About this listen
Get ready for the biggest NEW publishing phenomena of 2007!
“So you won't keep anything from me again?"
He put his hand to his chest. "Cross my heart and hope to die."
"Okay then. Though you don't actually have a heart," she said.
"I know."
"And technically, you've already died."
"I know that too."
"Just so we're clear."
Stephanie's uncle Gordon is a writer of horror fiction. But when he dies and leaves her his estate, Stephanie learns that while he may have written horror, it certainly wasn't fiction.
Pursued by evil forces intent on recovering a mysterious key, Stephanie finds help from an unusual source – the wisecracking skeleton of a dead wizard.
When all hell breaks loose, it's lucky for Skulduggery that he's already dead. Though he's about to discover that being a skeleton doesn't stop you from being tortured, if the torturer is determined enough. And if there's anything Skulduggery hates, it's torture… Will evil win the day? Will Stephanie and Skulduggery stop bickering long enough to stop it? One thing's for sure: evil won't know what's hit it.

Great book, somewhat lacking in terms of narration
Love the humour of the Skulduggery series, and the story is compelling. Not so sure about the narration though. Don't appreciate that all the female characters all sound weepy when stressed throughout. The crying voices do not match the impressions we got from the books and it just seems like the narrator does not have the ability to portray a non-weepy stressed woman.

Pleasantly surprised!
Ok so i’ve been reading books that i’ve read in the past for nostalgia’s sake and i’m really surprised to see how good this book still is! First of all i don’t hate the protagonists!! They don’t make stupid mistakes purely as a plot device ( although the other supporting characters actions can be called into question ). I liked the dynamic between the two protagonists and it was actually had some funny and smart dialogue, if it was being cringy it was deliberate and the characters would acknowledge it. Looking forward to devouring another series! And can we talk about the narrator! he’s amazing but i saw that he gets replaced in some of the books ahead so i’m not looking forward to that, hopefully the others will be as good as him.

Fabulous
Rupert Degas is a genius! Only listened to this one because of him. I’ve come to realise that his name is enough to tempt me to buy a book because if he’s narrating it then the story must / will be good. Great airport nonetheless. Thank you Mr Degas!

Amazing story teller
I’d listen to more audio books if this guy narrated more of them. Great story, great narration, perfect and worth the money.

Incredible
I have loved this series ever since I discovered it when I was around 13. Five years later I have rediscovered my love for it and it is just as amazing as I remember. Can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series and catch up on what I have missed! Incredible story, loveable characters and amazing writing!

An absolutely vivid world building
Landy's excellent world building lends itself very well to the medium of audio, and Degas' narration is supurb
Very easy to get into and the world is so easy to slip into, it's very well written and the fights are incredibly disciptive and easy to follow
even though this is a young adult novel I would recommend it to anyone just because of the world building.

I loved it
I love having books on audible. I can listen to them in the car. I find I don't want to get out of the car and can't wait to drive again Hahaha
