Whisperers Volume 9

A Charlie Parker Thriller

De: John Connolly

Narrado por: Holter Graham

New York Times bestselling author John Connolly chills with this brutal, spine-tingling Charlie Parker thriller depicting a terrifying consequence of the Iraq War that nobody could have foreseen.

In the dark reaches of Maine’s North Woods, a group of Iraq War veterans are engaged in a ruthless smuggling operation across the Canadian border. But what they have unleashed is far more dangerous than even they realize—an ancient evil locked away in Iraq for centuries.

Evil has dogged Charlie Parker’s steps, costing him his career as a cop and his license as a private investigator. Now, as veterans begin dying mysteriously, he is called in to stop the bloodletting. But the smuggled objects have attracted the attention of the reclusive Herod and his henchman, the shadowy figure he calls the Captain. To defeat them, Parker must form an uneasy alliance with a man he fears more than any other: the killer known as the Collector.

Oh my gosh!

Yuck,eek, wired, and yet I just could not stop listening. It was so intriguing. It shows the nature of people throughout time will always be the same. The temptation of greed for treasure and riches will always tempt us. We never change do we?

Narrator too young

This was not the voice of Charlie Parker. After just finishing The Lovers, this sounded like a cheap knock-off.

Thank you!

First of all, I would like to send a heart felt "Thank you!" to anyone who participated in the decision to produce this in unabridged format. That made me very happy! I also cannot say enough good words about Holter Graham. His capture of the mid Maine accent is very nearly perfect, and the other Maine accents he uses are very good as well. Having myself had family here in Bethel for many generations, and being someone who laments the loss of our cultural heritage in our "lingo", I sincerely appreciate his nuanced performance. I hope to see more of his work! Now to the story - Mr. Connolly has created another book I will read again and again, as I do the others in the Parker series. I was grateful to find some of the action set in Western Maine, and I hope he used the large archives of the Bethel Historical Society for research. Thank you to all for this enjoyable "read"! I am already looking for the next in the series. *nudge, nudge*

awful narrator!

I love john Connolly and the charlie parker novels. However, this one was by far my least favorite. I'm not sure if it was the narrator who ruined the book for me (he certainly didnt make it better!) or if the story line just wasnt as captivating as the previous ones but not my favorite.

okay book

the story jumped around a lot it was difficult to follow struggles a little bit to get it to the end of the book narrations good

content

love holter graham butter not for Charlie Parker. the regular John Connelly narrator is preferred

Listened twice.<br /><br />

Usually I buy both audio and printed versions of books.' The Whispers' is a book to be read and worth listening to at least twice.

need Jeff harding version

Would you try another book from John Connolly and/or Holter Graham?

love john connolly hate holter graham

Who was your favorite character and why?

Charlie always

What didn’t you like about Holter Graham’s performance?

too young Jeff harding is the best for Charlie

Could you see Whisperers being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

yes

Iraqi Artifacts Come to Maine

The father of a veteran wants Charlie to look into the cause of his son's suicide. Trafficking in stone Iraqi artifacts is only a part of the problem for Charlie to handle. As usual, Louis and Angel have his back and evil gets a shellacking. Great audiobook.

A creepy good time

I'm rapidly becoming a fan of John Connolly. This is the second of his novels that I've listened to (The Reapers). Like Charlie Parker and love Louis & Angel. My only (minor) complaint about Whisperers is that Mr. Graham's voice seems about 15-20 years too young for that of Charlie Parker. I felt that Jay O. Saunders (The Reapers) was a better fit.
