A review by gabmc
The Reapers by John Connolly

3.0

Although this is book 7 of the Charlie Parker series, we only see him intermittently. This book tells a bit more of the back story on Louis, one of Gabriel's 'Reapers' - highly trained and specialised killers for hire. Louis and his partner, Angel, are long-time friends of Charlie Parker and always there for him when he needs them. This time, the tables are a bit turned as Louis and Angel are called in to eliminate a man who is the long time enemy of a new client. One thing I really found interesting about this book was learning more of the history of black Americans in the Deep South - a horrible history but one we should not forget.
