Skulduggery Pleasant #5: Mortal Coil Award-winning by Derek Landy (author)

Author/Illustrator

Derek Landy

Derek Landy is the author of the bestselling, awardwinning Skulduggery books – the funniest dead detective ever!

Before writing his children’s story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, Derek wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous thriller in which everybody dies.

As a black belt in Kenpo Karate he has taught countless children how to defend themselves, in the hopes of building his own private munchkin army. He firmly believes that they await his call to strike against his enemies (he doesn’t actually have any enemies, but he’s assuming they’ll show up, sooner or later).

Derek lives on the outskirts of Dublin, and the reason he writes his own biography blurb is so that he can finally refer to himself in the third person without looking pompous or insane.

   This Book is excellent! It is funny, sad, has loads of fighting scenes and makes you want to Torture Derek Landy – then again every book makes you want to kill him but this one especially, until you think about Death Bringer, but Death Bringer comes after it, so it doesn’t count!:) Anyway I have been Rambling an awful lot so back with the review -Clears Throat_ I recommend this book for any age.
