Scott's Take: Hot Lead, Cold Iron: A Mick Oberon Job by Ari Marmell

Hot Lead, Cold Iron: A Mick Oberon Job by Ari Marmell is a unique genre mashup. This book is a mashup of a 30s noir private investigator style story with fantasy elements. Mick Oberon is your typical 1930s noir detective except he is an exiled Fae prince. In his latest case, he is hired by a mobster’s wife to find their missing daughter who was replaced by a changeling (a Fae shapeshifter) 16 years ago. To do this he must deal with mobsters and the Fae courts to find the missing girl.

This book is a good read if you are a fan of both genres and like a flawed protagonist who is a little too arrogant for his own good. Mick Oberon is a unique mix of clichés from both genres and so is this story. It is a good book that is a promising start for a series that includes three other books.

Second in the series is Hallow Points: A Mick Oberon Job and that book is in my library TBR pile here at the house.
