The Man In The Dark - Johnathan Whitelaw

Blog Tour stop for this dark mystery with the Devil himself





"The Devil is back and the underworld is going to hell "

Synopsis

The Devil's back - and he's STILL not had a holiday.


There's another mystery to solve - a woman kidnapped by terrorists and the world trying to find her.


While he hates doing God's bidding, The Devil can't resist trying to put one over on Him. But nothing is EVER that simple.


While the Devil helps the London cops crack the case, there's trouble in the Underworld. And two of humanity's greatest backstabbers - Brutus and Cassius - are sharpening their knives with an eye on stealing his crown.


It's a race against time to find the girl, be the bad guy and maybe stop the apocalypse.




My Review



This book is nothing short of utterly fun, I loved it.


I was in the fortunate position to have access to the first of the series "Hellcorp" and I only say this as I am happy I had the opportunity to enjoy both books one after the other!


but please note, each book would work perfectly well as a standalone.


The Man In The Dark picks up more or less just after the end of Hellcorp.


The Devil is back in the world doing god bidding and he's in a mood about it! I loved the whole feel of the devil rebelling against his father.


This all leaves Brutus and Cassius in hell with a free rain and all the trouble this brings, add in a murder mystery and we have a fantastic and laugh at loud at times tale filled with dark humour.


I love how the author almost humanises the Devil at times and you feel for him, yet in his actions show that he is the Devil after all!


both these books were a joy to read and I cannot wait to read more of what I hope will come in this series.
