A slight adding to my original review from 2012 when I was just discovering the writings of John Connolly and his Charlie Parker series. Having read the whole series by now (with high expectations of the next installments) this rereading which is only interesting in a series of books you are are really invested in them.

The second novel written By mr. Connelly in which Louis & Angel play a bigger part and also it seems that organised crime takes a vacation in Maine due to the amount of nearly two million dollars that was stolen in a transaction between two parties by a third party. And they come not visiting in the nice touristy part of Maine but back into the woods where also the answer of a family mystery and the answers of an old murder mystery are waiting for Mr. Parker . Who got caught up in a family matter that ends with some dead people, when kindly asked to keep his nose out of the matter Charlie does not want to do that and some Maffia types end up with some serious annoyance with that answer.
When his former police partners daughter disappears in the same area there is nothing that can stop Charlie and his friends from looking. And who is this mystical figure called Caleb and what is his interest in all this murder and mayhem.

Once more Mr. C seems to be able to balance a thriller with a dark subject matter with the brilliantly funny and well written dialogue/ It actually takes the edge of some of the darkness. This second novel in the Charlie Parker series does deliver excitement galore. A book that was hard to lie down and catch some sleep.

After two novels it seems I am getting somewhat addicted to the writing of mr. Connelly.
