PsyCop #10
Murder House
Listening Length: 8 hours and 50 minutes.
Victor Bayne has survived demons, ghosts and repeaters. But can he survive a murder house?
Few people would willingly spend the night in a murder house, but Victor Bayne is up for the challenge. He'll do whatever it takes to get a look at his permanent record, including going undercover in a townhouse where a recent death took place. Why not? There was no foul play involved, and as a psychic medium, he'd know if a ghost was creeping up on him. The whole "murder house" claim is just a product of a kid's overactive imagination, and he's confident he has the situation under control.
Until he gets a load of the smell.
Turns out, undercover work is a lot tougher than it looks. Vic misses Jacob something fierce. The subject of his assignment is a real piece of work. His partner has definitely got something to hide...and then the investigation takes a truly bizarre turn.
What happens if the murder house reveals itself to be more than just a schoolyard rumor?
PsyCop is an ongoing series filled with supernatural action and delightfully awkward humor - with a steady undercurrent of gay romance. It's best listened to in order, so if you're new to the series, start with PsyCop, Book 1, Among the Living...and prepare for a hauntingly good listen.

This was another great book. Vic is his usually spazzy, neurotic self. I love him! The story was a bit different than some of the other stories, especially without the usual amount of interaction with Jacob. So I'm interested to see how this effects them going forward. There wasn't as much of Vic's gift here, but we get to know Bly the empath better. My particular favorite was the positive "Moroccan hamster" press! I'm part of a rattie rescue group, so it means a lot to me personally. Pet rats are cute, intelligent, funny, individuals (lookup dumbo rats). They're clean if you keep their cages clean. So anyway, that was fun. I had mixed feelings about Vic's frenemy, Hale. Very funny that Vic manages to get himself so worked up about it. But also a sad situation for the old guy even though he was a total jerk.

Let me tell you guys, it was a torture to wait for this audio to come out. 😅 I received the ARC of this ebook when it first came out and I was soooooooo very tempted to read it because I was dying to know the next adventure of Vic and Jacob. 😁 But I know myself and I definitely prefer “PsyCop“ series on audio because let’s face it, the combo of Jordan Castillo Price and Gomez Pugh means guaranteed “eargasms”! 😋🔥 And man, because I had the ebook in my hands, waiting for audio was like I’m on a diet and I know there’s a delicious chocolate lava cake in the fridge and I’m like, I can’t eat it unless I run 5 miles today. Lol 🤣 However, it was well-worth the wait because JCP has done it again! 👏
So Vic and Jacob are both stubbornly determined to find out about Vic’s permanent record. And both men don’t want the other to dig around because it’s a guaranteed disaster in the end. Vic is especially worried about Jacob unnecessarily being a martyr in finding out the truth about his past and losing everything in the end. Because digging up Vic’s permanent record means Jacob will lose his job, his dignity and respect from his colleagues. And Vic is worried that their relationship might not survive if that happens. So when he got a chance at having higher security clearance by being a FPMP undercover spy, Vic dived in at the very first chance he got. So he’ll do small undercover job for a day, get the higher security clearance and Jacob will still have his job. So it’s a win-win situation and everybody’s happy. Right? 😁 But turns out, it’s not a day-long undercover job! 😅 He’s supposed to be undercover for possibly months before he can find out the truth about his assignment. And bonus point? The house he’ll be living is notoriously known as the “murder house”! 😱
I didn’t really understand the difference between MM Romance and Gay Fiction when I discovered these LGBT books a few years ago. And now I have the vivid understanding of the difference between two, I will have to say that “PsyCop” series is between Gay Fiction and MM romance. And I saw some people complaining about the lack of Jacob’s presence in this book but I get it, Vic is undercover and there’s no way he can contact or talk to Jacob even though he was dying to. Although Jacob isn’t in this book physically that much, he was always with Vic’s thoughts. ❤️ And I believe the beginning and the end scenes more than made up for Jacob’s lack of physical presence in this book. 🥰 This book isn’t that creepy or scary comparing where with the previous books in the series but this is the book we could see Vic truly coming out of his shell. He’s awkward with people and usually very shy and reserved but he’s now trying things out of his comfort zone. It’s difficult for him to be away from Jacob, who’s the anchor of his life, that long who’s the anchor of his life but he did it anyway, just to save the man he loves more than anything in this world. And I’m very happy that he got Agent Bly as a friend from this undercover assignment. All in all, another great addition to a great series. And I loved the epilogue soooooo much! 🥰 Sooooo aww-worthy! 😍 And needless to say, Gomez Pugh did a magnificent job narrating this series. 👏 The next book in series can’t come soon enough! 😌💜

Ten books in and really, what I suspect fans enjoy and appreciate most in this series is Vic’s unique personality, and this was no different as he goes undercover for the first time, training as a field agent in order to get more security clearance.
The dry humor is spot on in Vic’s well loved voice, and it’s always nice to see him adapt and try his damnedest to get the job done no matter how uncomfortable or out of his element he is. Vic absolutely cannot be anything but his authentic self.
Admittedly, this doesn't have hardly any action or suspense, and I did miss Jacob quite a bit. However, it was nice to learn the background story of the mysterious Agent Bly, and the overall story arc is further pushed along leaving a bit of a dangling carrot for the next installment.
As I’ve said before, this was classic Victor Bayne, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Vic goes undercover and it goes about as well as you'd expect, lol.
I love seeing Vic continue to expand his horizons. Moving to FPMP might have freaked him out initially, but it's been such a positive place for him and he's able to see and learn new things about himself as a result. And here he decides a course of action regarding his mysteriously redacted past that he hopes will protect Jacob. Vic being so protective about Jacob and his career is touching.
We also get to learn a lot more about Agent Bly, and as another reviewer said, I hope we get at least a short story about him at some point. He's such an interesting character and his background is much more complex than he originally let on.
Now, in the previous book, some reviewers complained about
As for Vic's past and what he discovered about it in the previous book - or didn't discover as the case may be - and what he learns at the end here: I hope it's not too long for the next book, because I need answers now!
I did feel it dragged just a teensy bit, but JCP switched gears at the exact right time to keep it from being an issue. I am curious though if "carrot in headlights" is an actual saying that anyone anywhere has ever used, or what the hell that was about. Vic's very obsessed with carrots in this one and I don't know why, lol.

What would it take for Victor Bayne to wear skinny jeans and a baseball cap?
If you’re thinking there must be a pretty good reason, you’re right. And if you’re thinking the result will be very entertaining, you’re right again.
In Murder House, Vic takes some important steps forward, in pretty much every aspect of his life. The professional one—as he learns the secrets of tradecraft (AKA undercover work)—is certainly the one with the most hilarious results in his day-to-day life, at least until , and then it wasn’t so funny anymore.
The new assignment also makes room for Vic to get to know more about another character and now I’m really hoping
Even if that should never happen, I’m glad Vic made a new close friend and I’m looking forward to seeing more of this relationship explored in the following books.
Speaking of relationships, I loved the romance aspect in this book. I’m probably in the minority on this one, but I completely agree with what the author said in the notes at the end, it was like she had been reading my mind while I was reading the book.
Last but not least, Vic finds out something new about his past. Good luck to him, if he thinks he’ll be able to get Jacob to hold back now.
Thank you to Rosa for keeping me company on this buddy read, especially because she embarked on it without knowing if I would make it to the second chapter, given the book slump I was in when we started. 😘

Victor Bayne and Jacob Marks have taken up some prime real estate in my head over the years, and I am such a sap when it comes to anything PsyCop. What a testament it is to Jordan Castillo Price's obvious love for these characters as well as her prodigious gift for storytelling that she's kept the series fresh and entertaining over the course of ten books and myriad companion shorts. That's a lot of time spent with Vic's thoughts and actions, and the beautiful part of it all is that JCP disappears so thoroughly into these characters, giving readers the opportunity to forget we’re being told a story by the person who’s put fingers to keyboard and brought the characters to fruition. Vic is the narrator of his journey through a life that has been anything but easy. He is present, full-stop loveable in his scowly, pragmatic way, and I can't overstate the importance of the connection he makes with his audience. To rehash a truism: catching up with these guys is like revisiting old friends, book after book.
The long arc of the PsyCop series is still Vic's Camp Hell days and the subsequent gaps in his memories that someone, or several someones, has worked hard to bury evidence of. That's being teased out in this book in an existential, human condition, be cautious what you wish for and why you're wishing for it sort of way—it is not the sort of conundrum a person can just sweep under the proverbial rug, especially not someone with Vic’s history. Some of the best development, however, rests in the relationship that's grown between Vic and Jacob. What began as Jacob’s ghost kink and me wondering how all-in he really was in their relationship has now evolved into something so obvious in Murder House, more so than in any of the other books thus far: they are more than just the stiff who has a thing for the paranormal, and the medium who feeds Jacob’s thirst for all things ghost. This is important because it gives the book a very different tone from the others. In fact, for the first time in the history of the series, I was more invested on Vic's epiphanies and the depth of emotion than I was in the paranormal storyline, and I was more than okay with that. The vulnerability and honest need and longing Vic and Jacob have for each other is so undeniable and eloquent.
Vic has some valid reasons for wanting to become a field agent for the FPMP. His accepting an undercover assignment is meant to be his inroad to that goal. His attempts to adopt a hipster author persona is just a goldmine, no question about it, and I realized, in one solid moment of conviction and clarity, if he ever wrote a story that began “Once upon a time,” I would read it. Pretending to be married to Jack Bly is part of that assignment, and Vic not comprehending the magnitude of what he has with Jacob until it's not there anymore—or, ostensibly not there, rather—is the most romantic subplot of anything JCP has written in this series. It may be the most romantic thing I've read from her to date, and the fact that Jacob is absent from the page for the greater portion of Murder House and yet is so present in spirit (yeah, that had to be said, because it’s fun) illustrates more than anything else how much they've grown to know and define each other as "home". They need each other but are not needy—it's not the words spoken or gestures made between the two of them as much as it's the comfort and familiarity and the sense of deep peace that comes with sharing a space with someone who simply gets you and provides all the little things, trust included, that make a life together about more than mere coexistence. The longing for that by both Vic and Jacob is visceral throughout the book, and I reacted and responded to it in every way I was meant to.
This wouldn't be a PsyCop novel, though, without the paranormal realism we've come to know and love in the city of Chicago. There's no escaping it for Vic, as the most powerful medium the FPMP—or anyone else—has ever known. The temporary residence Vic and Jack are calling home for the duration of their investigation introduces some interesting neighbors along with the truth that a soul won't rest as long as there's unfinished business to resolve. Vic's encounters with the dead are always a shot of imagination mixed with a little adrenaline and the accompanying resolution of him setting a spirit free and putting it at peace. The ghost haunting their townhouse is also a fine example of why I have such high regard for Jordan Castillo Price’s imagination. It gave me the shivers and warmed my heart at the same time, which is a weird and wonderful state of being.
As for his part, Jack has his own history within the series and plays such an important role here, not only as Vic’s undercover partner and ersatz husband but as a sympathetic complement to Vic. I could feel Jack’s loneliness and I grew to like him so much. Seeing how his empathic abilities came into play when pitted against his past and everything he’s given up was a strong motivator in my feelings of empathy for the empath, and I ended up wanting nothing more than for him to find his own happily-ever-after. For a secondary character to reach out and grab me that way, it only reinforced my commitment to the story.
There’s nothing quite as satisfying as finding that one set of characters and the world they inhabit that encompasses everything I love about slipping the demands of the real world for a while and escaping into someone else’s imagination. The PsyCop series is superlative Urban Fantasy, which is owed as much to its characters as to the paranormal goings-on in its -verse. The only thing missing from this book was Crash, because who can ever get enough Crash? But I’m sure he’ll be back before the series is wrapped…something that I’m not looking forward to in the slightest.

When this started, I was uncertain on how it would all work with Vic on an undercover assignment, away from Jacob.
Well. I of course needn't have worried for a nanosecond: once again a trusted storyteller demonstrates exactly why they're just that:
Q: The mattress had just the right amount of give. I expected to be shivering, until I remembered the way the heat rose in the cannery. So many details I never gave much thought. Overall, though, I’d known damn well I had a better life than I ever expected or deserved. And now it really hit home. /Q
Character growth, ok no, even more so self-realization to the nth, especially in Vic terms: check!
A smooooooooth reading experience: check!
Vic'isms: check!
Butterfly tummy type emotional passion and physical heat: check and check!
Humor and eye rolling fabulocity thanks to Vic being Vic: top notch 1st person perspective.
Jacob is kinda everything in this.
I enjoyed the creepy crawly outta this. Thank you, JCP, for continuing to share this supernaturally tinted Chi-town universe with us. And there's def more to come. Woot!

This series just keep getting better and this one was, in a word.... amazing! Jacob is not in this story very much. That is unless you count Vic thinking about him... missing him...bumping into him. Jacob is ever present, just not physically. This is Vic’s first undercover mission. The mission itself is not crazy creepy or weird...I guess “odd” is the best way to describe it. As always, one of the best things is being inside Vic’s head...and Vic’s undercover “head” is priceless!! Then we have the BIG SCENE when Vic goes home. The end of the book brings us back around to the mystery of Vic’s past and sets us up perfectly for the next book. I love physically holding a book and turning the pages. There's just something about that those sooths my soul. Occasionally I do e-books or audio books. This was the audio version. I’ve always thought that along with a really good author to tell the story a book is often made or broke by the person that lends their voice to tell the story. I have to give credit to Gomez Pugh for a fantastic narration.

I forgot how much I've missed Vic and Jacob.

4.25 stars
Well now, I liked this more than I thought I would. Might be one of my favorites in the series. It’s very rare for me to like books in a series after say, the first 5 or so. So for me to still be interested after 10 books is really saying something. I feel the quality of these books is still top notch and everyone is still very in character. (yay!)
There was so much to love in this. Vic trying to be a real douchebag (his undercover persona), the case they were trying to solve with the weird neighbor, and even the fact that Vic and Jacob were separated for the entire book was a thing I loved. Because it felt like Vic fell in love with Jacob all over again. And the pining when they both bumped in to each other unexpectedly.. it was amazing.
I was very happy that Vic wasn’t angsting as much as in the previous book. Yes, he chose the FPMP, but it turns out it’s not so bad after all. And even if he only requested field work as a way to get a higher clearance to finally see his file, I loved the undercover case Vic and Bly worked on.
I was a bit disappointed that the case they were working on didn’t end up as a murder case, but I was still intrigued to see what was going on with the asshole neighbor.
I especially loved undercover Vic in this. Loved the scene when he had to read of one of ‘his articles’ for an audience. Just throw in some difficult words and you have yourself a controversial article.
I hope there will be a lot more book about Vic and Jacob. I just love them.

Well now, I liked this more than I thought I would. Might be one of my favorites in the series. It’s very rare for me to like books in a series after say, the first 5 or so. So for me to still be interested after 10 books is really saying something. I feel the quality of these books is still top notch and everyone is still very in character. (yay!)
There was so much to love in this. Vic trying to be a real douchebag (his undercover persona), the case they were trying to solve with the weird neighbor, and even the fact that Vic and Jacob were separated for the entire book was a thing I loved. Because it felt like Vic fell in love with Jacob all over again. And the pining when they both bumped in to each other unexpectedly.. it was amazing.
I was very happy that Vic wasn’t angsting as much as in the previous book. Yes, he chose the FPMP, but it turns out it’s not so bad after all. And even if he only requested field work as a way to get a higher clearance to finally see his file, I loved the undercover case Vic and Bly worked on.
I was a bit disappointed that the case they were working on didn’t end up as a murder case, but I was still intrigued to see what was going on with the asshole neighbor.
I especially loved undercover Vic in this. Loved the scene when he had to read of one of ‘his articles’ for an audience. Just throw in some difficult words and you have yourself a controversial article.
I hope there will be a lot more book about Vic and Jacob. I just love them.

I'm still amazed at how this series just keeps getting better and better.
I love the new side of Vic we're seeing and his growing confidence. I loved the separation from Jacob and all it made him realize. And I can't wait to see what happens with the main plot in the next book.

2022 review: Still a favorite one for this series. Vic going undercover is hilarious, and tests him in ways he never imagined it would. Bly is great too, just the right person to teach Vic the ropes of tradecraft. I did feel particularly bad for Terri-Anne this time around. Well, I probably did on prior reads too, but the poor woman just wanted a friend. :( And Jacob... 🥰
2019 review:
Another win for Gomez Pugh. Proof the right narrator can make a great book fantastic. He just is Vic, and he brings all of Vic's anxious quirkiness to the forefront. It also helped that I figured out the carrot mystery. :)

Vic undercover, yes it was great - and I love the side we see of these two missing each other, is Jacob amazing or what?
Anyone who hasn't done this series yet, please do it in audio! Gomez Pugh is simply incredible and truly becomes these characters. Highly recommend.

I don't even know what to say anymore that won't make me sound like a member of some sycophantic #VictorBayne club. I can only say that with each outing, Jordan Castillo Price, against the odds, has managed to deepen and widen the world these characters inhabit, without resorting to improbabilities or schmaltz.
In Murder House Vic has decided that gaining access to his redacted past can't be left to others, it's too dangerous. To earn a higher clearance he volunteers for undercover work, and the experience is not at all what he expected. The mystery is inconsequential to the point of being inexistent, but it doesn't matter. JCP is laying out the organic progression of an adult relationship, how we don't know what we have until we don't have it, how much or how little we know about people close to us? As I said: adulthood, even if it arrives in jolts & spurts at 40!
To work the case Vic has to go live in a house where, maybe a ghost still resides, deal with nosy neighbors, pose as a writer, and half of a married couple with Jack Bly, the empath. I was in stitches seeing Vic try to navigate The Douchebag's (as he calls his persona) taste in clothing, and pretentious socio/political essays, and I was touched by the things he missed about the Cannery, his life, Jacob. Every emotion rang true without betraying who Vic's always been. Externally, a bit of a hard ass who had to get that way after life manhandled him one to many times, while inside he's just someone trying to find his place in the world. Cautiously. I think he's found it. And maybe he's starting to know it too.
Normally I'm one for wanting series to end on a high point, but incongruously, I feel like with this one JCP is just hitting her stride. The scene with the coffee mug? GOLD.
It goes without saying that Gomez Pugh has to do whatever other books come in the series. It's a new law. A good one.

That ending!!!! 4.5 Stars!!
Here it is: Jacob is not in this story very much.
Unless you count Vic thinking about him.
Missing him.
Bumping into him.
Jacob is ever present, just not physically.
Who do we get, then? Agent Bly. I missed Jacob, but I really enjoyed getting to know Bly better and seeing him and Vic interact as colleagues and as their undercover personas!
This is Vic’s first undercover mission. The mission itself is not crazy creeepy or weird—it was just odd—you’ll see what I mean when you read it.
As always, the best things about this series is being inside Vic’s head. Let me tell you, Vic’s undercover “head” is freaking priceless!!
The undercover gig ends and Vic gets to go home—and WOW!!! What a scene!!
The end of the book brings us back around to the mystery of Vic’s past and sets us up nicely for the next book!
As always, Gomez Pugh hits it out of the ballpark with his narration!

I never get tired of Vic and Jacob. JCP always pulls a rabbit out of the hat to keep their relationship exciting to read.
This on is going in my keeper folder!

Vic is probably the least suited person ever to do undercover work.

Excellent in all the usual ways! I wish there was a new PsyCop book every day! Why did I let myself read it all in one day :(? I still have some questions though. Maybe I missed something, but Hope we get to see more of Jack Bly in the future as well. Excited to see where this series goes!

As good as the first time. Jacob and Vic are so amazing together.
Despite this particular book being a little different from all the previous novels in the series, I enjoyed it nonetheless. In his bid to know more about his past Vic decides to take the plunge and become a field agent. But with higher clearance come the things he didn't anticipate - long hours, uncertainty and employing acting skills he didn't know he possessed. In this story Victor starts to truly appreciate his life with Jacob and all the little things he took for granted.
I was always curious about agent Bly, and here we finally get his story. It's unexpected but very plausible considering his abilities. I really liked him as a person and was glad that he and Vic got close enough to consider each other friends. The undercover gig they were on was not suspenseful but more mysterious and unorthodox. The story centered on Vic finally figuring himself out as undercover agent and how to mesh that part of his professional life with his life with Jacob and knowing that he might actually be cut out for it after all.
I enjoyed Vic's special brand of humor, his inadvertent ability to help people and, of course, all the psychic moments the story had. The reunion between Jacob and Vic was as sweet and passionate as I imagined it would be. Another wonderful chapter in the life of medium extraordinaire Victor Bayne!

I need the next one right now, that ending was unsettling... I'm eager to know where all those black marks in Vic's record will guide us.
Vic never fails to entertain me
I liked Bly a lot. Before he was a good character but the insight we get on his past and how it made him who he is now and why, is really promising. I hope we'll see more of him in the next books.
Who I didn't really like was Laura. Since Camp Hell or Ghost TV, I'm not sure really which one now, I feel like she isn't the same. Her behaviour towards ghosts is bordering insanity. She can't be reasoned with when ghosts are involved.
BR with Ele this second time!

A Joyfully Jay review.
3.75 stars
Murder House is the tenth book in Jordan Castillo Price’s fabulous PsyCops series. I just love this series to pieces and Jacob and Vic are one of my all time favorite couples. This story not only follows an established couple, but there are overarching series threads that continue throughout the books, so this one is best read in order. However, if you haven’t tried this series, I highly encourage you to check them out because Castillo Price has created an amazing couple and fabulous world with these books.
This story picks up on a plot element from the previous book in that Victor has learned that much of his background is in his permanent record, something he is dying to see since he has lost many memories of the past. So now he is determined to figure out how to get access, and the best way he can do that without risking Jacob is to become an undercover agent. From there we jump into Victor’s first case, and it will come as no surprise that Vic is at once totally out of his depth, as well as completely on top of things. I really enjoyed seeing Vic navigate undercover work, from the folks at FPMP who set him up with his “stay-at-home douchebag” persona, to his continued attempts to get Hale talk to him, to navigating having a fake husband with whom he must put on a show for the neighbors. The little touches here are a lot of fun and I liked delving into a different type of investigation than we normally see from Vic and Jacob.

This book was everything that my cold and black heart needed.
With the way a lot of things stand in regards to authors and reviews lately, I want to make it very clear that the reason I gave this a go was because someone else didn't like it much. This is a sale that came from a bad review. So thank you Fen, for all of your comments. All of the reasons for which he found the book lacking were all of the things that made me want to read it. I knew I would like it. And I did.
Vic ♡ Jacob 4 ever
PsyCop is a series that only works if you've read it from the very beginning. This book follows Vic in an undercover assignment without contact with Jacob. And about 95% of the book pertains Vic missing Jacob. And that's it. It's a story of longing in an established couple. The book fits no category really, because the romance wouldn't stand scrutiny and neither would the paranormal mystery. The crime is laughable and so is the resolution.
But it was all perfect for me.
Also, there's no Crash. This is all Vic in all of his glorious awkward self.

It's always nice to see Vic broadening his horizons, and I liked the addition of Bly as his new work partner, but I found myself missing the usual levels of crazy woowoo, and I definitely found myself missing Jacob, just about as much as Vic did!
February 27, 2021
I liked seeing Vic learn about himself and what matters. After a lifetime of living in fear of different forces he seemed to be coming into his own as a person here.
The neighbours were both sad. The malicious Hale and poor desperate Terri-Ann latching on to 'douchbag' Vic, felt so sorry for her at the end loosing her 'friend'. Hale seemed oddly spry despite his age, stick and taxis he managed to keep giving two Young, fit, trained agents the slip!
We learn more of Bly. Is it bad that I liked him more than Jacob? He showed Vic respect and consideration, he's a smart capable man without needing to bulldoze the people around him. Kind of wanted to cook him a decent but healthy low-fat meal and tell him how well he's worth something.
The reunion with Jacob was sweet, Vic seeing this was what he wanted. But how unprofessional was Jacob to keep turning up when he knew Vic was undercover in that area, once was accident, more than that was blatent endangerment. He really doesn't win me over.
The case, less dramatic than some, wasn't fully visualising the showdown but did get flashes of imagery from 'Stranger Things'

(Do I even need to mention that) this is still so much awesome. The audio is everything I've came to expect from Gomez Pugh as Vic. I had a blast with his voice for the old man Hale - and his character is exactly how I imagined Stefan will grow old and sound, hah.
I'm trying very hard to pace myself and not read the whole series at once - and the fact that I need to do that even after my n-th re-read says all you need to know about it.

Ooof, I can see why a lot of people didn't like this one; with so little couple-time, the romance was practically non-existent and there was little relationship development. The story wasn't the strongest of all the cases either, and for once the horror aspect was downplayed. (Unless I've become accustomed to it.)
But...
Vic will always be my favorite MMRomance MC & I really liked his disdain for skinny jeans, yoga, and repeated references to his douchey undercover persona. And for him to move up, to get that clearance he wants, this assignment (and installment) was a necessary step.
Looking forward to the next one!
(Also, I wonder if part of Vic's craving for sweets and high-calorie food wasn't some bleed over from Bly?)

I wish I was a really strong writer so I could tell you what I want to tell you about this book. Alas, I’ll clumsily march on.
This was an absolute pleasure to read. Vic is on an undercover case. He wants and needed to prove he can get the job done. He is completely separated from Jacob. Keeping these two apart was probably the most endearing and dare I say romantic evidence of their relationship. It really highlighted how wonderful they are together - flaws and all. The few moments when they were together with just a look or a touch was just so on point. The mystery, the spooks, and rest was as it should be.
Well done Price!

I haven't visited my favorite psycop, Victor Bayne, in a long time and I am so glad I picked up the audio version to refresh my memory of this sweet, snarky, self-effacing man. The only thing I missed in this was his daily interaction and love for his life partner, Jacob.
Vic is on undercover assignment for this story and doesn't get to interact too often with Jacob. When he does, however, we are easily reminded of how very much they love each other in so many small ways.
Vic manages to solve the mystery after multiple starts and stops, interactions with a host of interesting secondary characters, including his fake life partner, Bligh, and a few dozen, err...hundred rats. Yes, there's a lot to this story.
The reunion between Vic and Jacob after the operation is over was just perfect and fed my need for their very loving and everyday interactions.
Gomez Pugh was, as always, perfect in his delivery of voices to make this story come alive. No one could possibly bring Victor Bayne to life quite as well. Kudos to both Gomez and Jordan for a super entertaining story.

I loved this. Not for the plot - which is completely away with the fairies (what's with Terri-Anne? and why is Sylvester Hale of any real interest to FPMP?) - but because Victor suddenly becomes human. Over the previous 9 books, Victor's been largely defined by his neuroses, anxieties and paranoia. So, while a relationship has developed with Jacob Marks, Victor's always seemed bemused by it, as if a stray dog had adopted him slightly against his will. Romantic he is not.
But now, working undercover and separated from Jacob, he becomes aware of how much he misses his partner and his home; the depth of feeling revealed is (sorry, Victor) very sweet, and satisfying.
For my money, the emphasis on Victor/Jacob made for a much more rounded book than some of the earlier, more frenetic, stories. I'm looking forward to the conclusion of the over-arching plot (about Victor's early "training") and I'll hope that Jacob continues to feature.
