Book description
Picture this: You're having a quiet Tuesday, sipping tea, when thump-a dead guy lands on your doorstep. Not a "happy birthday" card, mind you. A corpse. Specifically, Robert Martin, who somehow escaped high-security prison, got murdered, and was delivered like a poorly wrapped prezzie. Jamie, our gloriously exasperated heroine, is not amused. "Someone left Jamie a prezzie and she would like to return it with a no thank you," sighs the book, and honestly? We're all there with her. This isn't just a murder mystery; it's a delivery service gone horribly wrong.
Honor Raconteur's All In A Name (Book 9 of the Henri Davenforth series, yes, we're deep in the chaos now) is pure, unhinged fun. The audiobook? Chef's kiss. The narrator nails Jamie's voice-sassy, weary, and perpetually one coffee away from screaming into a pillow. You can hear the eye-roll when she mutters, "Belladonna vibes," referencing past chaos (because of course it's got that same deliciously messy energy). The plot? A tangled knot of prison breaks, targeted attacks, and zero leads. Jamie's desperate plea-"Requesting a new plot device, please!"-isn't just funny; it's the only sane response to this level of ridiculousness.
What makes this audiobook shine isn't just the laughs (though the deadpan delivery of "no thank you" to a corpse had me snorting into my mug), but how effortlessly Raconteur balances chaos with heart. You're not just laughing at Jamie; you're rooting for her to finally get a normal Tuesday. The narration pulls you right into her world-where high-stakes danger feels like a bad date you can't escape, and the only thing scarier than the killer is the lack of a single, simple clue.
So, if you've ever thought, "I'd rather reorganize my spice rack than deal with this," All In A Name is your new obsession. It's the audiobook equivalent of finding out your neighbor's cat is a secret agent. You'll laugh, you'll groan, you'll whisper, "Seriously? Again?"-and you'll absolutely, desperately need the next book. Stop everything. Press play. Your sanity (and your sense of humor) will thank you. Trust me: this corpse is the least weird thing about it.
