Today I'm hugely excited and honored to be the third stop of the promotional tour for A.A. Aguirre's new steampunk noir novel, Bronze Gods, hosted by Maja at The Nocturnal Library. Well-written and complex characters are what I always crave when reading, and Ann Aguirre has never once let me down with her many and varied protagonists, so I can't wait to dive into this book and meet inspectors Mikani and Ritsuko!
The tour for this book is quite unique in format, with each blog posting snippets from some of Mikani and Ritsuko's cases that, when read in order, tell a story. Maja has written a perfect introduction to how the tour is going to work, so I'm just going to let her explain in full:
The Criminal Investigation Division of the great city of Dorstaad doesn't normally allow just anyone access to their case files, but after several days of aggressive negotiations (bribery may or may not have been involved), a group of curious bloggers, myself included, has been allowed to rummage through some of the more peculiar cases that their top inspectors, Janus Mikani and Celeste Ritsuko, have worked on. While we were there, mostly unsupervised, we poked around more than was strictly permissible and found some of their personal correspondence as well. It goes without saying that neither of them was present at the time.
The first set of notes can be found at The Nocturnal Library (followed by Rainy Day Ramblings) and the story continues through all the remaining stops, so make sure to check them all out. You can find the links at the bottom of this post.

BRONZE GODS
Danger stalks the city of steam and shadows.
Janus Mikani and Celeste Ritsuko work all hours in the Criminal Investigation Division, keeping citizens safe. He’s a charming rogue with an uncanny sixth sense; she’s all logic—and the first female inspector. Between his instincts and her brains, they collar more criminals than any other partnership in the CID.
Then they’re assigned a potentially volatile case where one misstep could end their careers. At first, the search for a missing heiress seems straightforward, but when the girl is found murdered—her body charred to cinders—Mikani and Ritsuko’s modus operandi will be challenged as never before. Before long, it’s clear the bogeyman has stepped out of nightmares to stalk gaslit streets, and it’s up to them to hunt him down. There’s a madman on the loose, weaving blood and magic in an intricate, lethal ritual that could mean the end of everything…
