Summary

 Private Investigator Charlie Parker returns in this heart-pounding thriller, with Angel and Louis taking centre stage, following from events in A BOOK OF BONES, from the internationally bestselling author of the acclaimed Charlie Parker novels.

In Amsterdam, three people are butchered in a canal house, their remains arranged around the crucified form of their patriarch, De Jaager: fixer, go-between, and confidante of the assassin named Louis. The men responsible for the murders are Serbian war criminals. They believe they can escape retribution by retreating to their homeland.
They are wrong.

For Louis has come to Europe to hunt them down: five killers to be found and punished before they can vanish into the east.
There is only one problem.
The sixth.

Whilst this is part of the series I did not enjoy this as much as the earlier books. This is about Angel and Louie and their revenge . I re listened to this as the latest in the series is due out in days and I wanted to remind myself where the story is up to. If you are following this series you might feel you should listen to this as I did however as I said not the one I enjoyed it like the other earlier ones. Jeff Harding reads it perfectly so a 5 star for him.

I'd like more Charlie Parker

Too graphically violent. Not the characters and storyline I have previously enjoyed in this series. Although I have bought it on Audible, I will be deleting it and will not listen to it again.

Not as good as previous storylines

This is significantly more enjoyable than the last two books, but suffers because it's far too long. None of the characters other than Charlie, (who makes a fleeting appearance) and Louis and Angel, are just not interesting even as supposed super baddies. The series does not appear to be going anywhere, It's tired, formulaic, repetitious and not within shouting distance of the earlier Charlie Parker books which were magnificent. Jeff Harding is again up to his spectacular best form.




Purchased despite dismal last two books
