About this listen
Newly arrived in New Fiddleham, New England, 1890, and in need of a job, Abigail Rook meets R. F. Jackaby, an investigator of the unexplained with a keen eye for the extraordinary - including the ability to see supernatural beings. Abigail has a gift for noticing ordinary but important details, which makes her perfect for the position of Jackaby’s assistant.
On her first day, Abigail finds herself in the midst of a thrilling case: A serial killer is on the loose. The police are convinced it’s an ordinary villain, but Jackaby is certain the foul deeds are the work of the kind of creature whose very existence the local police seem adamant to deny.
While Abigail finds herself drawn to Jackaby’s keen intelligence and his sensitivity to phenomena others barely perceive, her feelings are confused by the presence of Charlie, a handsome young policeman willing to help Jackaby and Abigail on the case. But is Charlie’s offer a sincere desire to be of service, or is some darker motive at work.

Very good narration
I found this book series on Goodreads and decided to dive in because it sounded right my nerdy alley.
Supernatural creatures and somewhat brilliant but misunderstood detective yes please!
I was not disappointed, I will say however it is a bit slow to start but being the first book in a series I expect it but it was still very entertaining.
If you are on the fence about either reading or listening just do it and enjoy the strange world that the author has penned.

Enjoyable
The narrators interpretation of Jackaby is rather weird, but otherwise it was a pleasant surprise. I enjoy period stories and ' out of the ordinary ' supernatural, this filled the bill
