Summary

They are the Reapers, the elite among killers. Men so terrifying that their names are mentioned only in whispers. The assassin Louis is one of them. But now Louis, and his partner, Angel, are themselves targets. And there is no shortage of suspects. A wealthy recluse sends them north to a town that no longer exists on a map. A town ruled by a man with very personal reasons for wanting Louis's blood spilt. There they find themselves trapped, isolated, and at the mercy of a killer feared above all others: the assassin of assassins, Bliss.

Thanks to former detective Charlie Parker, help is on its way. But can Angel and Louis stay alive long enough for it to reach them?

Another fantastic book.

Another great story in John Connelly's Charlie Parker series. This time the story is based Louis and Angel, focusing on and giving insight into Louis' history, and an interesting tale about how he became a 'Reaper'; it seemed to also subtly show more about the bond & love between Louis and Angel. Again, as expected, another superb Jeff Harding performance. Thoroughly recommend.

gripping storyline.

It was good to get to know more about Louise and Angel. Really enjoyed it and made even better by Jeff Harding.

Good but not perfect.

Overall story and narration are great. My only real problem is with the voice characterisation of Louis. When I read rather than listen to these books Louis is measured and dry not harsh and brash. More of a comment than a criticism as I really do enjoy these audiobooks.

Outstanding!!

What an amazing novel! A fascinating glimpse into the back-story of Louis, Parker's ever-reliable assassin/friend.
Nobody does audibooks like Jeff harding. He really brings these stories alive. Just an outstanding narrator!

Gritty stuff!

Although slow to get going, once the story is established, it gallops on at quite a pace. Good character depiction by the narrator. Very powerful reading. Will read the next instalment!

A singular gem in the series

Oh, it’s a good one - though the detective does make an appearance, The Reapers concerns Louis and his past. It’s a great, tight, gripping story, beautifully told, as usual, by the inimitable Jeff Harding. For fans of this series, this is a must.
