About this listen

Books 1, 2 and 3 in the SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT series – known collectively as THE FACELESS ONES TRILOGY, Derek Landy's fantastically imaginative series about our favourite dead detective.

SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT
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.

PLAYING WITH FIRE
With Serpine dead, the world is safe once more. At least, that’s what Valkyrie and Skulduggery think, until the notorious Baron Vengeous makes a bloody escape from prison, and dead bodies and vampires start showing up all over Ireland.

THE FACELESS ONES
Skulduggery Pleasant and his wonderfully cheeky and inquisitive side kick, Valkyrie, take us through another journey, which promises to be filled with adventure, dark, mysterious meetings, and classically funny moments.

A lot of humour and some of the best narration I've heard on Audible.

As a 44 year old man I may not be the target audience for Skulduggery but I really enjoyed these first three books! First one starts borrowing heavily from Harry Dresden (with a smidgen of Artemis Fowl) but very quickly becomes it's own thing.
The humour - mainly in the banter between characters - genuinely had me laughing out loud, and the fantasy/horror elements are pretty graphic for a YA audience.
And the narration: honestly made the whole thing work. Brilliantly characterised and the switch between accents was so smooth I couldn't tell you what the narrators real accent is!
Got this on a whim (3 books for one credit) and have been obsessively recommending to friends ever since. Looking forward to the rest of the lengthy series.

like Lovecraft with comedy and for teens

I always saw these books in shops when I was a kid and never read them. Thought I'd give it a try and was very surprised and glad. Definitely worth a read even as a not-young adult.

Skulduggery Pleasant

Honestly, I loved the books as a kid and will still re-read them all the time, but i find it hard to get the full image of whats going on when i'm listening, but the narrator is really creative when switching characters. Great for going to sleep to.

loooooove it !

Robert Degas does an amazing performance reading these books ! every character with a charming voice, only issue is tannith now fair enough you're a bloke you'll never be able to get a womans voice spot on ! but id lean more towards a tomb raider British accent 👊👊🙌

Fantasy at its best

A brilliantly written and brilliantly read fantasy book with loads of gripping action and nice amount of humour and a fantastic read I’m a 58-year-old man and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it
