trilogy.
2. Tagged book is scheduled to be published next week!
