Publisher's summary

In South Carolina, a young black man faces the death penalty for the rape and murder of Marianne Larousse, daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the state. It's a case that nobody wants to touch, a case with its roots in old evil, and old evil is private detective Charlie Parker's speciality. But Parker is about to make a descent into the abyss, a confrontation with dark forces that threaten all that Parker holds dear: his lover, his unborn child, even his soul. . .

For in a prison cell, a fanatical preacher is about to take his revenge on Charlie Parker, its instruments the very men that Parker is hunting, and a strange, hunched creature that keeps its own secrets buried by a riverbank: the undiscovered killer Cyrus Nairn. Soon, all of these figures will face a final reckoning in southern swamps and northern forests, in distant locations linked by a single thread, a place where the paths of the living and the dead converge. A place known only as the White Road.

John Connolly has a great series on his hands

John Connolly has a great series on his hands but Jeff Harding is the only suitable narrator. Charlie Parker and his life experiences are a little bit out there, not unlike James Lee Burke's series featuring Dave Robicheaux, and Jeff Harding's tambre and cadence bring the character and the book to life the same way Will Patton does for James Lee Burke. Bring back Jeff Harding to stay in the top tier.

Change in narrator is off putting

The story is good, my favorite in the series so far, but the change or narrated, and thus voices as a result, throws you off at first.

I'll give Paul that he is a good voice actor, but the voices for Charlie, Angel, and Louis were just off. would have given him a higher rating though if he had pronounced Louis correctly though

I think I have read all of John Connollys ' books ,and have never been disapointed. The White Road is excellent and in keeping with this authors best. His use of the language is first class, his characters whilst complex are interesting, his plots are perhaps deep, but very compete, The Narrator added to the books enjoyment I look forward to further novels
