About this listen

It is deep winter. The darkness is unending. The private detective named Jaycob Eklund has vanished, and Charlie Parker is dispatched to track him down. Parker's employer, Edgar Ross, an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has his own reasons for wanting Eklund found. Eklund is no ordinary investigator. He is obsessively tracking a series of homicides and disappearances, each linked to reports of hauntings. Now Parker will be drawn into Eklund's world, a realm in which the monstrous Mother rules a crumbling criminal empire, in which men strike bargains with angels, and in which the innocent and guilty alike are pawns in a game of ghosts.

What did you like most about A Game of Ghosts?

This certainly did not disappoint, another great chapter in the Charlie Parker story. It builds on threads in earlier books, such as the realisation that his daughter is far from ordinary, she cleary has inherited some higher awareness from her father. Additionally it works as a stand alone book, so could be enjoyed as a first read from the series. It is exceptional writing, Mr Connolly is truly gifted.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Has to be Charlie Parker, as always fighting against evil men and his own ghosts. In the most threatening situations he comes across as strong, with no fear and even some dry witty comebacks.

Have you listened to any of Jeff Harding’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Jeff Harding always manages to bring characters to life he is an excellent narrator.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Compelling tale of war with evil in this world and others

Certainly lived up to expectation
