Really enjoyed listening to this book. The voices were well done (for the most part... listening to a man try to create the voice of an upper class lady was more hilarious than successful).I loved the characters, they all have creative and interesting names (well those from the nightside) and fascin...

Simon R. Green ist nicht nur ein erfolgreicher Science-Fiction und Fantasy Autor, er hat auch das Drehbuch für den Horrorfilm „Judas Ghost“ geschrieben. Die Kurzbeschreibung des Films klingt, als entspräche dieser Streifen genau meinem Geschmack. Bedauerlicherweise konnte ich nicht herausfinden, ob ...

Nothing earth-shattering, but fun and entertaining to read.

I didn't know if I still had it in me to be really dangerous, but I thought so. It's like knocking someone off a bike with a baseball bat; you never really lose the knack. For the last five years, John Taylor has lived in exile in the London most of us would recognise, scraping a living as a priv...

I didn't dig John Taylor so much. And there goes your UF series. He is an ok main character, but the whole "I can't let peopel come close for REASONS" is not exactly original, and guess what? He didn't adhere to his own stupid rule and made kissy-face with his client after approximately 2 hours of...

The very first sentence lets us know we're in the land of noir, that this will be about a "private eye." And boy, within paragraphs we have all the hallmarks. We have the sardonic first person narration of John Taylor--a private investigator complete with grungy low-rent office, bill collectors call...

This is a story of a part of London most people don't want to go into, that part that's always 3am, the Nightside. John Taylor escaped years ago and now a missing teenager brings him back, but nothing is what it seems and the future and past and present are just accomodations. The ending left me wa...

London's underworld. Many different, strange characters, all of them dull. Including the main character, who is but a parody of the film noir detective. I love the supernatural, but this is just really boring, despite the strange new underworld it promises.

This one went a little further into the sci-fi/fantasy realm for my usual taste but it seemed to work.Our hero, John Taylor, is a detective, in the noir sense of the word, who "finds lost things". He was born and raised in a hidden, darker side of London, Nightside, where horror and fantasy are the ...

John Taylor is a private detective. And not a very successful one, given his mounting debts and declining business. He used to be very good – 5 years ago when he was still in the Nightside where his ability, to be able to find anything, actually worked.But the Nightside is a dangerous place, where l...
