About this listen
If you only listen to one book about a ghost detective solving crimes with his own zombified cadaver this year, make it this one.
Jake and Frank are two halves of the same soul: one a phantasm, the other a walking corpse. Jake is the light touch, while Frank is the sledgehammer. Together, they put the P.I. in R.I.P.
The Fletcher boys help restless spirits escape the earthly plane by bringing their killers to justice, but they’re not in it for the money. They do what they do to work off the sins of a misspent youth and buy their way into Heaven.
But for this case to pay out, they’re going to have to determine what the ghost of a murdered prostitute has to do with a clan of highly tenacious vampires, a supernaturally-enhanced assassin, and a street drug made of mashed-up fairy brains.
Oh, and they need to do all that before their phantom client loses her grip on reality and transforms into a wailing, horror movie banshee. Because if they don’t, the drawbridge to the promised land might just slam shut forever.
Mystery, the macabre, and caustic wit collide in this bizarre noir. Fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Mike Carey, and Benedict Jacka will love this exciting detective story with a paranormal twist.

Now he works the streets as a phantom detective, offering his services to lost souls trapped between this world and the next. But will good deeds buy him a ticket to the Good Place, or is he destined to walk the Earth as a phantom for all eternity? In the spirit of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, mystery, scares, and the paranormal collide in this bizarre noir.

Joseph Lake doesn’t know who he is or where he came from, but he’s beginning to think that the answer might be the death of him. By day, Joseph scrubs toilets and fixes broken light fittings, by night he looks into weird stuff: Local hauntings, unexplained disappearances, satanic cabals dancing naked around ancient stone circles. The usual. The uncanny calls to him like a beacon, and he follows its signal wherever it leads, hoping that one day it will shine a light on who he really is.

A witch’s familiar must protect London from the monsters that lurk in the shadows; the creatures that seek to unravel the fabric of things and send a city to hell. Stella Familiar was created by the London Coven out of spit and blood. She’s a fighter, a blunt instrument, built to destroy the forces of evil and keep peace in the capital. She’s carried out her duty for decades, but when the witches who gave birth to her are butchered, it’s up to her alone to save a city of nine million people. Mystery, scares, and fast-paced action collide in this thrilling urban fantasy.

Story
My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

His investigations lead Alex to a famous thief, a daring heist, and the search for a mythic book of ancient magic, but none of that brings him any closer to finding the man responsible for the massacre. With the police and New York’s Council of Sorcerers desperate to find the culprit, Alex becomes a suspect himself, thanks to his ties to the priest who ran the soup kitchen.

And if she could only survive until the five o'clock hour, she'd land the job that was every mystic thief's dream: employment at SPL Inc. But the head of SPL, Elric Ostergaard, has other plans, and he's put one additional task on Esme's job application, which must be completed before he'll hire her.

My name is Quinn MacKenna, and magic doesn’t work on me. When I’m not getting roped into bar brawls in Boston, I’m usually acquiring - stealing is a form of acquisition, you know - dangerous magical artifacts to turn around and sell them to the highest bidders. But I prefer to be paid in favors, not money. Because favors are a hot commodity in the Land of the Fae. Favors are the only currency that will buy the answers I seek: Why magic doesn’t work on me, and who my real father is.

This business comes with a few basic rules: don't start drinking before noon, don't get your partner killed, don't sleep with the woman who killed him. Last year I broke all of them.

My name is Nate Temple, and I’m secretly a wizard. I ride a foul-mouthed unicorn, I drink with Achilles, and I’m pals with the Four Horsemen. I’ve even cow-tipped the Minotaur. I understand the theory of following the rules...I’m just not very good at the application. Because rules were meant to be broken, and St. Louis has a bit of a supernatural infestation these days. Someone should probably be keeping an eye on these things -and probably an eye on me, too. Before I blow up another building...or three.

Even better than the first book!
Just like the first one, this book was action-packed and fast-paced, with amazing characters and high, high stakes. What I love the most about this series is Jake's weird sense of humor and the hilarious way he tells his story. Highly recommended!

Great story!
I enjoyed Deadly Departed and the Fletchers fighting for what’s right in order to redeem himself into his afterlife. David Bussell and MV Stott’s story was very well written and engaging. There are a lot of interesting characters and the narrator Mark Restuccia voiced them uniquely. I highly recommend this book!

Started with this one, now need to hunt the rest.
I got this book as a free review copy because it sounded vaguely interesting. Once I started listening it grabbed me. I do not think its fair to compare it to other certain supernatural investigator novels, because it goes its own direction completely.
The book works well as a stand alone thing, as it gave enough information for me to not feel lost, but at the same time, has left me craving the rest of the books.
The mystery is well written, with enough 'twists' to keep things interesting without feeling like it was trying to be confusing, and was one of those books that actually gives you the clues along the way so if you so desire, you could form your own theory and possibly be right.

Righting the Wrongs
Deady Departed is a phenomenally written book that was full of humor, Vergara vampires, Unseemly Fae Royal not to mention a ghost and a zombie. What could go wrong? Anything and everything. The comedic banter between the characters is a laugh a minute as they try to turn dark situations a little lighter. The storyline is absolutely amazing as Fletcher and Fletcher try to help a ghost solve her murder but find themselves twisting in the wind as things come forth. I loved the ending because you are able to see the growth that each character has made. This maybe my first David Bussell and M.V. Scott book but it will definitely not be my last. I highly recommend this book and series.
I was given a copy of this audiobook but that by no means has anything to do with this voluntary honest unbiased review.

I very much enjoyed this story. I love Fletcher and Fletcher as characters and the side characters they pick up on the way are interesting. The story line is well done and the narrator does an excellent job telling the story. I highly recommend this book.

Those fabulous Fletchers!
Jake and Frank Fletcher are back in another “unputdownable”, fast-paced, action-filled adventure filled with insanely wonderful characters and loads of laugh-out-loud moments. After being hired by a damsel-in-distress of the ghostly persuasion to track down her murderer, our paranormal investigators embark on a journey that sets them in the crosshairs of bloodthirsty vampires, royalty of the Fae Unseelie Court, tattooed assassins, an extra-dimensional demon, and a dragon. What could possibly go wrong? Don’t ask….just pick up a copy of this book/audiobook and settle in for a wildly entertaining ride. I chose to listen to the audiobook while reading along and it was a wonderful experience. I could listen to the narrator, Mark Restuccia, all day long. He always provides such an enjoyable experience with his accent, his inflections, his cadence, and the way he makes each character distinct from all the others. In truth, if you enjoy paranormal fantasy, you cannot go wrong with any of the Uncanny Kingdom series.

Love This Series & The Uncanny Kingdom
Deadly Departed by David Bussell and M.V. Stott is Book 2 in the Fletcher & Fletcher, Paranormal Investigators series. As usual this is another fast paced, page turning thrill ride adventure that has it all -- beautifully written with marvelous characters, wonderfully detailed world, funny moments (you actually laugh out loud), suspense. Jake and Frank Fletcher are hired to find a murderer and while investigating they encounter Fae Unseelie Court royalty, bloodthirsty vampires, assassins, a demon, and a dragon. Love it when Jazz Hands is around. This is a not-put-downable read as well as a no-stop-listening-to story that I highly recommend. Mark Restuccia is an excellent narrator, easy to listen to, and brings the story to life.

Great Story! Great Series!
I really enjoyed Fletcher & Fletcher and the mischief the Ghost Fletcher gets them into.
The Ghost Fletcher is really a sucker for women with a sob story, and though Burned several times before still believes this newest one!
I shake my head at the story and tell the book, "No! Don't fall for this again!"
Narrator does a Great job with this entire Series and Makes the story come to life.

All is not as it seems
Fletcher's snark and attitude are everything!! It was a really heartfelt moment when Frank was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, but Jake's heart shone through and looked for another way out. I'm not a fan of zombies, but because of Frank I have a soft spot in my heart for him and can't look at them in the same way again. The laughs, mystery, and nonstop action are top notch. I love the way the author pulls his main character from the brink of disaster time and time again. Jake and Frank make an untouchable team along with their odd sidekicks. Another winner. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did an excellent job bringing the characters and story to life.
