Publisher's summary
A ghost-turned-private investigator must rescue the souls of murder victims to atone for his mortal sins.
Jake Fletcher is an ex-exorcist. No, that wasn't a stutter. Once upon a time, he evicted ghosts for a living, at least until he got killed and became one. 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. The Spectral Detective, Three-Book Collection combines the first three books in the Spectral Detective series: Spectral Detective, Corpse Reviver, and Twice Damned.

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.

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.

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.

Story
Kim Lam is an ordinary college student until a freak scientific accident (what else?) transforms Kim and three housemates into Sparks - and drafts them into the never-ending war between the Light and Dark. They struggle to master their new abilities - and (of course) to design cool costumes and come up with great hero-names. Turns out that "accident" was just the first salvo in a Mad Genius's latest diabolical scheme. Now it's up to four newbie heroes to save the day, before they even have a chance to figure out what their team's name should be!

Vincent Corinthos has two things going for him: he's a top operative of a secret agency tasked with handling paranormal threats, and he's half-god. Normally that's a combo that leaves him well-equipped to handle any problems that come his way. Until now. Something is snatching Boston's most powerful paranormal entities right off the streets. Vampires, lycanthropes, fae, gremlins - no one is safe. No ransom notes, no bodies, no witnesses.

Story
Felix Castor is a freelance exorcist, and London is his stomping ground. It may seem like a good ghostbuster can charge what he likes and enjoy a hell of a lifestyle, but there's a risk: sooner or later he's going to take on a spirit that's too strong for him. When Castor accepts a seemingly simple ghost-hunting case at a museum in the shadowy heart of London, what should have been a perfectly straightforward exorcism is rapidly turning into the Who Can Kill Castor First Show, with demons and ghosts all keen to claim the big prize.

Story
My name's Quinn. If you buy into my reputation, I'm the most notorious demon hunter in New England. But rumors of my badassery have been slightly exaggerated. Instead of having kung-fu skills and a closet full of medieval weapons, I'm an ex-junkie with a talent for being in the wrong place at the right time. Or the right place at the wrong time. Or…whatever. Wanted for crimes against inhumanity I (mostly) didn't commit, I was nearly a midnight snack for a werewolf until I was "saved" by a vampire calling itself the Bride of Quiet.

NYPD detective Paul Donner and his wife Elise were killed in a hold-up gone wrong. Fifty years later, Donner is back: revived courtesy of the Shift. Supposedly the unintended side-effect of a botched biological terrorist attack and carried by a ubiquitous retrovirus, the Shift jump-starts dead DNA and throws the life cycle into reverse, so reborns like Donner must cope with the fact that they are not only slowly youthing toward a new childhood, but have become New York's most hated minority.

Sam Hunter is a bit of an animal. He's a former Twin Cities cop who lost his badge because of excessive force. Abusive husbands, child molesters, and other lowlifes wound up looking like they'd been mauled by a dog...or a wolf. Now Sam's a low-rent PI in Philadelphia. He takes the kinds of cases no one wants.

Supernatural Bounty Hunter isn't the sort of thing you see on LinkedIn. But with a rare type of magic like mine, I don't have many options. Dangerous or not, the job is mine. And it was going fine, until an old-as-sin vampire stole my mark, and with it, my pay day. Knowing I'm poor and desperate, he has offered me a job. I'll have to work by his side to help solve a top secret case. Everyone knows not to trust vampires. Especially a hot elder vampire.

I absolutely love the spook detective. I love getting all 3 books for one credit. Urban fantasy is one of my favorite genres. Uncanny Kingdom is amazingly talented at putting out excellent entertainment

big thumbs up for this noir mystery
good fun as sardonic private dick ( as in detective) does his British Philip Marlowe still through three mysteries. literal underworld with first unsolved supermodel murder, two the dead arising to kill the scum of the earth and finally a journey to the bad place to recover jazz hands inventory. the narrator was excellent with right British accent to carry off the part with panache and right amount of sardonic humor. well worth the listen. look forward to more if Jake Fletcher , Spectral Detective

So that's how a Spectral Detective operates
Jake, the spectral detective is the luckiest stupid detective I've read/listened to since detective Dev Haskel. Difference being Dev is a living horn dog. I can't say I didn't like the book but I can't admit that I did so I guess I'm caught in the middle, trapped in limbo kinda like Jake. The 3 stories flowed seamlessly from beginning to end I found myself interested in how he was going to get his stupid ass out of the next situation that he seemed to walk into with his corporeal eyes wide open. And don't get me started on his wife, OMG I'm pretty sure I know that woman. However, since he (Jake) used the......oops I almost gave it away, oh well I guess you'll have to get the book and then we'll talk. In short BUY THE BOOK!!!! P.S. Mark Restuccia was the perfect narrator.

Unusual and intriguing!
Spectral Detective: A Three-Book Collection: An Uncanny Kingdom Urban Fantasy
Spectral Detective Collection 1
By: David Bussell
Narrated by: Mark Restuccia
This was quite the series! Unusual and intriguing! It covers the first three books and the prequel called "Death Day". This poor guy goes through so much but keeps going! He's got spunk! He runs away from the office where the dead go to be sorted. That takes spunk!😁 First he is a guy that does exorcisms for a living then he gets murdered. Then he takes up being a ghost detective. He deals with not only other ghosts but demons, vampires, and more. Never a dull moment! Clever, great characters, and terrific fantasy!

#teamjake
I almost gave up hope, but got salvation and redemption at the 11th hour and end of the book. I was teamjake from the start. He had a good heart and got takem in by evil doers time and again. I found this entertaining and interesting and enjoyed it. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.
