About this audiobook

From NY Times and USA Today bestselling author Patricia Loofbourrow ...

"... a story that is almost irresistible." SciFi and Scary

Kidnapping. Murder. Betrayal.

1899 years after the Catastrophe, the steam-powered domed city of Bridges is controlled by the Mob.

For the past ten years, Jacqueline Spadros has spent her days in a gilded cage, her nights haunted by her best friend Air's murder. Air tried to stop her sale to the Spadros crime family, and he died for it.

In a city that hates her just because of where she was born, Jacqui has secretly become a private detective to earn enough money of her own to escape. But when Air's little brother goes missing, she has to decide: live with the nightmares and guilt, or defy her husband's sadistic father to save the boy?

Dark, gritty, multi-layered Victorian-inspired detective neo-noir that keeps the reader guessing to the very end.


Lovers of Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, Phillip Marlowe, The Expanse, Seanan McGuire, or the Sherlock Holmes mysteries will enjoy this debut novel of the Red Dog Conspiracy series.

Audio Review: The Jaques Of Spades ( The Red Dog Conspiracy #1) This book is about a female private eye named Jacquiline Spades who is married to a man in one of the four crime families in this city named Bridges in the post-apocalyptic reminiscent of a Victorian Era city. She goes in search of a missing child. A steampunk fiction/ Noir Crime with a storyline that is amazing as there are a lot of twist and turns I was hooked right from the first chapter. If you like mystery, mobsters, corrupt police and a novice private eye you will love this very well written book Looking forward to listening to the next book in this series. Highly recommend listening to this series. I listened on Authors Direct which has issues directly related to the app not the performance or story. Narator Machelle Williams is a highly talented narator. Her inflection was smooth and on point. I felt she portrayed the role of Jacqueline Spades perfectly. Her intonation was exactly what I would picture as Jacqueline's character. I felt like I was right there listening to everything occurring. I highly recommend listening to this audio.
