Nightfall

A Jack Nightingale Supernatural Thriller

By: Stephen Leather

Narrated by: Paul Thornley

“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.

Spooky as Heck!

Would you listen to Nightfall again? Why?

It was a good book and I would listen again if I were going on a long drive with someone who has not heard it.

What other book might you compare Nightfall to and why?

A Stephen King Novel like Tommy Knockers.

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene where Jack tricks one of the devil's minions.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Selling your soul isn't the only option.

Sort of a poor man’s Felix Caster novel

A lot of faffing around where everything of any actual import takes place in the last few chapters. You could pretty much just read those and be done with it.

But since Mike Carey is unlikely to ever complete the Felix Caster Story arc. Well not now he’s got Zombies. This will have to do.

I hope the series improves...

Loved every minute of it!

Not a single bit of filler - something for everyone! Mystery, intrigue, psychological and paranormal thriller! Loved it!

Fantastic Book

What made the experience of listening to Nightfall the most enjoyable?

Two things I have to have when listening to a book...Good Story and Really good Narrater. This book catches you right from the start and doesn't let go. I'll be looking to find something else that Paul Thornley narrated.

What did you like best about this story?

The way the story unfolded. It seemed you as the listener went through the thought process with Jack when he's trying to figure out WHAT IS GOING ON.

Which scene was your favorite?

When he confronts the devil to get his soul back.

IT HAS ALL THE FEELS !

The story is great! narration is real, flowing, and right for each character. Twists, and Turns, and philosophical arguments.
