Well written and great fun. A hard boiled detective investigates murderous goings on in a quaint little town in Maine against a backdrop of ghosts, ancient gods, secret societies, cults and feuding psychopaths. The pacing, characters and dialogue (especially between Louis and Angel) are all great. I particularly loved the parts where Parker is goading the locals.

I found this one in a charity shop which means I’ve started with number twelve. It worked on its own but there’s a bigger story running through the series so I may have to try and source the others in order
