About this listen

Prosperous, and the secret that it hides beneath its ruins...

The community of Prosperous, Maine has always thrived when others have suffered. Its inhabitants are wealthy, its children's future secure. It shuns outsiders. It guards its own. And at the heart of Prosperous lie the ruins of an ancient church, transported stone by stone from England centuries earlier by the founders of the town... But the death of a homeless man and the disappearance of his daughter draw the haunted, lethal private investigator Charlie Parker to Prosperous.

Parker is a dangerous man, driven by compassion, by rage, and by the desire for vengeance. In him the town and its protectors sense a threat graver than any they have faced in their long history, and in the comfortable, sheltered inhabitants of a small Maine town, Parker will encounter his most vicious opponents yet. Charlie Parker has been marked to die so that Prosperous may survive.

I like John Connolly's 'Charlie Parker' books. Have read his books over the years and must say this is one of his best. Loved the story line, with a very good narrator to make it enjoyable to listen to.

Absolutely great read/listen. If you have followed Charlie Parker this far you’re will not be disappointed. Some of the overall storyline comes together while following a new adventure. Great story and Jeff Harding does a, as always, great job at narrating the story.

Absolutely fabulously book

Loved it from start to finish, it’s deep and painful and mysterious and Louis and Angel colour it just enough to make it a great fun to read.

Amazing

I love all the Charlie Parker stories, and this one is no exception. John Connolly writes such engaging characters, and the plotlines are so gripping that I'm always reluctant to leave Charlie's world when duty calls. I've read all the novels to date and started on the audiobook versions - from the beginning - last year. The narrator is perfect. His handling of the different voices is impeccable. You're never in any doubt as to which character is speaking.

If you've never read the previous books in the series, it's not a problem. This can easily be listened to as a standalone, but I would recommend checking out the others first as the character development across the novels are beautiful to behold. Highly recommended!

Terrific!
