Review
It’s not every day that an audiobook manages to wrap equal parts hilarity, existential pondering, and supernatural mayhem into one irresistible package – but Secondhand Souls by Christopher Moore does just that. Before we dive into the labyrinthine streets of San Francisco where souls go missing and death takes on new meaning, let’s spotlight the performance that elevates this tale: Fisher Stevens’ narration.
From the first moment Stevens’ voice comes through your speakers, it’s clear he’s not simply reading – he’s living each quirky twist and turn alongside Charlie Asher and his motley band of death merchants. Stevens brings a warmth and familiarity to Charlie’s exasperation, as if sharing inside jokes with longtime friends. His timing highlights Moore’s signature wit, letting every punchline land but never overshadowing the story’s emotional undertones. Each character receives its own distinct vocal nuance – from the sardonic banter of sidekicks to Charlie’s weary humor – making San Francisco feel alive with personalities both human and otherworldly.
The narrative picks up where A Dirty Job left off, plunging listeners straight back into chaos. Souls aren’t just dying – they’re vanishing entirely from the city’s metaphysical ledger. Charlie finds himself in one of Moore’s most inventive predicaments yet: stuck inhabiting a “meat puppet” while awaiting a permanent body, tasked with solving mysteries no mortal was meant to untangle. The plot deftly weaves together laugh-out-loud moments with surprisingly poignant reflections on mortality and purpose.
Moore is a master at turning setting into character – the Golden Gate Bridge isn’t just backdrop; it becomes central to otherworldly events that ripple through San Francisco’s neighborhoods. The city pulses with life (and afterlife), each locale textured by Stevens’ evocative delivery.
For those new to Moore’s universe, some plot intricacies might seem dizzying at first – but Stevens’ steady hand guides listeners through even the wildest detours. And if you’re already familiar with his earlier work, you’ll appreciate how Secondhand Souls deepens its themes without ever losing pace or charm.
Ultimately, this audiobook offers more than escapist entertainment – it invites reflection amid laughter, asking what it means for souls (and stories) not just to pass on but sometimes disappear altogether. That rare mix of wit and heart makes Secondhand Souls stand out in science fiction & fantasy – and as an audiobook experience worth savoring.
