The Grey Caps, eldritch beings composed of fungus, have al last risen from the shadowed underlevels of the city and taken control.Our main character is John Finch, a detective tasked by his Grey Cap overlords with solving a murder. The investigation will take him from one quarter of the occupied city state to another. He goes head to head with criminals, rebels, foreign spies and interdimensional entities while he hunts truth that, like fungus, is buried in darkness and hidden under piles of excrement.Discovering the murdered man’s identity will connect Finch and the attentive, accompanying readers to the events of past books, and the wider struggle that will finally settle the fate of Ambergris and all her citizens.Vandermeer has outdone himself with this terse, gritty adventure and proven his mastery of multiple genres and conventions with this venture into detective fiction. The feel, sentence structure and language could have been lifted from a Chandleresque novel, blended seamlessly with the surreal.The only fault is that so much of the mystery and the final denouement is dependent on what has gone before in the prior books. Thus Vandermeer had placed his most straightforward and accessible story last.Definitely read this one, but start with City of Saints and Madmen and Shriek: An Afterward before picking up Finch and seeing how it all turns out. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an incredible book. *by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2016* I don't write reviews very often, but "Finch" deserved one. It is rare that I found a book that is this exceptionally well-written, and totally sucks me into the lives of the characters. These days, I am mostly satisfied with books that are moderately well-written with engaging characters. With "Finch," I cared desperately about the title character, I cared about his detective partner, his mysterious neighbor, his more mysterious girlfriend--hell, I even cared about his damned cat. The story contained a lot of pain, but also some hope. There is only one problem with "Finch." To appreciate it fully, I strongly recommend reading both "City of Saints and Madmen" and "Shriek--An Afterword," and these are VERY different books from "Finch." If I hadn't, for some reason I can no longer remember, bought all 3 of these books together, I would never have made it to "Finch." I wouldn't have gotten past the first book, which while extremely well-written (all 3 of them are), is not a single story, and much of it isn't really a story at all. For me, that book was hard-going, although hysterically funny in some places. But I pushed through it, and the second book (which WAS a single story, but for me, not as engaging as "Finch"). In retrospect, I'm glad I made it through those first 2 books, because it makes "Finch" exponentially more powerful. For those who have read the first book, and are just considering the second book and/or "Finch," be warned: Finch is the darkest of the 3, and all 3 have dark overtones. "Finch" has the least humor, by far, but the most sympathetic characters. So read "Finch," DEFINITELY read "Finch," but read the first 2 before you do, and persevere even if they are not your cup of tea. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read, fantastic worldbuilding *by Z***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2015* Honestly, I only bought this because it was a Kindle Deal of the Day, and therefore cheap. Now that I've read it, though, I'd say it's worth the full price, and I'm really glad I decided to pick it up. This is a great, spellbinding read, and there is some absolutely fantastic worldbuilding going on here. I'm not familiar with VanderMeer's other novels (though I'm definitely going to pick them up), so the world of Ambergris was a new one for me. You're tossed right into the action -- we don't spend any time explaining the world, you just pick up your information in bits and pieces, here and there -- but you're never lost, unless it's clear that you are meant to be, usually when the main character is equally lost and trying to put everything together. I didn't want to put this book down, and I'm waiting for the next opportunity to revisit the world of Ambergris. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/177766466-finch-audio-cd-unabridged-april-2-2013](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/177766466-finch-audio-cd-unabridged-april-2-2013) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
