The Reapers

A Charlie Parker novel with hardly any Charlie Parker in it.!!

This was the perfect antidote to the previous book which was so dark, and so grim and there were no winners and everyone was unhappy at the end. Don't get me wrong, this book has it's dark and violent moments but it also has a good heart some humour mostly provided by new characters Willie (sad face) & Arno. This story is all about Louis. We get to find out his past and how he became the cool killer he is today. Pretty damn perfect and I repeat, hardly any Charlie Parker at all.

Pretty rare that you see an author take supporting characters and dedicate an entire book to them. John Connolly did it just that. Taking Louis and Angel and do a story about them especially about Louis's past before ever meeting Angel and Charlie Parker. Great storyline and so full of action and a side of humour.
