I can't remember how many times I've read this book. It is the start of an adventure with Charlie Parker that will leave you wanting the next one

Im laughing at many peoples reviews of this book "I don't like serial killer books" or "Haven't read this yet". One of my favourite books and series, if you like Harry Bosch or Elvis Cole with a little sprinkle of Steven King you will love John's books.

The Wrath of Angles introduced me to Charlie Parker series. As the first book of the series and the beginning of Parker's "actions", it has special place in my shelf. Well-written, unexpected plot. Loveable characters
