About this listen
A thrilling instalment of John Connolly's popular Charlie Parker series.
He is our best hope.
He is our last hope.
On a 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....

UK accents
Everything about this story and narration is excellent... except for the UK accents. Every other accent is on a scale of decent to good. The UK accents are mostly rubbish.

Enjoyable but…
Jeff Harding does an incredible job with the narration and the story is interesting with intertwining characters and direction. But the writer’s obvious left learning beliefs are getting annoying as he infers anyone who isn’t a left leaning activist must be a nazi.

Confession - I'm a massive Charlie Parker fan
Another solid entry into the Parker mythos. What I like the most about this entry is how Parker, Angel, Louis leave the well-worn shores of the Pacific Northwest and travel abroad, all the while hunting an old enemy. Book Of Bones ties up a lot of loose ends from previous novels, as well as incorporating Connelly's world building from Night Gallery: Noctures 2 (which I'd suggest reading first). The only major issue I have - and have had - is the narrator's voice. I'm not sure what it is; perhaps too nasal? I personally find it jarring and would like someone else to have a crack.

Another awesome follow on
As a person from Northern UK, the attempt at northern English accents were terrible but made me giggle.
Story was clear and was a good follow 9n from previous book.

Not up to earlier Charlie Parker books by a mile
22 1/2 hours? This book lost its way, needs much more Angel and Louis, and the humour that comes with them, and although this is part of a series, having this book carry over the same set of baddies from the previous book does not work for me. I prefer each book to stand alone sort of, with the same heroes and different baddies. The book was padded out to almost twice as long as previous Charlie Parker books and became tedious and repetitive to listen to. So sick of the two children, I would like to see Charlie become what he is meant to be (Angel, Alien or whatever) and move the series along or go back to stories like one of his best in the series "The Lovers" as well as many of the early books. Not impressed at all despite waiting with anticipation for this book.

Awesome story but awful British accent
I love this series and usually really enjoy the American narrator. I am an Aussie, not British, but even for me listening to about half of the story in a really poor British accent was just painful. The story is fantastic but so let down by the narrator - possibly wouldn't be as painful to ask American audience, not sure.
