Connolly, John: The Wrath of Angels

Two old friends out hunting in the forests of Maine come across a crashed plane in which they
find a large pile of cash which they divide and are then careful with how they spend it, often
anonymously giving cash to thosein need in their community.   Their secret is known only to
the brother of one and the daughter of another.   They ask Charlie Parker to find the plane
which has remained undiscovered to the present day.   He agrees and finds himself involved in
various event which bring in characters from previous books until the finale at the site of the
plane which involves supernatural happenings.   Again, the book is well written, almost too
much so for a thriller, the occasional digressions tending to slow down what is already a rather
leisurely exposition.  Connolly is, however, skilled enough to ensure that the reader's interest
is held.   With books like this, I do sometimes wonder how the book is written - is there a
simple abc plot which is then elaborated or is the plot developed almost chronologically with
diversions occuring almost by accident.
