Summary

Did Grace Peltier commit suicide?

When a mass grave in northern Maine reveals the final resting place of a religious community that disappeared almost 40 years earlier, private detective Charlie Parker, hired to investigate the circumstances of her death, realises that their deaths and the violent passing of Grace Peltier are part of the same mystery, one that has its roots in her family history and in the origins of the shadowy organisation known as the Fellowship.

Aided by the genial killers Angel and Louis, Parker must descend into the depths of a honeycomb world populated by dark angels and lost souls, a world where the ghosts of the dead wait for justice and the unwary are prey for the worst kind of creatures: the killing kind.

I just love these books!

I'm going through all 12 (now 13) sequentially with no break! I have read about half but they are superb in as audible.

The Best Novel So Far in The Series.

Bird, Louis and Angel take on their worst adversary yet - a real spider man in the hunt for the killers of a commune whose bones turn up. More murder, mayhem and ghostly going ons ensue.
Rachael also appears.

I really enjoyed this book and it kept me wakened into the small wee hours. It’s not a tale for the squeamish as the bodies pile up quite quickly and the deaths are descriptive and gory. Spiders play a prominent part in this novel!

The narration was excellent but I note there is a change of narrator for the next book I can only hope he is as good :)

Gripping read and the story comes alive by the excellent delivery by Jeff Harding!

I love Charlie Parker and his friends. The description of the spider attack’s were so detailed that I couldn’t listen and forwarded until it was safe to listen again.
I hate spiders so at times my flesh was actually crawling and made me shiver in fear. Bloody excellent story made real by the way it was read.
Highly recommend!

Excellent

The writing is as good as it gets, as is the narration. Best to start at the first book for the background of this series

incredible!!

I read this several years ago and got hooked on John Connelly and the Charlie Parker series. this stands up there as one of the best crime, action, thrillers out there!

the narrator however turns this from an excellent book into an incredible experience. his portrayal of Charlie Parker is exactly how I pictured it and his characters and inflection bring life to the bit parts, the side kicks and the sinister evil villains

If you come across this book and your tempted to try something new you cannot go wrong!!

unless your afraid of spiders that is!

Arachnophobs Beware!

Should have a warning on this book. Had I not have Arachnophobia, I would have enjoyed this story much more. If you are not bothered about spiders, then you will love it!
