My first mistake was thinking this was a Michael Connelly (sp?) book. It is a story about Iraq war vets in the northeast who are committing suicide at a high rate. They are all involved in a smuggling operation transporting stolen relics from a looted Iraqi museum. In the process of that lootin...
John Connolly remains a master. I don't know how many times I can write how genius I think he is before it gets redundant; hopefully never. Every Charlie Parker novel remains unique, and they don't get stale.I thought I had a handle on how this book was going to play out, and was slightly disappo...
It's been a whole since I had read a book in this series had it on my kindle for a while. But wanting to do something other than fantasy it was a nice change. Not the favorite in this series I love the exchange between Charlie Louis and Angel with this book lacked. It was a decent who done it typ...
I read other readers's opinion about that book in Goodreads after reading a few pages which were, to my taste, to much filled with descriptions about the weather, the landscape and with too much writing about crows - and when you know my love for description, you understand my hesitations. People...
I love this series. It is violent, twisted, scary and dark but for some reason it has sucked me in. This book really delves into the supernatural aspects of this series. The struggle between light and dark, the fight with fallen angels who are not friends of humans. You also learn the origins ...
I should have enjoyed this more than I did, but I had just come off a double dose of Gabaldon. I read Outlander for the third time and Dragonfly in Amber for the second. She is such a great author, she keeps popping up in other author's book reviews! I am anxious to get back to her, but i am g...
Aw! I loved the ending! I actually really enjoy this trilogy of Samuel Johnson and his friends. Intrigue and horror but hilarious and light, Connolly definitely hit every mark and then some with these. The end of this one though truly had me grinning with joy. *SPOILERS HERE* To know that Samuel ...
Free via Kindle Owners' Lending Library. A short fantasy story for bibliophiles, it's tender and touching and worth the read. However, if you have any intention of reading Anna Karenina in the future and have so far managed to avoid knowledge of the ending of the story or of what happens for An...
In March of 2009, I started reading Charlie’s journey through the criminal underworld with “Every Dead Thing”. While having a little supernatural stuff thrown in there, his character reminded me of a “Batman-ish” vigilante. You had the classic story line of a traumatic event happening to an undes...

Podia também ser o último, mas infelizmente há mais.Tudo do que existe de pior e de mais horrível no mundo em que vivemos, com o seu lado mais obscuro, frio e desprezível, envolve o protagonista Charlie Parker, também conhecido...
Dutch Island, also called Sanctuary Island, off the coast of Maine is a small tight-knit community. Police Officer Joe Dupree is the law enforcement on the island. The worst violations he ever sees are teenagers breaking curfew and the harmless antics of the town drunk. He likes the relative peac...
