About this listen
It is 1999, and someone is slaughtering young black women in Burdon County, Arkansas.
But no one wants to admit it, not in the Dirty South.
In an Arkansas jail cell sits a former NYPD detective, stricken by grief. He is mourning the death of his wife and child and searching in vain for their killer. He cares only for his own lost family.
But that is about to change....
Witness the becoming of Charlie Parker.

Return to the original Charlie Parker
Once the outstanding narration seals the story. What can I say other than I have become a devout Jeff Harding follower.
The story relates back to earlier times for Charlie Parker and helps build the atmosphere surrounding the character. I found this book interesting and while not quite achieving the pinnacle of the series. It was pleasing that the author did not push his political views (mostly). Leaving the audience to enjoy the story for what it is.

Brilliant in Scope and Execution
Enjoyed this, my first book of John Connolly, hugely. It is Dickensian in ambition, presenting what appears to be an accurate depiction of a poor county in Arkansas in America's South with the interplay of power, poverty, race amid day-to-day living.
John Connolly, a Dubliner, lived in Arkansas for a while to do the background research and it shows in the many authentic details inserted.
He writes well-crafted English, and does dialogue smoothly with a lovely sarcastic touch. The story is constructed tightly and moves along at a rapid pace. The whole book is a page-turner but I found the large crowd of characters hard to commit to memory. Listened more than once - fortunately the enjoyment was just as great the second time around. This is a top-class work in its genre.
Outstanding narration by Jeff Harding. Overall, a great listening experience and introduction to John Connolly. I want more.

Another good book in the series
I enjoyed this addition to the series but not as much as the most of the others in it.
Im still happy with my purchase though and not every book by Connolly can be a five star but its still a solid 4

Absolutely terrible
Even Jeff Harding does a terrible job on this load of drivel, he sounds sarcastic throughout the entire book, cant say I blame him, it goes back and forth between uninteresting characters, I wrote a scathing review about the previous book and this one is even worse. Appalling book, dont waste your credit. Too disappointing to even bother going further indepth with this review.
