I’m in constant awe of how exceptional Charlie Parker series is. Also I feel like this series gets better with each book. Connolly’s writing is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever read - it’s poetic and poignant, but also grim and gloomy at the same time. I’m pretty sure this guy would be huge when it comes to all these prestigious literary awards if he chose to write in different - more traditional and approachable - genre than horror. Actually these novels are much more than just a horror. Connolly skilfully and with ease and flow blends different genres and themes. These novels are deeply moving and full of emotions, they cut deep into your heart. While reading one minute you'll be crying because of the accumulation of pain and evil present in these books and the very next you'll be laughing because of the witty and sarcastic dialogues. Also this series have one of the most complex characters in characters in horror and thriller literature. I love how Connolly devotes long passages to meticulously describe the lives, childhood years and personalities of minor characters. I know that it may sound boring, but believe - thanks to Connolly’s exquisite writing it’s everything except boring. In “The Unquiet” Connolly takes on the sensitive subject of child sexual abuse. No doubt it’s one of these risky and touchy subjects which needs to be dealt with great sensitivity and delicacy. And in this field, too, Connolly succeeds. So far it’s the bleakest and most disturbing and emotionally devastating novel in Charlie Parker series. Although - comparing to previous books “The Unquiet” may has the most straightforward plot - calling it inferior to the rest of the series would be a huge misunderstanding. Okay, I feel like me trying to write about these books is pointless because no words can do justice to this marvelous (and creepy) series. It’s flawless - so just read it.
