I enjoyed this book very much. I found the characters interesting and multilayered, the setting intriguing, and the plot engaging. John Taylor is a unique PI and I look forward to reading about more of his cases. I agree with another reviewer who found the constant repetition of "in the Nightside" to be annoying -- if the tale had repeatedly ventured back and forth from our mundane world to the Nightside then the reminders wouldn't have been so out of place, but aside from the opening chapter Everything occurred in the dark and sinfully indulgent realm of the Nightside.

I've also read the second volume of this series and am happy to say the author Simon Green refrained from the constant reminders of the location, perhaps because the whole story took place in the Nightside. Both books refer to past experiences of the main character, John Taylor, which adds dimension to him. I look forward to reading more about him.
