    5.0 out of 5 stars A great Jack Nightingale bedtime story
    Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2014

    I was surprised to find STILL BLEEDING when I was looking around to see if the next Jack Nightingale novel had been published yet (it has). As far as I know, this is the first JN short story, and author Stephen Leather had said he was done with Nightingale after the trilogy, but then was persuaded by his publisher to agree to write two more. All of them are very, very good.

    In STILL BLEEDING Jack is hired by a Vatican priest dispatched to England to investigate a possible miracle in the form of in a little girl who exhibits the stigmata and claims to be able to see and talk to the Virgin Mary. Ssaid little girl also apparently cured her neighbor of leukemia. The family refuses to talk to the priest who is convinced that there are no such things as miracles, and so he hires Jack to find out what is going on.

    Not your usual Jack case, but what Jack discovers and how he handles it is certainly in keeping with the guy who figured out how to outwit demons in earlier novels. A quick and enjoyable read, and all the usual suspects are present, even if only in cameo bits. A fine way to spend an hour or so.

    Highly Recommended.

    Not one of my top Nightingale stories, but still a fun read nonetheless. Jack's personality always comes to life with Stephen's way with words, it's always a pleasure to read his work.

    I'm in love with the Jack Nightingale series. I have read the series twice and Jack never bores me. Even though it appears that our Knight may be missing in action after reading this one, I am in hopes that Stephen Leather is not done with Jack yet. I give the entire series 5 stars. Take a ride with Jack in his "vintage" MGB, if it's not in the shop. lol. Really a fun read, but start with book one to really appreciate this latest book.. It's worth the money to start this journey at the beginning otherwise you may not understand Jack and his ever faithful secretary, Jenny. Enjoy!

    I love this Jack Nightingale character. There aren't many of them, and I hope Mr. Leather writes some more stories around this character. Any fan of Stephan Leather will discover a very different but very interesting departure from his normal writing around the Spider Shepherd adventure novels.

    A great read!

    Can't wait for the full length new Jack Nightingale to hit Kindle. This is a great short story and if you're not a Jack Nightingale follower, it's a highly recommended starting point. Keep up the good work . P.s. Stephen if you read this, does the offer still stand from last year?????

    It was short. I bought the whole series of Jack Nightingale books and am finding them quite hard going to read. Definitely not a book/s that you just can't put down which is a shame as I was really looking forward to reading them.
