I've been a fan of this series since Every Dead Thing was first published, and have read every single one more than once. A River Red With Blood has the honour of being the first in the series that I have listened to rather than read, and what an experience it has been. Jeff Harding has done a sterling job of narrating what is, in my opinion, the best Parker book post pandemic. 🩸
The usual cast of characters are here; Parker, Angel, Louis, and the Fulci brothers, Paulie and Tony. We also meet some characters we haven't met for some time, the rabbi Epstein, and medium Sabine Drew. 🩸
A River Red With Blood is a dark, disturbing story of kidnapping, rape and murder. During the course of his investigation into the death of a boy who had run away from his school, Parker encounters many creepy, decidedly evil individuals. And then he learns of the return of one of his nemeses. 🩸
The overall darkness of the book is balanced out by the humourous banter between Parker, Angel and Louis, and by the very presence of the Fulci brothers. 🩸
While the supernatural elements are kept to a minimum, there are some revelations, and it will be interesting to see where they take us. 🩸
I love this series, and I plan to circle back to the beginning and listen to every single book. 🩸🎧
