Summary

Lots of Vampires. No Sparkles. Serious Snark.

Children are missing.

The police are stumped.

Halloween is coming, and an ancient evil is on the horizon.

The vampires are the good guys.

This is not your ordinary fall weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina. Vampire private detectives Jimmy Black and Greg Knightwood have been hired to save a client from being cursed for all eternity, but end up in a bigger mess than they ever imagined.

Suddenly trapped in the middle of a serial kidnapping case, Jimmy and Greg uncover a plot to bring forth an ancient evil. Soon, they've enlisted the help of a police detective, a priest, a witch, a fallen angel, and a strip club proprietor to save the world. This unlikely band of heroes battles zombies, witches, neuroses, and sunburn while cracking jokes and looking for the perfect bag of O-negative.

Fun Read

Where does Hard Day's Knight rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is a comedic style somewhat like Molly Harper. I felt it was a Dresden look-a-like with vamps. No stress but a reasonable listen

What was one of the most memorable moments of Hard Day's Knight?

The explanation as to how Jimmy turned his sidekick Greg. Typical student drunk idiocy.

Any additional comments?

I like the way John doesn't spend pages and pages explaining vampire myths and how they fit into this story. As I read I could see Jimmy and Greg as people, actually I could see my son at university with his mates. The priest reminded me of Michael in the Dresden Books.
The one thing I could not see is how the love interest developed, there was no lead up at all. That part could have been written a great deal better.
Saying all that I quite enjoyed the book.
