Jack Nightingale series: Audiobooks in Order

by Stephen Leather

Thirteen books into a series, an author is either exhausted or utterly at home, and Stephen Leather’s Jack Nightingale series has clearly reached the latter. Our catalogue features Chicago Night, the thirteenth instalment, an eight and a half hour thriller that drops listeners into a long-established world with a protagonist who has already survived a dozen adventures.

Why listen to Jack Nightingale series?

Paul Thornley takes the microphone for Chicago Night, and thrillers of this length sit in a sweet spot for audio: eight hours and thirty-two minutes is long enough for real plotting yet short enough to race through in a few sessions. A confident narrator keeps the momentum taut, which is exactly what the genre demands.Newcomers should know this is book thirteen, so those who insist on chronology may wish to seek out the earlier instalments first, though series thrillers are often forgiving of late arrivals. It suits crime and thriller regulars looking for a long-running hero to adopt, and listeners who value an author with proven staying power.

Clara’s verdict

Clara Whitmore

3.0/5

I shall be candid: Chicago Night arrived in our catalogue without a single listener rating, which leaves me nothing to measure it against. Stephen Leather sustaining a series to a thirteenth volume speaks to a loyal readership, and Paul Thornley’s narration gives the audio edition a professional footing, but faith is not evidence. Until real listener verdicts appear, I am settling on a deliberately conservative 3.0, offered without prejudice to what the book may prove to be.
