Critics Review
Author on blood-chilling form. - Barry Forshaw, Good Book Guide
Connolly’s compulsive plot ensures that the bloody narrative never descends into a mindless gore-fest, but matures into a gripping tale of friendship and revenge. - The TimesConnolly’s is a unique talent - Susanna Yager, Sunday TelegraphIt’s a must-read for fans of Connolly, offering a rare insight into the background of the slightly dark and dangerous duo who have featured in this series, where death and demons go hand-in-hand. - Evening TelegraphAs ever with Connolly, the macabre narrative is couched in prose that is often allusive and poetic … Refreshingly, Connolly has always resisted repeating himself, and the plot trajectory is strikingly innovative. The Reapers affords unusually bracing doses of Stygian delights. - Barry Forshaw, IndependentUtterly compelling tale of mystery and imagination … A supernatural western set among an elite cadre of samurai-style contract killers and the most purely entertaining novel Connolly has written. - Irish TimesThis painstaking recreation of realistic settings sets the former journalist’s works of fiction apart from many of his contemporaries. - Evening HeraldFans of Connolly’s work will be aware of Angel and Louis, two shadowy assassins, and this new Charlie Parker novel explores their back-story, set against their encounter with Bliss, the killer of killers. - Scotland on SundayAbout The Author
