The Unnatural Inquirer Nightside Book 8 Simon R Green 9780441015580 Books

The Unnatural Inquirer (Nightside #9) by Simon R. Green is yet another fantastic addition to Green's Nightside series. John Taylor is at his best, complete with sardonic observations of the world at large. And, of course, the injection of Suzie Shooter immediately elevates the quality of novel. As an avid fan, I've been both gratified and intrigued by Suzie's role as Taylor's girlfriend. As a fellow author who also relishes and includes strong female characters in my own novels, I am completely smitten with the ever-edgy, emotionally complicated, and kick-butt Suzie Shooter.

The Unnatural Inquirer involves the search for a dvd purportedly containing a secret video from the Beyond (heaven or hell, nobody knows), which all of the major Nightside powers are trying to get their hands on. In this case, one of the Nightside's tabloids, The Unnatural Inquirer, has purchased the rights to the dvd, but its owner has gone missing. Naturally, John Taylor is the only detective with the special gift to find the dvd's owner. As part of his search, Taylor must accept the company of a snarky, captivating demon reporter, aptly named Bettie Divine, in order to satisfy the Inquirer's demands. Bettie is a wonderful character, who quite literally "divines" insights into John Taylor's mysterious nature and reputation, as well as challenges his notions of who a suitable companion would be for him. The psychological subplot surrounding this is quite intriguing.

The Unnatural Inquirer excels in its depth by helping readers to understand more about the tenuous fabric and foundations in the Nightside, as well as the effects of recent near-cataclysmic events that have affected the various shifts in both politics and powers. In the end, I was completely satisfied with character development, story flow, and the ever-unexpected and climactic story resolution. I highly recommend it. Well-done yet again, Simon Green!

The Unnatural Inquirer Nightside Book 8 Simon R Green 9780441015580 Books Reviews

Continuing the series where it left off at the end of book 7. I am a fan of Simon Green's work, particularly the Nightside series. If you have read the others, this is a worthy sequel. If you haven't, what are you waiting for? I would strongly suggest starting at the beginning in order to fully experience the series, but there are quite a few places where some of the common weirdness of the Nightside are explained at least as much as they have been previously.

It isn't high literature, but it is entertaining and kept me occupied during my latest flights and airport stays.
While I still found this installment to be interesting not seeing Suzi Shooter for almost the entire book just felt wrong and really Green seems to be casting about for a new way to keep the series interesting that he just can't seem to find. Hell to Pay was fine not only did it deal with the power vacuum left over from the Lilith War it also had an A story that was interesting. That is not the case in this book. Shooter is gone replaced with an idiotic stand-in I wanted to strangle after 10 pages. The interesting power vacuum stuff raised in the last book was not touched on at all and the part of the story where John goes in search of yet another magic object that could spell the end of all life in the Nightside is starting to wear a little thin plus the item isn't even all that impressive when you stack it up against all of the others he has dealt with over the years.

In spite of my problems with this book I am actually kind of encouraged it has not been my experience with Green that he continues down a bad track when he realizes he has dug himself into a hole. I hated "Nightside's Lement" and almost put the series aside but the book after that unfortunate installment was the start of all of the events that lead to the Lilith war so just because something is a little stale right now doesn't mean that it will stay that way. I am hopeful. Maybe another trip through time would help?

Overall-I'm going to keep on trucking with this series but the next installment is really going to have to "wow" me to get me back on board.
The Nightside a place extant without influence from Above or Below. If you want it, you can find it in the Nightside... if it doesn't find you first.

The Nightside is this world's melting pot for EVERYthing mystical, magical, maniacal, holy, hellish, or downright bizare. It is a secret part of London, always 3AM, and technology is often seen side by side with elements of the Arcane.

John Taylor, Private Eye, is the hero of every story in the Nightside. He has a gift, a psychic gift, for "Finding Things". These could be anything from lost objects to ways to unbind a Voodoun Loa god from its earthly container....

In this episode, John is hired by the Unnatural Inquirer (tabloid to the Nightside's Stars) to find The Afterlife Broadcast, a DVD containing a broadcast from Somebody. Is it from Above? Below? Is it even authentic? Who is the Broadcast to? Where is it, and who has it now? Who will pay more for it than the last offer?

John is befriended by Bettie, a half-demon succubus reporter for the Unnatural Inquirer, and together they run into all kinds of trouble. The Removal Man, the Cardinal, and a collection of deadly combat sorcerers called the Clan Buckaroo -- killer magicians in a Cowboy motif, down to holsters and Stetsons.

How do they get out of this one? What's on the DVD? What is the Afterlife about? The answers may satisfy you in The Unnatural Inquirer.
