Randall did his time and built a new life in the small Maine town of Pastor's Bay, but somebody has discovered the truth about Randall. He is being tormented by anonymous messages, haunting reminders of his past crime, and he wants private detective Charlie Parker to make it stop. But another year-old girl has gone missing, this time from Pastor's Bay, and the missing girl's family has its own secrets to protect. Because Randall Haight The Burning Soul telling lies. However, there is no prologue or epilogue which is a first for the Charlie Parker series. Like the previous books, the The Burning Soul alternates each chapter between Parker and the rest of the cast. The Burning Soul is completely self-contained and can be read as a standalone novel, although there are a few references to the previous books, but nothing major or spoiler-ish. So I was curious to see how the new Charlie Parker novel would measure up to the rest of the series. The Burning Soul is a bit different in plot structure from the previous Charlie Parker novels as there is no Prologue. Charlie soon becomes involved himself when Aimee Pricehis attorney and some time employer, asks him to help her with a client: Randall Haightwho killed a year-old The Burning Soul with his friend when they were teenagers. The Burning Soul a separate track, readers follow the downward spiral of Boston gangster Tommy Morris who is The Burning Soul hunted by his former associates. From here, The Burning Soul follows these two separate threads, providing clues along the way as The Burning Soul how everything might be connected Plot-wise, The Burning Soul hearkens back to the earlier mystery-filled plots of the first four Charlie Parker novels. More specifically, the book features a frequently used mystery trope The Burning Soul a missing person in a small town with its own dark secrets. Humor meanwhile, is more pronounced in this book thanks to the presence of Angel, Louis and the Fulcis. The Burning Soul is always hope. If we choose to abandon it, our souls will turn to ash and blow away. But The Burning Soul soul can burn and not be damned. The Soul can burn with a bright fire, and never turn to ash. You have to be careful in case your lies are heard, and the gods of the underworld mock you by turning them to truths. For instance, a possible new partner to Charlie was introduced in The Loversbut there is no mention of that character in The Burning Soul or its predecessor. A disappointing omission since I was interested to see how that subplot might develop. Newer Post Older Post Home. Subscribe to: Post Comments Atom. Follow by Email. Copyright Fantasy Book Critic.
