Summary
If you only listen to one book about a ghost detective solving crimes with his own zombified cadaver this year, make it this one.
Jake and Frank are two halves of the same soul: one a phantasm, the other a walking corpse. Jake is the light touch, while Frank is the sledgehammer. Together, they put the P.I. in R.I.P.
The Fletcher boys help restless spirits escape the earthly plane by bringing their killers to justice, but they’re not in it for the money. They do what they do to work off the sins of a misspent youth and buy their way into Heaven.
But for this case to pay out, they’re going to have to determine what the ghost of a murdered prostitute has to do with a clan of highly tenacious vampires, a supernaturally-enhanced assassin, and a street drug made of mashed-up fairy brains.
Oh, and they need to do all that before their phantom client loses her grip on reality and transforms into a wailing, horror movie banshee. Because if they don’t, the drawbridge to the promised land might just slam shut forever.
Mystery, the macabre, and caustic wit collide in this bizarre noir. Fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Mike Carey, and Benedict Jacka will love this exciting detective story with a paranormal twist.

“F**k you Thumbelina and the unicorn you rode in”
Loved the other books in the series so far and this didn’t disappoint either!
Doesn’t take itself too seriously and it had me laughing out loud at parts! I love the wit and one-liners and then add the great characters and fight scenes and it’s all just brilliant!
Great narration with character voices that really fit them and great pacing too!
Can’t wait for more as I was really disappointed when it came to an end.
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.

A strong continuation to a great series.
I was provided a copy of this book free of charge in exchange for an honest review.
I like stories with interesting characters, ones with personality problems meaning that, while their intentions are generally good, their way of getting things done can be a little..messy.
It is for this reason that I really enjoyed the first book in this series and was so looking forward to this sequel, and boy was it worth the wait.
This time round were looking into the murder of a prostitute on behalf of the victim herself and soon Fletcher becomes embroiled in a sticky situation involving vampires, assassins and things even more weird.
As with all of David Bussell's books, the writing here is tight, fat-free and fast paced with action, mystery and a little bit of comedy, all brilliantly portrayed by the excellent vocal talents of Mark Restuccia.
A thoroughly enjoyable tale that both expands on the magical world alongside ours and sets the stage for more strange goings on as the series continues.
