Vicious Circle<\/em>, Audio Edition<\/a> (2006\/2008) Mike Carey<\/a> narrated by Michael Kramer <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Since Felix is not longer comfortable doing exorcisms, he’s been acting as a consultant for the Met–reading murder scenes to see if he can get an idea of what happened. After reading a particularly brutal murder, he then has to go to the Stanger, where Rafi is still being held, although that seems to be further and further up in the air.<\/p>\n

Felix ends up trying to calm Rafi down after something seems to go terribly wrong; except that when Rafi wakes up, he seems to be back to normal.<\/p>\n

Additionally, a couple come to Felix asking him to find their dead daughter–her ghost had been stolen \/ kidnapped and they wanted her back.<\/p>\n

We also discover that the Catholic church has a group that keeps loup-garou in retainer. AND Juliet asks Felix to come double check a location she’s been called to exorcise.<\/p>\n

A whole lot of things going on, any one of which could cause problems for Felix.<\/p>\n

And does, since he ends up getting beaten up and eventually accused of murder.<\/p>\n

This is the book Michael and I are listening to in the car. It’d been years since I last ready the books, and Michael may not actually have read the entire series, so it’s working out well.<\/p>\n

Mostly because I really like Felix’s smart-ass take on everything.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t wasting any sympathy, because you never know when you\u2019re going to run out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…hangover of the spirit. How the hell do you cure that? A hair of the god that bit you?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The world-spirit. Right, because there\u2019s a consciousness in back of the universe and it loves all its children: we get daily evidence of that in terms of famine, plague, and flood.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I also like the narrator for this series, although I’ll admit that listening to two series set in London and environs, with smart-ass protagonists is a bit disconcerting.<\/p>\n
