About this ebook
Mein Name ist John Taylor. Ich bin Privatdetektiv in der Nightside, der finsteren, kaputten Stadt im Herzen Londons, wo nie die Sonne scheint und Lust und Schrecken immer zu haben sind - wenn man sie bezahlen kann. Der Herausgeber des Unnatural Inquirer - des berüchtigtsten Schundblatts der Nightside - hat mir eine Million Pfund geboten, wenn ich den Mann finde, der behauptet, Beweise für das Leben nach dem Tod auf DVD zu haben. Der Inquirer hat dem Kerl viel Geld geboten. Dann ist er mitsamt der DVD verschwunden. Ich weiß nicht, ob das Ding echt ist - aber für eine Million Pfund bin ich bereit, es zu glauben. Das Problem ist, dass der Scheibe noch jemand auf der Spur ist - jemand mit sehr viel Macht. Wer auch immer es ist, setzt alles daran, die Aufnahme vor mir zu finden ...

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I hope a future book takes place entirely in the evil carnival...how fun would that be? John Taylor and a succubus reporter are on the trail of a DVD that contains a message from heaven or hell. Love this series. Too fun!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Nightside. Everyone's favorite guilty pleasure that they can't ever leave behind. Literally. And, I must confess, I'm one of those who got sucked into the Nightside years ago, tried to get out, and now am back because I just couldn't resist. I used to be a pretty hard-core fan, always picking up the latest Nightside novel as soon as it hit shelves. But after I read Hell to Pay a few years ago, I stopped paying attention to the Nightside. It's hard to explain, but I just wasn't as enchanted by it anymore, and I had grown somewhat bored of it, so I stopped reading cold turkey. Then, I recently read the news that the series was going to end, with the final novel hitting shelves early next year. After constantly seeing the dark and fascinating covers of the Nightside novels as they continued, I thought it was finally time to go back.Returning to the Nightside after being gone for so long was like visiting with old friends -who haven't changed at all in the meantime. I slipped easily back into the Nightside world, again discovering what exactly it was about the dark world that originally captivated me. This time around, our hero John Taylor, sets off to find a DVD for the horrible tabloid rag The Unnatural Inquirer that could contain some an actual recording of the afterlife. With Shotgun Suzie in tow, it's never just the simple.It's really funny reading this book now, especially with everything going on with Rupert Murdoch and News of the World's wiretapping. The way that Green describes The Unnatural Inquirer sounds almost exactly like what's going on Murdoch, but taking to an even bigger extreme. While Green wrote this story years ago, it's funny to see how closely it parallels current events.It really was great getting back to the Nightside. Now that it looks like the series has a clear ending and a stronger focus on where it's going, it's far more enjoyable. I almost hate to admit it, but I've been sucked back into the Nightside and I don't want to leave.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5John Taylor is hired by the Nightside gossip sheet to find an intercepted transmission showing the afterlife. This reads like a tour of the Nightside. A fun read but not much to the story.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Many phrases are repeated throughout the series, which makes them become somewhat flat. But I still like the sarcasm; however, it isn't as good as what Harry Dresden can do.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the 8th book in the Nightside series by Simon Green. It followed much in the pattern of the last book. Which is to say, it was okay.In this book someone has promised the Unnatural Inquirer (a Nightside tabloid) exclusive rights to a DVD recording from the Afterlife. The Unnatural Inquirer hires John Taylor to find it when it goes missing. They send Betty Divine along with him to document his findings along the way.This book was just okay. The series seems to have lost some of it's interest and urgency with the completion of the over-arcing story in "Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth". I am still confused why the series didn't end with that book. The only thing that is left mysteriously unanswered is where Walker's power is coming from now that the Authorities are dead.This seemed like another transition book. Really I would only think you'd need one of those to wrap up the first main story. Somehow all the characters in this book seem tired and bored. Betty Divine was a pitiful sidekick. She was clingy and unhelpful and painfully uninteresting. Many of the quips that were so amusing up to this point are starting to seem overused. The creativity that amuses me so much was there, but not to the degree it normally is.Overall this book was a quick, well-written, and fun read...but it was also a bit disappointing as we wait for something big and interesting to start happening again. Hopefully the next book will be better.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am never disappointed when I pick up the next installment of the Nightside series. Noir detective meets the supernatural, with so many different characters and backstories you never get bored.Once again, John Taylor is on the case, this time he has been asked to find a DVD which provides proof of an afterlife. This time he has a plucky sidekick - an investigative reporter (who happens to be part succubus). If you've read all the previous Nightside novels, this is another good read to add to the shelf.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5While not my favorite Nightside book, this is still a better than average read by Simon Green. John Taylor is hired by the Nightside's most infamous gossip rag to locate the man who sold them a recording from the afterlife and then disappeared. He's unwillingly partnered with half-demon reporter Bettie. The ending of the central mystery is actually very satisfying,and there's the usual treat of truly odd characters and places that makes Green's Nightside special, but John seems to be having too easy of a time of it. He's grown so powerful that there's almost no suspense, just curiosity for how he'll get himself out of whatever he's gotten himself into. I think the central drama was supposed to be the temptation Bettie posed to his hands-off love affair with Shotgun Suzie, but Bettie was too annoying to make it convincing. With no real danger, either to John's life or his heart, I found this episode lacked the usual page-turning quality of the other Nightside books.
