SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT by Darek Landy, read by Rupert Degas
Skulduggery is the ultimate undead; in fact, he’s just a skeleton. Rupert Degas's deadpan delivery of this snappy and dark comedy (with an appropriate hint of laughter) proves how well young adult fantasy can work as audio entertainment. Reviewed by Liz Hannegan. This audio is good for young Adults and is 7.5 hours long.
