Summary

They told you that you would die if you opened the book. But would you dare to read it?

The first audiobook in the international best-selling series, narrated by Jeff Harding.

The Book with No Name is a fast-paced, cinematic listen, shot through with black humour, which will hold you rapt from its intriguing opening to the dramatic climax.

Detective Miles Jensen is called to the lawless town of Santa Mondega to investigate a spate of murders. This would all be quite ordinary in those rough streets, except that Jensen is the Chief Detective of Supernatural Investigations.

The breakneck plot centres around a mysterious blue stone, 'The Eye of the Moon', and the men (and women) who all want to get their hands on it: a mass murderer with a drink problem, a hit man who thinks he's Elvis and a pair of monks among them. Add in the local crime baron, an amnesiac woman who's just emerged from a five-year coma, a gypsy fortune-teller and a hapless hotel porter, and the plot thickens fast.

Most importantly, how do all these people come to be linked to the strange book with no name? The anonymous, ancient book that no one seems to have survived reading? There's only one way to find out what happens when you read the book with no name....

Part of the trilogy which includes The Eye of the Moon and The Devil's Graveyard.

Not great, but not too bad. A bit like pizza if you like this kind of pseudo fiction and fantasy stuff

It’s a bit of fun with a lot of pop references and if you don’t think too much about the story or the writing style or the depth of the characters it’s enjoyable enough. A bit like pizza even when it’s bad it’s still okay. What makes a really enjoyable is Jeff Harding’s narration which always is good

Amazingly enjoyable

Loved every moment of this. Such a great book to escape in to. It has everything, murder, intrigue, super natural twists, turns and comedy. Who doesn't love a good old fancy dress massacre.

I have never read a book like this before!!

This book was recommended to me by a friend, and initially I wasn't sure whether I was going to like it. However, I persevered and boy am I glad I did. It was a brilliant story with twists and turns throughout. The characters would have ordinarily been unbelievable, however in the context of this book they were pervect. The only other thing that I can say is try it for yourself ... persevere and you won't be disappointed

Great story

Although hard to follow character plots at times it was easy to get lost in this book.
