    A little disappointed
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 14, 2022*

I have enjoyed reading the Matthew  Corbett series so far and I plan to continue  until I finish them . I have to admit ,  I did not enjoy this book as much as the others. I believe in tying up loose ends when the story ends. This one did not, it continues until the next book.  I am ready to find Matthew and not drag out the story in doing so. On to the next book in Hr he series.

    I've found a new favorite author
  

*by S***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 1, 2014*

"The River of Souls" is my first foray into the imagination of Robert McCarron and it won't be my last.  While I have described McCarron as "new favorite author" it should be pointed out that, while he is new to me, is not new to world of novelists.  He has been quite prolific for quite a while.  As has been the case with many authors/works with whom I am unfamiliar, I accidentally began reading in the middle of a series.  I hate it when that happens but it happens (Repairman Jack; Col. Collins and the Event Group; Doc Ford; etc).  However, the author has taken great pains to attempt to allow this story to stand on it's own merit.  McCarron cleverly introduces the main character, Matthew Corbett, several pages into the novel making it seem as if he is secondary to the story.The book is well-written.  It is descriptive but not overly so.  It presents us with a significant period in our nation's history but avoids the pitfall of making the novel feel as if it's a text book for a history class.  While the main character is a "problem-solver" and has quite powerful reasoning skills, McCarron avoids turning him into a super-human who is incapable of making mistakes.I enjoy historical or period novels.  River of Souls is set in 1703 Manhattan, (NY,NY) and Charles Town (Charleston), South Carolina.  I enjoy mystery novels, and while this story involves a murder mystery, McCarron also manages to draw us into a tale of what seems to be the super-natural.  All of this is woven into a story the keeps the reader engaged and not wanting to put the book down.My only criticism of "The River of Souls" is that the publisher fails to alert the reader that this is a story with a history found in previous novels.  The story did stand well on it's own, however had I known the continuing nature of the story and characters, I probably would have gone back to the beginning of the over-arching story and built the story structure chronologically.I heartily recommend "The River of Souls".  Full of well-developed, complex characters, possessing a great story line and seamlessly mixing genres, I am reasonably sure that you will be glad you chose to enter McCarron's late 15th and early 16th century world.

    While not as awesome as the last few books, still very entertaining!
  

*by R***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 4, 2014*

In this latest installment in the excellent series set in the early 1700's featuring the young problem-solver Matthew Corbett, Matthew is on edge after his dangerous adventure at the Caribbean stronghold of the mysterious Professor Fell (in the last book, The Providence Rider), an adventure that has put a rift between him and his main crush, Berry Grisby. So when he is offered a tempting 50 pounds for the easy-peasy job of escorting a young debutante to a high class ball in the Charles Town colony, he takes the opportunity to get out of New York for a while. But once there, the daughter of a powerful plantation owner is killed and the murder is pinned on a group of runaway slaves. Believing that there is more to this murder than meets the eye, Matthew decides to join the mob chasing the slaves up the infamous "River of Souls", a creepy, swampy bog that is known not only for it's dangerous animals and violent native tribes, but also for the rumours of a supernatural predator who's presence is signaled by the sound of a wailing infant.The novel is the shortest of the Corbett novels so far and moves at an infectious pace. The book also stands out because the usual supporting cast is mostly absent as Matthew embarks on his new adventure solo! I also love the atmosphere the book has once the journey up  the river begins. You can practically smell the swamp and feel the almost never-ending darkness of the night. But the mystery is solved almost immediately, which causes the novel to lose some of its momentum. And the book does feel a bit rushed, especially in it's final third, as if trying to wrap up the adventure as quickly as possible in order to get us to the final events in the end. But those events (although hinged on a huge coincidence!) add up to a doozy of a cliffhanger, leaving me aching to read the next installment. Although not as consistently amazing as the last few books in the series, the book is a worthy follow-up to the Matthew Corbett adventures and a quick and entertaining summer-reading adventure!
