    About this audiobook

    Six-year-old Zoe York has been taken, and her mother comes to Remy for help. He thinks the cops would be a better choice-until the desperate woman shows Remy why she chose him out of all the private detectives in Massachusetts.

    There are drawings. Crude childlike drawings that show Zoe's visions of the future. Everything leading up to her abduction, and some beyond. Such as the picture of a man with wings who would come and save her-a man who is an angel. This is more than a mere kidnapping.

    Zoe's preternatural gifts have made her a target for those who wish to exploit her power for their own destructive ends. And the search takes Remy to dark places he would rather avoid. But to save an innocent, Remy will ally himself with a variety of lesser evils-and his soul may pay the price.

      Third in the series featuring ex-Seraphim angel Remiel, currently residing on Earth as Private Eye Remy Chandler. This story followed the kidnapping of a 6-year old girl named Zoe York, who draws pictures of future events. And Zoe's mother has found a picture of an angel who rescues her, along with Remy's name and address. There were a couple of fun things about this book, including Samson as a virtual eternal being still in love with yet wanting revenge on Delilah. (Who knew Samson had such a foul mouth?) And of course Remy's faithful dog Marlowe, who is the only dog in the world who can actually communicate with his owner. I just love that dog, and luckily he has a lot of scenes in this book. Enjoyable book with just the right mix of action, character development, and storyline. I'll look forward to the next.

      Not as good as the previous two in the series (or the fourth, for that matter). Somehow I missed this one and had to backtrack and read it after reading the forth in the series. It was a quick read, but I found myself kinda bored and sort of skimmed through parts of it. And the climactic battle scene features... (wait for it)... zombies. Really? Zombies? Must everyone jump on that undead bandwagon? But you've gotta love that black lab, Marlowe.

    • 2/5
      I'm not sure I really get the point of this book. There was sort of a running plot (rescue kidnapped girl) but a lot of asides with peripheral characters, unnecessary deviations to show how bad the bad guys really were, unnecessary introductions of new characters. It's as though having Lucifer as a plot point in the previous book meant this villain had to be soooooo bad to compete with that. I get it. Delilah's a bad guy. She does terrible things and can control everybody around her. Can we move on, please? And really, telling someone they can't eat or drink until they accomplish a mission is a good way to not get that mission accomplished. Wouldn't Delilah know this after a millennium?

      Plot points disappeared entirely (what happened to the little boy? or the old priest? did all Samson's kids die? why was Samson still alive? if God lost a piece of himself why would angels have to follow a succubus to find it--wouldn't they just know where it was?), and other things were harped on with no follow-through (lots with Francis, lots with uncertainty in hell, lots with the waitress). Even the dog, Marlowe, wasn't enough to save this one. Also, what's so wrong with wanting to mourn a dead spouse for more than six months? Particularly if you were married for 50 years!

      This book just needed another round of revisions. Unfortunate, as it could have been an interesting story if it had just been tighter. (I'm convinced the entire book was written so there could be zombies. Just sayin'.)
    • 2/5
      A major thing that bugs me about this book is that there's a lack of religion which seems odd since there's an angel as a main character. I don't want proselytizing at all, but it seemed like there were only a couple of nods to good/evil - a quick synopsis on how God might have created things, holding someone's hand as they died, and set of bible story characters. Why have an angel as a main character if you're not going to use that to say something interesting? Part of my frustration with this does stem from the second book - and the lack of acknowledgement of those events in this book. The previous book did say interesting things about God, Lucifer, heaven, hell, etc, but in this one, nothing at all. It's as if the previous book never even happened, and the lack of continuity irks me.

      Instead, one of the main threads seems to be Remy's agonizing over getting a new girlfriend. Come on. Really? It's been only about 6 months since his wife of 50 years passed away. Everyone grieves at their own pace, so 6 months isn't necessarily too soon, but give him time to grieve before pressuring him into another relationship!

      Even Marlow wasn't enough to save this one.

      It's sad - I really thought the first book in this series had a lot of potential but I've liked each succeeding book less than the previous.
    • 5/5
      The third book in a wonderful series, Where Angels Fear to Tread has a mother hiring our detective-angel to locate her child, who has been kidnapped by her father. Remy is drawn into the case when the mother shows him a picture the child drew of him and Marlowe -- though she has never met him. Remy quickly discovers that he is once again wrapped up in a supernatural mystery involving historic characters. If you have not read the Remy Chandler novels by Thomas Sniegoski, you are in for a treat. They are dark and gritty detective tales with a difference: the detective, Remy Chandler, is a Seraphim, a warrior angel who left heaven in search of his own humanity. Remy's angelic nature (and his wings!) are firmly held in check, until occasionally required - generally in battle. One delightful side benefit of an angelic nature is that Remy can speak every language on earth, including that of animals. He has great conversations with Marlowe, his black lab, and occasional (snobby) cats that he comes across. Remy's relationship with Marlowe is well done, and touching, as is his relationship with his best friend, Steven, a policeman.
    • 4/5
      This is the third book in the Remy Chandler series; the most recent information that I can find says Sniegoski was contracted for four books in this series. This book was a great addition to the series.Remy gets contacted to work a missing child case; only this missing child is drawing prophetic pictures in crayon and is more than she seems. Deliliah, cursed to forever live without love, is also looking for the child. Samson gets pulled into the mess in an attempt to help Remy fight Deliliah, as he has been tasked by God to destroy her. Drawn into the mess is also an ancient god Dagon, who is trying to use the child to be reborn.There are some interesting characters in this book but they aren't necessarily the strong point of the story. What really distinguishes this book (as well as the first two) from others in the genre is the tight plot and great action scenes. Sniegoski does an excellent job of weaving a tight and engaging mystery/plot that doesn't waste space. Remy always has a clear goal and follows a logical path to get there. I just love that there is no rambling in these books or any sense of Sniegoski not knowing what he wants the characters to do.Those who were hoping that this book would expand on the changes that happened in Hell in book 2 may be disappointed. Though the reformed Hell is mentioned in passing, it is not a focal point of this story. In fact this book could be read without reading the first two (although you would be missing some of Remy's background); in general it is a very contained story.This books are also starting to get a bit formulaic for me. They always start with Remy getting a case, they always end with Remy having to yield to his angelic nature in order to save humanity from destruction. I am not saying this is bad; in general the books in this series have been quick, fun reads that are well written and enjoyable.Overall I thought this was another solid addition to the Remy Chandler series. I was a little disappointed that the main story arc involving the reformation of Hell wasn't dealt with much; in fact many of the side characters from previous book were missing. Still, it was an entertaining read. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next book in this series.
