About this listen

Who was the mysterious girl that danced with the Angevin Crown Prince at the Buda Castle ball, then dashed off leaving behind nothing but a high-heeled shoe?

Down the mean streets of Eighteenth-Century Budapest walks Ferenc Marlowe, failed revolutionary and pioneer private detective. Hired by the Prince to find the missing girl, Marlowe finds himself caught up in a tangled web of court intrigue, dynastic conspiracies and low morals in high places. There are others in the city just as keen that the girl is never found, and Marlowe soon learns that a fairy-tale romance may not always have a happy ending.

Set in an alternative-history Hungary full of religious ferment, political oppression and pre-industrial grime, One Shoe Tale breaks new ground in mashing up hard-boiled detective noire, fairy-tale pastiche, uchronic fiction and just a bit of kinky sex.

I enjoyed this short listen, which seemed straightforward enough at the beginning. However, as the story unfolded, oh boy did that plot-soup thicken into a chewy stew! Though some parts fell flat for me, it’s well worth a listen and is short enough to accommodate you in a pinch without a lot of time. Even better, it’s easy to dip in and out of as you need. This fairytale come PI come historical fiction audiobook gets a solid four stars and will appeal to many audiences.

A unique twist on a classic fairytale set in an alternate historical Hungary

I loved this rendition of the Cinderella fairy tale, placed into the style of Raymond Chandler. Just so much fun! Excellent narration by JT Farrell who captures the tone of the down at heel private eye, to a tee. Highly recommended 💜💜💜💜💜

Fantastic!
