Rook
by William Ritter (Little, Brown, 2023)
audiobook read by Nicola Barber (Algonquin Young Readers, 2023)
A dark-ish fantasy plot narrated in the style of a cosy mystery. Ritter weaves the speculative element—Abigail’s newly acquired Sight—into both story and character. Jackaby remains a quirky force of nature, especially as voiced in Barber’s audiobook reading (highly recommended).
