Whispering Nickel Idols: A Garrett, P.I., Novel

Garrett gets dragged into an evil religious influx into TunFaire, mixed with a power struggle of TunFaire's criminal families. Usual convoluted Glen Cook plotting...usual enjoyable read.

Another fun entry in the Garrett canon. Snark, sass, and surprises -- what else ya need? If you're a Garrett fan, you won't be disappointed.

This is a great series by GC. I recommend starting at 1 and moving through. Each one is a fun read.

One of the best books in the Garrett series. Cook is a master of the genre and Whispering Nickel Idols is a great example of his storytelling ability.

I read most of these when they first released. It has been a pleasure to adventure with Garrett, Morley, Saucerhead, Doris, Marsha & the whole gang again.

This one always feels like it’s wrapping up loose ends instead of an original story. It is an original story—but the plot is odd. We spend a lot of time with Garrett down sick 😷 (he gets poisoned early in the book), Tinnie playing ministering angel, Morley, Saucerhead and Dean, drifting around the edges of the action, mysterious cats and and an equally mysterious girl who turns out to be Chodo’s other daughter, and a bunch of really stupid thugs who don’t seem to have any real purpose except to cause Garrett trouble. At the end, I wasn’t sure if the story had actually ended. Garrett did end up solvent, Belinda and family ended up sane (I think).

This story gets back to more of the classic Garrett stories. It is a fairly quick read like the rest of them. It is not a Sherlock Holmes mystery novel but is a fun adventure with the characters you have grown to love from the previous stories. This book seems to be better written than the previous entry. There aren't the grammatical issues and other errors and it is a more complete story.

Glen Cook writing about Garrett, P.I. is so good I got all the stories. Robert

Glen Cook is a very under rated, excellent author who always tells a great story!

I like the story line! what else to say after giving it 5 stars??
