Book Reviews of Hell to Pay (Nightside, Book 7)
Book Review: A Return to the Detective Tale
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't know who wrote the blurb on the back of this one but it had little to do with the book itself. In the wake of the Lilith War the Nightside and its inhabitants is in a state of recovery. One of the most powerful remaining is the immortal Griffon. He contacts John to find out who has kidnaped his granddaughter. She was to be the sole inheritor of the Griffon's enormous estate but now she has disappeared. But right at the start of the case John finds out someone, or thing, is shutting down his gift when he tries to find the heiress. He is going to have to solve this case the old fashioned way.
John only has a short period of time to find the missing girl. As a gumshoe he proceeds to interview the entire Griffon clan in hopes of getting a lead. Meanwhile the Griffon is hoping that John's reputation can succeed in forcing the kidnapper's hand. John delves deep into the family history and keeps coming up with absolutely nothing until the pieces finally start to fall into place and make sense.
The back of the book claims this is a book about the power vacuum and how some want Taylor to assume power but it is not. Instead we get a book much closer to the first in the series. We get a good hard-boiled mystery and more insight into the Nightside and its denizens. Most of the usual support cast are not present. Although some are mentioned we never see Susie Shooter or Razor Eddie. This was also a nice return to earlier days as Taylor really has to rely on his own skills to solve the mystery and set things as right as they can be. A very good tale. Check it out.
