I love reading anything that has a supernatural element to it, especially if dealing with psychics.
Swann's Down is done in such a way that it's captivating. The storyline is fun and easy to follow, and the well-crafted characters are a delight.
Truly a great read!

The second book I've read by Salzberg,
Competent, steady pace and full immersion into Swann's character
Salzberg is always worth your time

Very well written story, with great characters and dialogue. It's very easy to read, with a straight timeline, and the plot is very good as well. Even though this book is far out in a series, it's no problem reading it as a stand-alone.

A very good, enjoyable and entertaining mystery.
I loved the style of writing, the well written characters and how the engaging plot was developed.
A very good mystery, it's the first I read in this series and had no problems in understanding the plot or the characters.
I look forward to reading other books in this series.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

This is a fast and fun read solving two mysteries at once. The writing is superb. Streetwise and intelligent dialogue kept me glued to the pages.
Our main character Henry Swann doesn't call himself a private eye, but he does know how to find people and things and that's why he gets hired.
In this story there are two women missing. One is a charlatan who took a huge sum of money from a friend. The other is the girlfriend of a hitman, who's needed in court.
The path to discovery is well crafted and doesn't give anything away until the end, in the meantime fully entertaining the reader with New York's 'finest'.
Swann's Down is the fifth book in the Henry Swann mysteries, which I didn't know, and I fully intend to read them all!
Thank you Netgalley and Down and Out Books for the ARC.

Swann’s Down appears to be the fifth book in the Henry Swann mystery series. This is an enjoyable mystery novel set in Manhattan and Alabama featuring a mismatched pair of operatives, skip tracer Swann and disbarred lawyer Goldblatt. It is a low key mystery without gunfights, Chase scenes, or voluptuous redheads. But it is the story of a plodding operative - he doesn’t like being called a private eye - who tackles two mysteries and gets involved with con games, Fortune tellers, hit men, and missing witnesses. What it lacks in direct action is more than made up for with the cool narrative voice and the constant banter. Definitely going to pick u the other books in the series.
