Summary

“You’re going to hell, Jack Nightingale”: They are words that ended his police career. Now Jack’s a struggling private detective – and the chilling words come back to haunt him.

Nightingale’s life is turned upside down the day that he inherits a mansion from a man who claims to be his father. It comes with a warning that Nightingale’s soul was sold at birth and a devil will come to claim it on his 33rd birthday – just three weeks away.

Jack doesn’t believe in Hell, but when people close to him start to die horribly, he is led to the inescapable conclusion that real evil may be at work. And that if he doesn’t find a way out, he’ll be damned in hell for eternity.

Jolly good fun

First time I have heard this writer and was pleasantly pleased with my choice. Its a good fun, slightly spooky romp and the narration fits the book perfectly. Its not the most thought provoking or intellectual of reads, but then I don't always want to be challenged by what I listen to. In a nut shell, its well written, well narrated and fun.

Good story

I have read a lot of Stephen Leather books but this is the first paranormal one. Although, like with any books of this ilk, you have to suspend belief a little, I enjoyed it very much. I liked the reader too except for the annoying pause between ‘said’ and the name of the person speaking as was mentioned by an earlier reviewer.

Demon mystery

I surprised myself with this choice. Chosen mostly for something different and pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it. Slight disappointment that the ending was a touch predictable, but overall an enjoyable listen. The narrator handled the various characters quite well.

Excellent story

Took a little while to get into the story then couldn't wait to get back to it. Really looking forward to the rest of the series. Paul Thornley reads it extremely well.

One of my favourites

This is one of my favourite books/series. The story, the narration, they're all near perfect. I have listened to this book numerous times and I am sure I will again, a really enjoyable read. I'm off to re-read book 2 now...

What a gripping tale.

I have never come across Stephen Leather's books before, but if this is indicative of the standard of his stories, I will be looking for more in the future. I was so gripped by the tension of Jack Nightingale being surrounded by death and mayhem as he tries to find out the truth about his birth and the fate that awaits him on his 33rd birthday that I stayed awake half the night listening, because I just had to know what happened next. It is a long book, but my attention never wavered, which is rare. I recommend this as a jolly good 'read' to anyone who enjoys thrillers. A beautiful reading job by Paul Thornley, whose voice was perfect for the character, was the icing on the cake.

Very different

An unusual storyline, supernatural but down to earth due to the brilliant narration of Paul Thornley.
Jack Nightingale's birthday is approaching, but he receives the unwelcome news that his soul has been traded and will be given up when he reaches his 33rd birthday. Various people repeat 'You're going to hell Jack Nightingale' and he has a race against time to find out what it's all about and save himself. Very different, looking forward to the next book.

unusual but great book

I did enjoy this book. Not a subject I would normally read. it was a bit of a page turner in the audio sense. The ending was very good but had a slightly unfinished feel to it right at the last sentence. I wanted to hear more. The narrator was perfect. A voice I could listen to forever. I will be looking for other books he has narrated. And other books by this author.
