5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent unreveled Urban Fantasy Vampire story
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2022

Jack Fleming is a vampire very much like the 1960's Barnabus Collins but with a few differences. Jack was given some knowledge of being a vampire by the woman who gave him the chance to turn and when he was killed and did turn, he knew a little of how to manage himself. He gets himself together, soon finds a friend and pardner who knows what he is and is fascinated by it, and they go after the people who killed him. The book is well written in an almost gothic style rather like a Batman story. Set in 1930's Chicago with gangs everywhere operating and with prohibition in force, bootlegging is everywhere. Yes, Jack is a vampire, and he is a ladies' man. Sex is mentioned and some writing about but no graphic descriptive imaging of it. A small sized book, but an excellent and enjoyable read. read

It is a shame that P.N. Elrod has fallen by the wayside amongst the "new" vampire book craze. Especially those that center on YA. Reporter Jack Fleming is an incredibly human vampire. He died for love but she is gone and he is left to figure out his new "life." He is in trouble right from the start when he decides to find out who his murderer is. Because they keep trying to kill him. Fortunately for Jack, he is actually discovered for what he is by another investigator. He decides to take Jack's "case." Mainly because he interested in Jack's condition. Although the theme of the book is deeply involved in gangsters so it is a bit dated, I was so delighted with the characters I read with joy some of the situations the guys got themselves into. Well written and never outdated. Read it and you won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sherlockians will enjoy this.

Despite the vampires, this is not a horror novel; it's a detective novel based on the premise that vampires really exist. The vampire Fleming is a nice guy, a neophyte vampire who is just learning to use the advantages and cope with the disadvantages of his condition. My favorite character is Fleming's friend and partner in detection, Holmes, oops, I mean Escott. As all Sherlockians know, Escott is the alias Holmes used in the Charles Augustus Milverton blackmail case. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars This a noir mystery with a vampire hero, Sam Spade with fangs
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2020
This is an interesting take on vampire novels with the main protagonist, a newly made vampire, trying to solve his murder with the setting being in the 1930's . This is a "pulp novel" with an undead investigator. It was entertaining to read but the writing could have been a little tighter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful stroll with Chicago's noir vampire.
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2021
I read P.N. Elrod's series years ago and was delighted to rediscover it in audio format. I enjoyed exploring this "noir" vampire set in the bad old days of Chicago gangsters. Jack Fleming is a small-time reporter that gets on the wrong side of the mob while dealing with his change of life issues.

Meanwhile, he makes friends with Charles Escott, a sorta Sherlock Holmes detective, Bobbi Smythe, a nightclub singer and mobster "frail", Shoe Coldfield, a leader in the Bronze Belt, and Gordy, mobster muscle with a mind. These characters are developed and become key in future books.

The audio acting is superb. There were two-three minor hiccups where part of a sentence was repeated, but they are hardly noticeable. I love this series and bought the entire audio version.

I've read all of P.N. Elrod's vampire files and do enjoy them. They are more of the lighthearted side of vampire mystery books in my opinion. They are very enjoyable. What can I say I like the vampire reporter/detective, Jack Fleming. It is different then most and worth the read.
