Review of 'Thieftaker' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Vaguely entertaining mix of fantasy, historical fiction and mystery. Our protagonist is Ethan Kaille, who works as a thieftaker in Boston in the 18th century, just after the Stamp Act. But in this alternate history, some people are able to use magic, Ethan one amongst them. We follow him as he tries to solve a number of murders committed by another conjurer.

Neither the characters nor the story were particularly memorable, but it's an okay enough read, I suppose.
