Publisher's summary

Half-vampire Ollie inherits his uncle's detective agency in the undead town of Skullenia. With the agency comes his uncle's staff: a zombie who can barely hold himself together, a zombie the size of a phone box and with a single digit IQ, a mad professor, and Ronnie, who has the ability to make himself invisible.

Skullenia seems to be the last place that would need a detective agency. At least, that is what Ollie thinks until Count Jocular commissions him to help resolve a series of unexplained disappearances.

But, has Ollie bitten off more than he can chew? With the help of his motley crew and some quite frankly ridiculous characters, he attempts to solve this perplexing mystery.

Amusing

The story was clever and the narration was well done. It is a easy book to simply relax with and enjoy.

Not what I was looking for

I was lookiing for something a little lighter more on the lines of Inspector Hobbes and the Blood.

Great listen

I really enjoyed this story. The narrator is brilliant and made a great book an amazing listen. I have listened to it several times. Good to listen to along with my granddaughter. Thank you

Dry British humor? I think not!

This book was awesome, I can't wait for the next one. I love the paranormal books, I love the small differences from British authors. Combine them for an awesome story. The deadpan delivery from the narrator just adds to the story.

Interesting

This book was very unique. The story was okay. The narrator was so good. Enjoy
