I received this ARC from NetGalley and Atria/Emily Bestler Books in exchange for a fair and honest review.
This is the 22nd title in the Charlie Parker series of books and I enjoyed it, I think it’s an interesting addition to the series. It has a great blend of first person and third person perspectives which for me wasn’t distracting or annoying. The back and forth between the two is smooth. The main characters are present even if it’s not as much as I would have liked. Even Parker himself was not engaged as much as he usually is with the malefactors of the plot. Maybe I’m wrong about this, but it felt more of a Jennifer (Parker’s deceased daughter) story to me. I feel it’s perhaps an ending of one chapter of Parker’s existence and the start of something new, something a bit darker. I’m not saying that past adversaries couldn’t show up in later titles but new “entities” have been introduced which may pose more of a problem to Parker’s than he’s used to. All in all it’s an entertaining read and a great page turner. Highly recommended.
