( ) Para Louis, ir al trullo con una condena por maricón era prácticamente una garantía de dolor y sufrimiento. Era mejor entrar con la fama de haberle quitado la vida a otro hombre. Al menos, eso aseguraba cierto respeto. A Wooster ni siquiera le interesaba ver al chico en la silla eléctrica. Para él, bastaba con demostrar a los otros su error: la policía del estado, su propia gente, que se había reído a sus espaldas por creer que un chico negro era capaz de un crimen tan sofisticado. I read a lot of books, I like fantasy, romance and some non-fiction I work as a librarian, I'm an avid knitter. I collect Dragons, fountain pens, notebooks and filofaxes. And Yarn, lots and lots of yarn. Assassins ahoy 1:52 pm 18 October 2017 The Reapers - John Connolly peripherally a Charlie Parker story, this is more about Louis and Angel; mostly about Louis and his past and what happens when that catches up with them both. A wealthy recluse sends Louis and Angel on a mission to a town where things aren't as they seem and where they find themselves in serious danger. Charlie Parker has to come to their rescue but things are quite perilous and survival won't be easy. This will make and break relationships. Not so much of the supernatural but a lot of assassins and killers being brutal to each other. I liked Willie, the mechanic and his story drew me in (as I'm sure the author intended). There was a great piece: "When the three men had gone, Brooker sat silently at his kitchen table while his wife rolled dough behind him, and tried to ignore the waves of disapproval that were breaking upon his back." (p. 336 in my edition) I liked the imagery. There were some very gory parts to this... not for the squeamish, the relish some of the characters had for killing was chilling. This was a great read. Finally we find out a bit more about Louis and Angels backstory. The book really belongs to them but Parker is there for them at the end. In a way the story is a sad one as you get to see the fallout of Louis’s, Angels and Parker’s actions on those who come in contact with them. Friend and foe alike.
