Derek Landy

Derek Landy lives near Dublin. Before writing his children's story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, he wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous horror film. "I think my career-guidance teacher is spinning in her grave," he says, "or she would be if she were dead."

[krystal tiger · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was funny and dark and exciting. The world that Derek Landy has built in this story is one of epic proportions! There is magic and evil and a walking, talking skeleton detective.. what more could you possibly want?! Very excited to continue this series.
