I absolutely loved this book. could not put it down. John Connelly is by far my favourite author. He takes me places I would never dream to go with the wonderful Charlie Parker.

Another great Charlie Parker mystery. I couldn’t put it down. Charlie is recovering from his injuries in Boreas, Maine, where he is drawn into an old conspiracy to hide Nazi war criminals when a body washes up onto the beach and his neighbor is murdered. Charlie’s daughter, Sam, is very special and appears to be more than touched by the supernatural. Charlie decides to start working on the List and is going to be an FBI consultant for Agent Ross. Ross and Rabbi Epstein were waiting for Charlie to decide to join them in their quest to root out those corrupted by the Fallen and the Backers.

My second read in this series. I enjoy the blend of mystery and supernatural that Connolly uses in this series, and just when you think it is getting too dark the Fulci brothers appear. The hints about his daughter Sam did leave a chill, and I am looking forward to the next installment. Until then I will fill in the back story with the prior books in the series

Epic as always. Charlie Parker is my most favorite fictional character ever. The ending gave me goosebumps.

Absolutely fantastic return to form - some real twists and turns! I'm just glad Waterstones had copies for sale yesterday so now when I get John to sign the book on Friday I can grill him about what's to come.......Fantastic read

I went back and forth between 4 and 5 stars. I really enjoyed this book and loved the revelations and questions it provided. It was slow going in places, but that may be due to my time, rather than the book itself. Two books til I'm caught up. I really love this series.

How is it that after thirteen books in the series it just keeps getting better? Amazing. Parker has finally embraced his destiny. That last two pages, specifically the last three lines are fantastic. I cannot wait for the next installment.
