The Children of Eve

A Thriller

By: John Connolly

Narrated by: Jeff Harding

The “consistently high-quality” (Booklist) Charlie Parker series continues with a white-knuckled new thriller from New York Times bestselling author John Connolly.

Wyatt Riggins, the boyfriend of rising Maine artist Zetta Nadeau, has gone missing, leaving behind a cell phone containing a single-word message: RUN. Private investigator Charlie Parker is hired to find out why Riggins has fled, and from whom.

Parker discovers that Riggins, an ex-soldier, has been involved in the abduction of four children from Mexico: three girls and a boy, all belonging to the cartel boss Blas Urrea—except Urrea’s family is safe and well in Mexico, which means the abductees cannot be his children. Yet whoever they are, Urrea wants them back, and has dispatched his agents to secure them, even if it means butchering everyone who stands in their way.

One of those agents is Eugene Seeley, a clever, ruthless solver of other men’s problems. The other is an unknown woman.

Every child has a mother. Now Charlie Parker will face one unlike any other, and learn the terrifying truth about the Children of Eve.

Spookier than most Connolly novels

One of his best! Not much Angel and Louis- but does include some other favorite characters

Narration rocks

As usual JC does not disappoint with his insight but wanted more action…….and Parker is my fav flawed hero

Thank you Mr Connolly

They’re all there, SAC Ross to the Fulchis. Who could ask for more? I can’t get enough.

Good performance

Not as exciting as the his previous novels. Seems to drag along at times but still worth the price of admission.

Charlie Parker is the boss

The story and narration are great. Harding fits Parker completely. I already look forward to the next edition.
