The characters and the premise are unique. I got the first 3 stories and read number 1 twice. And now I just got 4,5 & 6. Lot of fun to read.

I can only echo another reviewrs comment...Thank God for great writers..my favorite series !

I couldn't stop reading even at work. Being a fan of the 1930's-40's helps. I enjoyed the mix of historical figures and the characters you created. It's sometimes cryptic and reads like some of the great radio broadcasts of old. Can't wait to read the next installment.

Are great reads. So glad I found them! The alt history, combined with the blend of science & magic make it interesting, and the Noir brings it all together!

Well thought out magic world with twists and turns will keep you engaged. Great rollercoaster ride Characters fleshed out and believable.

The Long Chain is a lot of fun! I love how Dan Willis weaves together multiple mysteries into one coherent narrative. This book marks a turning point in the series. More is going on than we know and I can’t wait to see what the true conflict of this story is.

An excellent read from which the characters flowed out growing more defined as the story wound on. An easy reading style that keeps you wanting more.

I am a big fan of urban magic, and there is a lot to unpack in the Arcane books. Sometimes the path from step 1 to step 4 is not clear, but I really enjoy the mixing of alternate history and music with compelling characters.

What a great read and a solid entry in what has this far proved to be an accomplished series of books.

The author is excellent at world building and gives every aspect of the characters, stories, and powers structure, depth and definition. All too often in magical fantasy novels there are no rules or limits or defined parameters. The author throws around vague phrases and every magic user is just so powerful that it defies description or comprehension.

Willis is an actual writer and clearly has a plan. Our protagonist can't just rune his way out of every problem, often having to rely on his detective skills and his wits instead. Even better, he often must us those wits to most effectively use his runes.

All the characters in the series are well defined and you have a clear sense of them. The overall cohesion and structure makes each book a very pleasant read.

This particular volume is well paced and full on action, adventure, romance, intrigue, and feeling. Highly recommended.

This has been a new author for me and I have enjoyed the first 3 books. Its well written, the plot and characters continue to develop well and I enjoyed the twist in this book. Definitely on my list to read further.

The progression of the story has been nothing short of amazing so far. I normally hate when books end in a clifhanger, but ,this time, I can't wait to get my hands on the next volume.

I have enjoyed the previous two books in the series, however, this one definitely kicks the story up a notch. The description of the various magics involved are very interesting. I am definitely looking forward to the next instalment

Wow! The Long Chain is another highlight in the Arcane Casebook series and probably my favourite so far. Alone the revelations towards the end of the book. Simply awesome! And again with only a few minor hiccups very well written and build up. Very curious about the next book. 4,5*
