Skulduggery Pleasant: Audiobooks in Order
Eighteen volumes in and still going: that fact alone tells you something about Skulduggery Pleasant. Derek Landy’s long-running series has been a fixture of children’s and family fiction for years, and the book in our catalogue, A Soul Full of Shadows, is instalment eighteen, a 13 hour and 18 minute listen. Series simply do not reach book eighteen without an audience that refuses to let go.

Why listen to Skulduggery Pleasant?
In audio, this volume is in the hands of Kevin Hely, and thirteen hours gives a narrator plenty of canvas. Landy’s brand of storytelling, wit layered over adventure, is exactly the register that benefits from performance; a dry line delivered aloud lands twice as hard as it does on the page.Where to start is the easy question with a long series: at book one, not here. A Soul Full of Shadows sits deep into the saga, with eighteen books of history standing behind it. For families already travelling with the series, this is simply the next stop. For newcomers, treat our entry as a signpost to a much longer road, one that older children, teenagers and frankly plenty of adults have walked very happily.
Clara’s verdict
★★★★☆ 3.5/5
Full disclosure: the perfect 5.0 score attached to this volume comes from a single rating, and one vote is a whisper, not a verdict. What I can say with confidence is structural rather than statistical. A series does not sustain eighteen instalments without doing a great many things right, and the sheer longevity of Skulduggery Pleasant is its own evidence. My mark is cautious for this specific recording, but my expectations for the series are anything but.
