About this listen
Something’s definitely fishy about this case….
On my last stakeout for Quest Investigations, I nearly got clotheslined by a grove of angry dryads. I expected my bosses to reprimand me, but instead they handed me my first solo assignment. Me! Matt Steinitz, the only human on the Quest roster!
Okay, so the mission isn’t exactly demanding. Obviously, the bosses wanted to give me something they think I can’t screw up. I’m determined to show them what I can do, however, so I dive right in with no complaints.
At first glance, it looks as simple as baiting a hook: A selkie’s almost-ex-husband is vandalizing his boat with unwanted deliveries of deceased sea life. All I have to do is document the scene, tell the ex to cease and desist, and present the bill for property damages. Boom. Mission accomplished, another Quest success, and as a bonus, I get to keep my job.
But then things get…complicated. Suspicious undercurrents muddy up my oh-so-easy case. Nothing is as clear as it should be. And the biggest complication? My inappropriate attraction to the client, who may not be as blameless as he claims.
Turns out those dead herrings aren’t the only things that stink about this situation.
Dammit.
Five Dead Herrings is the first in the Quest Investigations M/M paranormal mystery series, a spinoff of E.J. Russell’s Mythmatched paranormal rom-com story world. It contains no on-page sex or violence, and although there is a romantic subplot, it is not a romance.

Does a bear shift in the woods? Well, partially. That was what got grizzly-shifter Ted Farnsworth into trouble. He wasn’t trying to break the Secrecy Pact. He just wants people to see the real him. So he signs up with the mate-matching service Supernatural Selection - which guarantees marriage to a perfect partner. Not only will Ted never be lonely again, but once his new beaver-shifter husband arrives, they’ll build Ted’s dream wilderness retreat together. Win-win.

Half-norn event planner Anders Skuldsson is under strict orders from Asgard not to meddle with Fate.

So...if Andy just happens to pose as a contender for the prince? It’s an emergency, damn it. Besides, it’s only temporary, so Odin can hardly blame him. Right?

It’s really hard to pretend like life is normal when you’re staring a monster in the eyes, though he’s both tempting and irritating in his human form. I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what? To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me?

Getting into the vampire-only detective unit was the easy part. What’s going to be more difficult is dealing with my new partner - an ancient vampire who keeps threatening to eat me. The unit has never had a human in it. Marcus - or, as I like to call him: Fangy McFangface - would really prefer to keep it that way. He’s grumpy, short-tempered, and broody, but I have a way with words, and I know he’s starting to like me, even if he swears he’s not.

Half-norn event planner Anders Skuldsson is under strict orders from Asgard not to meddle with Fate. But with Enchanted Occasions’ latest booking - the competition for the hand of Faerie’s one true prince - crashing around his ears, it’s really, really, really difficult to toe that particular line. So...if Andy just happens to pose as a contender for the prince? It’s an emergency, damn it. Besides, it’s only temporary, so Odin can hardly blame him. Right?

Story
All vampires suck. Sterling just happens to be very good at it. Vainglorious vampire Sterling is forced to trade his big city hedonism for a trip to a sleepy mountain town, where mangled dead bodies have been discovered. Soon he’s entangled with snooty vampire nobles, territorial werewolves, and a society of law-enforcing sorcerers. The locals aren’t so bad, like the luscious young lady at the fruit shop, or the hunky electrician whose smile sends out sparks. But they’re distractions from the hunt for the mountain murderer.

Instead of hating the strict schedules and tight oversight by staff, James blossoms, quickly making friends, indulging in his love of writing, and contemplating the merits of sneaking love poems to the elusive and aloof William Esher. And, when the normally collected William stumbles in one night, shaken and ranting of ghosts, James is the only one who believes him.

Fun! Can’t wait for more!
4-4.5
It should be said, I didn’t realize this was a new series in a current world. But with having said that, this author did an excellent job making it known you missed things while also making it feel natural like “its okay I’ll go back at get their story”.
I loved this book. It was fun, funny, cute, SCOTTISH ACCENT, magical… I enjoyed the world and the characters and it made me just want to go back and binge the previous books while also continuing this one!
Definitely can’t wait to see more of Matt and Lachlan!

Good
I liked it. The Narrator did a great job. I was especially appreciative since I could not get through the last 2 books I purchased because of what I felt was terrible narration. The last book before this one I had really like in Kindle, but the narration in Audible was.....
This is not a genre I follow, but this book was so well done, I bought the 2nd in the series.

Fun start to a series!
The narrator really sold me on this slightly wacky and over the top paranormal world, the only downside is that I need to wait for the rest of the books to be recorded, because I think I can only listen to the rest of these now I've started this way.

Such a fun story!
This is a fun story with refreshing characters and a pace that is just right- it sucks you in and keeps you guessing the whole way. I love Greg Boudreaux’s wonderful narration. His accents are fantastic and he has a way of ‘becoming’ each character. E.J. Russell has a truly unique way of writing, adding commentary for the reader, humor throughout, and a good, solid mystery on top of a fantastic world of supernaturals hiding in plain sight. This story is more a supernatural mystery than a romance, as Matt and Lachlan come to a great fondness for each other towards the end of the book, but are stymied by Lachlan’s inability to get a supe divorce. But it’s in the works, and their romance grows in the next few books.

Five dead herrings
I had a lot of fun listening to this story. I’ve enjoyed all the other books in this world and love getting to see the characters from previous stories. It’s also really great to get to see Matt’s story also known as Hugh as in human. And Lachlan is a prickly fun character to get to know. I loved seeing Matt work in the supernatural world and how he handles this investigation. I’m curious to see how the relationships will progress. You don’t have to have read the other books set in this world but if you have you’ll love getting to see and hear about characters from before. I enjoyed the mystery and the magic. I’m excited to see Matt grow and gain more confidence in his investigating skills. And see how things will go with him and a certain selkie king.

More, please!
I've been waiting for Quest Investigations to come to audio! This book was everything I hoped it would be. Funny, fun, and well narrated.
The mystery was intriguing without being angsty. I love the side characters and I'm looking forward to seeing the company develope. Yay Jordan! I'm so glad he's in these.
Greg does a wonderful job narrating all the different characters and accents. He really brings the story to life.

Loved it
I Loved it, such a fun entertaining story. I haven't read many PNR books by this author, but now I am going to check all the other books. I liked the idea of paranormal detective agency owned and ran by various magical creatures that employ one Human, the photographer. This story was funny and sweet and magical, Matt the Human cracked me up, his infatuation with "unavailable" men and clever mind kept me on the edge of my seat through the entire mystery. Even though I kinda guessed who the bad guy was, I still enjoyed very much discovering all the details and reasons. Narrator was amazing as always. This was a perfect listening experience. Highly recommend.
