\"\"<\/a>We return once again to Nightside, where John Taylor is once again on the case. On several cases actually.<\/p>\n

As he finishes a case at the HP Lovecraft Memorial Library, he’s asked by Walker, who has the Voice of Authority in Nightside, to retrieve the Aquarius key before Max Maxwell gains more complete control over the Loa.<\/p>\n

From there, he’s asked to find Pen Donovan, and a DVD he claims shows a broadcast from the afterlife. Only things get far more complicated than expected, as a half demon succubus joins him in his search for Pen Donovan, and keeps asking him what he sees in Suzie Shotgun.<\/p>\n

First, like most other Nightside books, we get to see Taylor work more than one case. I like that we see how some things are easy for him, while others… less so. Second, we get to revisit some of the denizens of Nightside, although others remain absent. After all, what would be a Nightside book without a visit to Strangefellows and Alex Morrisey?<\/p>\n

Although this is by no means my favorite book in the series, The Unnatural Inquirer is a solid addition. I still like spending time in the Nightside, and eagerly await then next book in paperback.
