Something from the Nightside by Simon R. Green

4.0

I’ve read the whole series and just re-read this after lending it to a friend. I love the world building, turning hard-boiled detective noire up to 11. The writing can get a little self-referential and wordy on descriptions of people and places, and characters certainly turn into exposition machines at points. But it all serves to build Green’s image of the Nightside, and I love spending time there.

It’s incredible the amount of foreshadowing and story hooks introduced in book one that get filled out later in the series.
