"Silence of the dead" (@andiewington.bsky.social and @ericamarks.bsky.social) was an entertaining read, even if more "Cast a Deadly Spell" for D&D archetypes than Pratchett or Cook, but still a fun and amusing palate cleanser.

"Silence of the Dead is a great deal of fun. It bounces between darkness and silliness in good measure."

I loved this effort from @andiewington.bsky.social and @ericamarks.bsky.social. Find out why in my review on FanFiAddict:

Review: Silence of the Dead, A Fantasy Murder Mystery
Andi Ewington and Erica Marks combine for a slice of fantasy murder mystery fun. Silence of the Dead is the first book in their Bones & Betrayals series.
