About this listen

Charlie Parker’s investigations draw him into a world of modern furies; goddesses of vengeance.

The Furies: mythological snake-haired goddesses of vengeance, pursuers of those who have committed unavenged crimes. Now, private investigator Charlie Parker is drawn into a world of modern furies. In The Sisters Strange, the return of the criminal Raum Buker to Portland, Maine brings with it chaos and murder, as an act of theft threatens not only to tear apart his own existence but also that of Raum’s former lovers, the enigmatic sisters Dolors and Ambar Strange. And in The Furies, Parker finds himself fighting to protect two more women as the city of Portland shuts down in the face of a global pandemic, but it may be that his clients are more capable of taking care of themselves than anyone could have imagined....

Two novels in one from the master of the modern supernatural thriller.

Two short novella style stories make up this volume.

Cannot fault the Charlie Parker Series

Having read the majority of the series and then gone back and listened to all of them via audiobooks I'm a big fan, but the last two were only ok for me. I cant put my finger on it but it just wasn't as enjoyable as previous books in the series that were hard to stop listening to and made for many late nights. Its a pity as I have been looking forward to this for months now but hopefully Connolly will be back on form by his next book.
Jeff Harding did an awesome job reading the book. I had just listened to him read We Are here by Michael Marshall and he's always consistent at doing a great job.

It was an ok addition to the series

Narrators voice made me struggle to listen- first time I've listened to a Parker novel & not in a hurry to do it again sadly. Story was ok but not one of the best in series.

Always well narrated but not usual standard of engagement. Was a great series but losing interest now that Charlie's daughters' storylines arent continuing.

Disappointing
