Harriet Phillecky is a half-elf, half-siren private investigator who works out of her home with her friend, ex-cop Ceri. Although most of her relatives on the elf side want nothing to do with her, she is close to her uncle Lyle, who hires her to investigate the disappearance of the siren he has been involved with. Harri's house is always full of friends, including the ogres who are always crashing there, raiding the fridge and taking over the television, as well as her dwarf neighbor and a dragon with a drinking problem. The ogres come in handy when trolls keep showing up to attack her, sent by someone who doesn't want her to continue with her investigation. Things are made even more complicated when her ex-boyfriend, Kaij, who works for the Preternatural Investigations Team, shows up and is looking into the same case. What follows is an exciting trek around Melbourne with Harri as she solves the case despite all the trouble she runs into trying to complete her mission. I know this is a self-published story, and I was warned by the author that there were errors, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment of the tale. I love Keri Arthur's work and I'm always excited to read anything she writes. I certainly look forward to reading more Harri Phillecky stories in the future.flag
