Summary

Artemus Black doesn't believe in fate...but even a hardened Hollywood PI can question destiny when cases turn ugly.

With an assistant who mocks him relentlessly, an obese cat that loathes him, a romantic life that's deader than Elvis, money problems, booze, nicotine, and anger management issues, how much worse can it get?

The answer is plenty, and Black finds himself in a web of deceit, betrayal, and murder - and bad hair days.

If you love Chandler and Hammett, Black's irreverent nod to the noir classics is sure to draw smiles and keep you listening late into the night.

Get it now!

A four-novel bundle of the critically acclaimed Black series from a New York Times best-selling author.

Entertaining Light-hearted Detective Thriller

Really entertaining and good value at 4 books in one. The dialog is funny and helps the story along. Bosch but more affable with humour and less complicated plots.

RC Bray was the pull but wow what a great series.

I love RC Bray’s narration and that’s why I gave this a spin. I was rewarded with a fabulous series that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed and it’s left me wanting more. Great characters and fun stories. I would highly recommend.

Modern light-hearted take on Chandler

Addictive and very hard to break away from even for a day. The plot is mostly gripping and rather tight, maybe with the exception of the fourth instalment, which does seem slightly over the top. Despite that, it is probably the funniest part in the series. The characters are interesting and produce plenty of humour and very nice interactions. The narrator is probably at his finest in trying to breathe life in all of the different characters. A must for fans of the genre.

Best value-for-money bundle out there

This is a four novel bundle which can be listened to as separate stories as, although all the characters continue through each book, they are stand alone mysteries.
They are an excellent listen, brilliantly narrated as always by R C Bray. Highly recommended.

Fantastic books, Brilliant Narration.

These books are really amazing, so much description (without being flowery) so much personality and plenty of humour...

I have totally enjoyed listening to these vivid stories, each with its own twist. The books present you with recurring characters which help build the atmosphere and environment.


The investigations are intriguing, fun and generally pleasing to listen to.
I cannot rate these books enough!

The 4 book Black bundle, was read brilliantly by R. C. Bray, what a narrator! He reads these to perfection, with charm and personality.

I felt like I was in the midst of a P.I adventures; as his voice took me there. Seriously though R. C. Bray is magnificent a true joy to listen to. Pairing this book to this narrator was sheer genius.

Enjoy these books, although I am sure you will, as seriously They are NOT to be missed!!

Very funny

Well read (RC Bray) Well worth the credit. I purchased this because of the narrator and was not disappointed, its funny from page one, the stories were really good and I'm generally not a detective story fan.
