Ahoy there me mateys! I binged this series. The four books are pretty short (80 to 172 pages). The main character is detective James Keeley who doesn’t have a lot of money but does have a magical gun.

In book one (the shortest) Keely is hired by a dragon to solve the mystery of who stole one of the items in his hoard (the item is funny!). The confusion is how something that large was stolen out of a locked room. I really enjoyed the characters in this. James is a likeable guy. The dragon, Oz, is enthusiastic and clueless about humans. And then there be Dolly, the ghost of the 1920s flapper who inhabits the office building’s basement. The world building was light but the story was fun. There are plot holes in how the story resolves but it was entertaining enough for me to immediately read the next.

All things considered, I am glad to have read this series. It was light and fun and just what I needed. And the dragon made it all worth it. I loved him. Arrrr!
