A review by fonril
A Book of Bones by John Connolly
4.0
Another page turner from John Connolly. I think it may be the first time ever I've read all of the previous books before the new one comes out. The 17th book in a series means that each time picking one up is like reuniting with old friends, albeit ones who live in a darker and more disturbing world than we even do now in the age of Covid19.
"He is our best hope.
He is our last hope.
On lonely moor in the northeast of England, the body of a young woman is discovered near the site of a vanished church. In the south, a girl lies buried beneath a Saxon mound. To the southeast, the ruins of a priory hide a human skull.
Each is a sacrifice, a summons.
And something in the darkness has heard the call.
But another is coming: Parker the hunter, the avenger. From the forests of Maine to the deserts of the Mexican border, from the canals of Amsterdam to the streets of London, he will track those who would cast this world into darkness.
Parker fears no evil.
But evil fears him . .
