Publisher's Summary

Private Investigator Charlie Parker returns in this heart-pounding thriller as he seeks revenge against the darkest forces in the world, from “one of the best thriller writers we have” (Harlan Coben, number one New York Times best-selling author) and the internationally best-selling author of the acclaimed The Woman in the Woods.

He is our best hope. He is our last hope. He is our only hope.

On a lonely moor in northern England, the body of a young woman is discovered. 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.

Charlie Parker has also heard it, and 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 the world into darkness. Parker fears no evil - but evil fears him.

“A seamless, expansive, and chilling blend of police procedural and gothic horror tale” (Kirkus Reviews), A Book of Bones will keep you guessing until the very last chapter.

a bit tough

I struggled with this to be honest. I think reading it would have been better, keeping all the characters straight was difficult.

Side characters and story lines

First and foremost, I really enjoy this series, and the story at the heart of this book is good.

But...

The author obviously went to the UK to research this book and to justify the trip included every detail and historical story he heard whilst there. So many meandering descriptions of peoples and places that were not needed.

I enjoy the narrator but please don't do English accents again, especially regional ones.

Edit this down to 13 hours and you probably have a very solid book.
