Jane Hawk knows she may be living on borrowed time. But as long as she’s breathing, she’ll never cease her one-woman war against the terrifying conspiracy that threatens the freedom - and free will - of millions. Battling the strange epidemic of murder-suicides that claimed Jane’s husband, and is escalating across the country, has made the rogue FBI agent a wanted fugitive, relentlessly hunted not only by the government but by the secret cabal behind the plot.

Heartbreaking
Reviewed: 05-24-18
I’ve read the first two books, and enjoyed them immensely, but this one left me broken-hearted I’m the kind of person who finds myself becoming attached to characters in each story I read, but this last book had my crying by the end of it all, and asking why?
That comes on the heels of seeing too shows where it seems like the bad guys are always winning, no matter what the odds are.

Story
Repairman Jack has been tearing up the urban adventure scene ever since he was introduced in the New York Times best seller, The Tomb. Jack has no last name, no social security number, and no qualms when it comes to getting the job done - even if it means putting himself in serious danger. Hosts starts with a bang when Jack has to stop a psychotic's shooting rampage on a subway car - but there are witnesses, and Jack’s essential anonymity is threatened.

If I have to listen to him say Oolio one more time I’ll SCREAM! It’s JULIO you idiot! I love the Repairman Jack series, and have read the books, but decided to give the audiobooks a try. Jack:The Early Year - Cold City, Fear City etc. That guy could narrate a book, and I’d hope to hear him read the rest of the series, but nope, you had to go with this looser! I’m hoping they will decide to hire a new, and more experienced narrator to reread this series so I can truly enjoy it!

Disappointing read.

Having seen that a movie was being made of the first book in the series, I dove in and bought the trilogy. Great beginning, but then the story became lost, and convoluted, and I kept going on hoping for answers to the multitudes of questions posed, only to have a single question answered in the last moments of book three.

I'm a long time fan of both the author as well as the narrator James Marsters. This is my third time though the Dresden Files and anticipate another turn when the time is right, until then

Story
The Scarlet Gospels takes listeners back many years to the early days of two of Barker's most iconic characters in a battle of good and evil as old as time: The long-beleaguered detective Harry D'Amour, investigator of all supernatural, magical, and malevolent crimes, faces off against his formidable and intensely evil rival, Pinhead, the priest of hell. Barker devotees have been waiting for The Scarlet Gospels with baited breath for years, and it's everything they've begged for and more.

Love the story, dislike the narrator

I looked forward to both hearing and reading this book since last year. Sadly the narrator ruined it for me. A flamboyant coenobite? Lana as an 80 year old Jewish man? Harry as a cartoon character of himself? Please tell me it's over now!

Glad I stumbled upon this series! Hated the way the review insists upon so many words. Errrrrrrrr, last time I'll ever write one too.
