Changeling Detective #1
Shadows in the Darkness
Gwen "GiGi" Gelman, a ten year veteran of the Providence, Rhode Island vice squad, finds herself unemployed after being blamed for a routine bust that turned into a bloodbath. GiGi is used to being on her own, though, and with the help of a DA who owes her, she's scraped together enough capital to start her own PI business, specializing in"family problems"-in particular runaways who have disappeared into Providence's seamy underside.
With a few custodian kidnapping cases under her belt, as well as a case against a Catholic school teacher/molester, GiGi is doing well for herself --until she takes on the case of a fourteen year old runaway who may or may not have been kidnapped.
As GiGi investigates, she accidentally opens the door to her own mystical past. Now long-hidden family ties threaten her, and the secret of her identity unlocks a conspiracy that reveals the forces of darkness that play in the shadows...
Forces that intend to be the masters of all mortal life.

This is a mystery starring a former cop/now PI, who is asked to investigate the disappearance of a 14 yr old girl, and a bit later, the vehicle accident that killed a couple and their infant daughter. It starts off as a simple PI story, but supernatural elements start to appear. (This is fine with me, I love speculative fiction.) She is an interesting character, who becomes more interesting as the story develops. I thought it was a decent mystery and interesting take on the Elder Races. I also liked that none of the characters was exactly what they seemed, and neither all good nor all evil.

The characters are memorable, as well as the dialogs, but as you move towards the end, the narrative simply feels a bit rushed.
Overall, not the best fantasy novel I've read, but it's worth spending an afternoon reading. It lacks the epicness of some other fantasy works, which is definitely a must if you try to write within the scope of the genre. If you just want to use fantasy to get more readers, your writing will definitely be better off without it. In this specific case, most of the fantasy-related occurrences are there to serve the plot and not the character. It might as well be a godly intervention, or even worse, a writer intervention.

A recurring theme in Cunningham's Forgotten Realms stories is family legacies, an exploration of the good and/or bad sides of them. It is a theme that she manages, in my opinion, very well to explore and dig into in a fairly varied and multi-facetted manner.
That familiar territory is obvious in this book as well, the first of (so far) two books featuring the PI protagonist Gwen Gelman. As is the the usage of a willstrong, fiercly independent young woman with unusual powers and talents as the main character (yes, she bears some resemblance, I think, with Cunningham's Arilyn Moonblade in the Forgotten Realms)--not to mention the usage of (HUGE SPOILER HERE, SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ IT, STOP NOW) elves.
There's a huge--and important--difference, however: This story takes place in the real world. More specifically, it takes place in today's Providence, Rhode Island, USA; the state Cunningham herself lives, as well as the state and city where H. P. Lovecraft lived--the latter being of some interest to me, of course;-)
Cunningham's take on this blend of things works. It's as simple as that. Fellow-Forgotten Realms writer Ed Greenwood is quoted on the cover, saying "[she] makes me care about her characters. She makes the fantastic real." That's true in the Realms, and it is probably even more true in this "real life" setting. A main reason for this is that I got the impression that she really knows Providence well; the descriptions "rang true", resulting in a believable, realistic background setting for the tale.
Admittedly, I found the first half of the novel less satisfactory than the last half. To me it seemed as if she was sort of trying her way into this story and setting, and most things didn't really grab me: Neither characters (although they stayed interesting enough for me to continue) or plot(s). But when finally the overall setting was in place--boy, was it interesting!
It is a fairly complex and dark tale evolving around missing teens, old men's sexual interest in underage girls (I told you it was dark), dark family secrets and search for an identity in a world where light and darkness blends with the shadows. Some of the twists I saw coming, but not all of them, and that's always nice:-)
The mysteries solved in this story (solved in a satisfying manner) open up for questions to a larger array of mysteries... I am already looking forward to reading #2: Shadows in the Starlight.
That's a recommendation of the best kind, right?;-)
[Btw, please don't let the clicheed titles of this Series frighten you away.]

This is the first book in the Changeling Detective series, and also, the first book I've ever read by Elaine Cunningham....I liked it...it does have a few triggers though...I didn't realize it did when I started to read it. Deals with "gentlemen's clubs" nudity, violence, and death. Gwen Gellman is a vice cop turned P.I. when a bust goes bad and leaves 2 cops dead Gwen "GiGi" is forced off the Rhode Island police force. She starts her own Private Investigator business focusing on "family issues" mainly runaway/kidnapped children. When she takes the case of a missing 14 year old girl she finds things might not be what they seem in her world....And, she discovers the truth about herself and her origins.

I liked the fact that, unlike most of the current crop in the genre, the main character has a pretty straightforward love/sex life. It was a nice change.
I'll keep going with this series as well - I think I'm up to 37 series I'm actively following now - and see what happens next.

This is Fantasy which I don't usually read, but the main character is Gwen. She is a strong interesting non-human who doesn't know who or what she is.

This is a mature book, at least far more so than many others. It doesn't insult (much) the intelligence of the reader.
You just don’t find many books like this anywhere.
Gwen knows she’s different, but doesn't know what she is and she suffers because of it. She is former cop turned private investigator specializing in finding lost and kidnapped girls, like she, herself is lost. And the city of Providence’s steamy underside is where she’s doing most of her work, and she’s good at it, so good that she easily convinces club owners and vice bosses that she is her disguise: a sexy lap dancer, a woman making men turn their eyes at her wherever she goes.
She’s a very believable «heroine». There aren't many unconvincing events in the book. The story feels very much like real life. Perhaps she is too much in denial when she discovers her true inheritance, and the fact that a sensual woman doesn't have sex during the book are the only things I find a bit frustrating and unlikely.
It’s not a genre book, another point in Elaine’s favor, the way I see it. If you must label it, call it «urban fantasy».
Elaine has mostly done licensed work. I guess she earns more money doing that than on her own stories and that is too bad. I will skip the Forgetting Realms, Star Wars and stuff like that and keep reading her real stuff.
This book is out of print. I was lucky to find it at the local library. Again we see an example of how quality fails to become a bestseller.

As paranormal PIs go, Cunningham has a pretty interesting twist on the genre’s usual wizard/witch or vampire hunter protagonist. But Gwen Gellman doesn’t even start this book knowing what she might be, other than maybe a little bit psychic. Having left the police force under a cloud after her last undercover case, she makes her living tracking down info, people, etc. When a distraught blue blood shows up and hires her to find a missing teenager, Gwen gets pulled into a complex web of secrets that encompasses her last case, the missing girl, and disappearing bodies from a three-decade gone car crash.
I only really know Cunningham as the author of various media/gaming tie-in fiction, and when I first picked this up at the used book store, I took the “Changeling Detective Agency” title here on Goodreads to mean it was a World of Darkness tie-in book. This doesn’t really appear to be the case (though I suppose it could’ve started out that way? no matter…). What does appear to be the case is that this was planned as a trilogy, and book 3 was never written and/or published. There’s a lot of threads left loose at the end of this one, though the core case gets resolved satisfactorily. I’m afraid I’ll probably give a pass on Book 2, as I will not be able to deal with the frustration if I get any further invested in the world-building or characters, only to never get it resolved.

“Shadows in the Darkness” is the first in the “Changeling Detective” series – or rather what was intended to be a series because it ended in 2006 on a cliff-hanger after just two books.
Disgraced former detective Gwen "GiGi" Gelman, now a P.I., specialises in finding people. Her success is in no small part down to her occasional visions.
She can pass for a teenager even though she is in her 30s and, as she is about to find out, she's not entirely human, or maybe not human at all.
She's hired by the mother of a 14 year old girl who has either run away or been taken.
It soon becomes clear that the father is being very economical with the truth.
It also becomes apparent that the case has something to do with Gwen herself as she finds herself increasingly involved with the Elder Race (Elves, but they don't like the name).
It is solid story but somewhat formulaic. I liked it but I did not love it.
3 Stars.

The book started out well and had a good premise but fell down in the execution. It was supposed to be the first in a trilogy but the series never went beyond Book 2. This novel set up events that seemed to have a long term pay off in books 2 and 3 in addition to having a cliff hanger ending and this is what deterred me from getting book 2. A good start but I cannot recommend it because there is no resolution to all the questions that are raised.
May 3, 2018
3.5. I enjoyed the book and I definitely want to read the sequel. It felt like this book is leading up to something bigger, but there's only one more in the series. I'm wondering whether book 2 will be huge plot-wise or whether the series ends on a cliffhanger.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but this didn't grab my attention.

Shadows in the Darkness
By Elaine Cunningham
This isn't your usual urban fantasy. In fact, I’m not sure it is really in that category. There is a supernatural element present but it doesn't come into play much. Much of the this book seems to be setting things up for the series. It is a very well written third person narration that mostly centers around the procedural drama of Gwen’s investigation. Very little progression into Gwen’s origins and heritage are explored in this book. Her parents died in a burglary when she was young and she was raised in foster homes. She does solve that mystery by the end of the book but not much more than that.
I didn't continue with the series because there only seems to be two books and I’m guessing there aren't going to be any more. From the descriptions, book 2 isn't much different than book 1 and the story arc doesn't really progress.
Spoilers ahead.
In the prologue we meet Gwen (Sometimes called GigI) as an undercover cop. A bust turns into a bloodbath and we discover that there are elves and apparently she is one. Some time passes between the prologue and chapter one and in that time Gwen has become a private investigator.
Gwen is working a missing person’s case. A teenage girl has disappeared and the girl’s mother hired Gwen. It is a short case as Gwen finds the girl’s dead body. With that case barely wrapped up, another woman comes to her asking Gwen to find her missing daughter.
As she works the case, we keep running into shadowy figures that talk of bloodlines and the gentry AKA the elves. Gwen doesn't seem to know anything about her heritage. Meanwhile, Gwen uncovers evidence that girl’s father may be up to something nefarious that may or may not be related to her disappearance.
When she finds her old partner Frank dead, Gwen doesn't believe that it is any accident. Toward the end of the book, Gwen finally discovers that a person who hired her on a case, Ian Forrest, has not changed in 40 years. When she confronts him about it he admits that he is a member of what he calls the elder race. Since she had asked Frank to help her on the case, naturally she wonders if his death is related. She meets up with Frank’s son.
When she gets the files on the case she gave to Frank to work on, in a complicated bit of deduction and with hints from Ian Forrest, she links the deaths of her parents to the death of another couple and their baby daughter. She begins to suspect that the people who were supposed to be her parent actually weren't.
She solves her missing persons case which turns out to be related to her own mysterious origins but only in a bizarre tangential way. By the end of the book Gwen is starting to come into her power and fully believes her relationship to the Elder race and ends up embroiled in their politics and she captures her parent’s killer.

Wow, what a cool book! I know I'll definitely check out the books that follow. Just gotta wait for the paperbacks! Lol.
Anyway, the story's about an ex-vice cop called Gwen Gellman who now works as a private investigator in Providence. She has a psychic ability she doesn't understand. Her latest case involves a 14-year-old that's gone missing, under really strange circumstances. Anyway, there's so much more to this tale and the intricacy just grows as the story moves along. She's a really likeable character with many flaws. But I still liked her and the array of characters introduced.
I'm really looking forward to reading more about Gwen, especially now that she found out some truths about herself. If you're looking for a really interesting mystery entwined with some dark fantasy, I really recommend this book. When I got to the end, the only bad thing was I wanted to keep reading... It was a lot of fun.

Gigi was a cop who was blamed for the death of two undercover officers and led to her leaving the force to become a P.I. She deals with cases where there are family problems and now she is investigating the possible kidnapping of a 14 year old girl. Using her psychic gifts helps on her cases but it also unlocks a past she'd rather forget.
This one was more like a crime novel than a paranormal book. In the first 80 pages we get one tiny glimpse of her powers and rest is just bog standard police style investigating and talking to people of interest. Crime novels like that are not my thing so my mind started to wander a bit. I didn't really care one way or the other about Gigi as she didn't have much depth to her, and the supporting police cast were obnoxious, lying, corrupt lawbreakers. It didn't really hold my interest long enough to find out about this secret past that she has.

Elves. Why did it have to be elves?
This first book in a threatened series is a decent enough mystery with a hard-core ex-cop detective with a past shrouded in mystery even to herself. Although it contains the now-obligatory sex play (thanks LKH), they are mostly interrupted scenes of heighten sensitivity. Gwen's missing daughter case dovetails neatly with the case that ended Gwen's police career and her own mysterious past.
It's light and hits just the right notes for the genre; however, it lacked the spark of fun that I prefer in paranormal detective fiction. For that reason, and because I find neither elves in general nor Gwen in particular all that interesting, I doubt I'll be back.

Gigi finds herself forced out of her job as a vice squad detective after a drug bust goes seriously wrong. She is now working as a PI. She takes on a case of finding a 14 year old girl who disappeared from her home. Something is seriously off as the father doesn't seem to want her following the trail into his private life especially since he spent time in a local child porn club. Gigi begins to wonder if perhaps the father is involved in the disappearance.
Gigi's own history gets pulled in and she learns that she is an elf half-breed changeling.
I liked the mixture of paranormal, fantasy, and mystery.

I'm not a fan of cop dramas and detective mysteries, and that's basically what this book is. There is a tiny bit of fantasy here, but it's barely noticeable. I couldn't connect with the story at all. It seemed fragmented and confusing throughout, then we find out everything is connected in a far fetched way towards the end. I really struggled to finish this book. At no point did I feel interested in anything going on. The romantic relationship between the main character and her ex was painful to read. I skipped entire sections related to that, and I didn't miss much. Maybe this story just isn't my thing. Judgmental cops and convoluted mysteries are not my cup of tea.

I really enjoyed this book. It's the first I've read by Elaine Cunningham but definitely not the last. I have book 2 Shadows in the Starlight and will be reading that very soon to continue the adventures of Gwen "GiGi" Gellman, an ex-vice cop turned PI. Orphaned Gwen spends her time locating missing children and when her current case intersects with her own background, things start to heat up.

Saw the second in the series, read the back and being that the setting is in my hometown I had to read this. The characters were okay. I liked the main. The side characters could have been better developed. The dialogue...I didn't like. The story was interesting to start, but it kind of unraveled and fizzled out by the end.
This series , I think, was supposed to be a trilogy. But so far there are only two books out...and the third will probably never come out. Sadly.

This felt very much like a prologue book or what would be included in the first 15 minutes of a movie. I was rather disappointed by that. I'm curious if the other books in the series pick up the pace or not.
January 24, 2016
Slightly confusing plot with modern day elves and mythical beings hiding in plain sight.I like not having everything spelled out at once....but there were MANY things left unknown. Read second book....and it only added mor unknowns. Grrrrr.

There was something about this book I liked. It had magical elements, that were not really explained. But the main character was a strong female, which I appreciated.

Surprisingly a quick read and I enjoyed this initial book in the series and the development of the characters. Although there was not much depth in some descriptions when I expected to read more. The resolution to the main plot was somewhat lukewarm and passed over quickly.
