Darkly brilliant and intuitive private detective Charlie Parker returns in the next thrilling installment of the New York Times bestselling series by John Connolly about an elite group of killers.

The Reapers are the elite of killers, the best at their trade, and Louis, confidante of troubled private detective Charlie Parker, is one of their number. Now the sins of his past are about to be visited upon him, for someone is hunting Louis, targeting his home, his businesses, and his partner, Angel. The instrument of his revenge is Bliss, the killer of killers, the most feared of assasins, and a man with a personal vendetta against Louis.

But when Louis and Angel decide to strike back, they disappear, and their friends are forced to band together to find them. They are led by Parker, a killer himself, a reaper in waiting...

The harvest is about to begin.

Poor Willy

Better than dying of old decrepit age in a nursing home. My 4rth time listening.

One of my favorites…

The Reapers is one of my favorite in the Charlie Parker series. Bravo Mr. Connolly! And I much prefer listening to George Guidall than the others that narrate the other Charlie Parker books.

5 stars

One of the best since the first in the collection of Charlie Parker books. Hope they continue on this path

Don’t miss this one!

One of the best entries in the great Charlie Parker series. Terrific book for a summer’s reading list.

Hard to get into

This story has been very difficult to get into and keep the timeline straight as it is constantly going to flashbacks requiring the listener to back up and try to reorient. I do find my mind drifting more than usual requiring me, again, to back up and refocus. It is very slow and very difficult to make one even care much about the characters. I have liked other John Connolly stories but this one isn't his best.

So so story hard to follow

Would you try another book from John Connolly and/or George Guidall?

Would try another to see if easier to follow

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Ending left a lot of loose ends

Would you listen to another book narrated by George Guidall?

The narrator did an okay job

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

As a movie it would be hard to follow what was going on

Great!

Enjoyed the story, narration and the inside look into Louis and Angel's relationship. Good character development is really where the author shines.

I love John Connolly

I love John Connolly's books---and I am especially fond of Louis and Angel. That's why this audio book was a disappointment. The story is great but the narration falls flat. In several places(especially in the second half) it sounds like it was dubbed over by someone trying to sound like Mr. Guidall. The reader has a fine voice but had some trouble staying in voice for Louis (mostly ok though) but never really got a handle on Angel's voice. At times he sounded like Detective Colombo trying to do a Cheech Marin imitation. I liked how he voiced Parker and his Willie Brew and Varno were great.

Good read but difficult to follow at times

This was a good read but there was so much going on that it was difficult to follow at times. From the beginning to the end, I was a little bit lost on the characters and what they were doing and how they fit into the story.

Great story, AWFUL NARRATION

Charlie Parker has a small role in this book. It is a great story about Louis and Angel. The Narration however is horrible.
