Did Grace Peltier commit suicide? When a mass grave in northern Maine reveals the final resting place of a religious community that disappeared almost forty 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.

I was lucky to be turned onto John Connolly's work after hearing Bad Men recommended by Stephen King. the main character Charlie Parker is someone you empathise with, the guy you want to see come out on top and with the killing kind The Charlie Parker series just keeps getting better with every book. Dark, haunting, with Mr. Pudd born to make your skin crawl.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Fantasitic story a real page turner!!!

This book boasts a absolutely fantastic story, each character has such a deep background it's impossible not to enjoy the book! Some of the villians like Mr Pudd are incredible and really steal the show.

Truth be told it is a little long winded at times and there are certain pages that you just want to skip so that you can get back into the main mystery of the book.

Overall I would recommend this book to anyone that likes a thriller. A fantastic novel and i cant wait to read some more of John Connolly's work.

A really good read, specially if you are into crime books with a slight dark horror angle. I like the style in which the book is written and the content is really interesting, not just a standard crime novel! BUY IT!
