Though enjoying an increase in business following his last case, life isn't all roses for private investigator Harlan Ulrich. His newest job, another missing person's case, is unlike any other he's ever taken on. Local businessman Michael Poole hires Ulrich to find his estranged daughter. The problem? She's been dead for a decade. Join Ulrich on a trip into the darkness, into the frostbitten underworld, as he seeks out a hateful phantom with only a cat and a thermos of good coffee on his side.

I'm sort of reading this series backwards but so far it hasn't been an issue. The book Darkside Blues starts of slow and was sort of difficult to get into, but I kept trudging along and I soon couldn't put it down. I was listening to it every chance I got - on my way to work, on my lunch, making dinner, you get the picture. The further along I got into the book the more intriguing it got as well. I'm excited to go back and read books one and two. 

The Narrator, Jake Urry was phenomenal! I loved his accent and the way he was able to do the sound effects with absolutely no mistakes. He just made the story flow and it made it that much better. 

Overall, I give Darkside Blues five stars!
