Every Dead Thing
Every Dead Thing: A Charlie Parker Thriller | John Connolly
Tortured and brilliant private detective Charlie Parker stars in this thriller by New York Times bestselling author John Connolly.Former NYPD detective Charlie "Bird" Parker is on the verge of madness. Tortured by the unsolved slayings of his wife and young daughter, he is a man consumed by guilt, regret, and the desire for revenge. When his former partner asks him to track down a missing girl, Parker finds himself drawn into a world beyond his imagining: a world where thirty-year-old killings remain shrouded in fear and lies, a world where the ghosts of the dead torment the living, a world haunted by the murderer responsible for the deaths in his familya serial killer who uses the human body to create works of art and takes faces as his prize. But the search awakens buried instincts in Parker: instincts for survival, for compassion, for love, and, ultimately, for killing. Aided by a beautiful young psychologist and a pair of bickering career criminals, Parker becomes the bait in a trap set in the humid bayous of Louisiana, a trap that threatens the lives of everyone in its reach. Driven by visions of the dead and the voice of an old black psychic who met a terrible end, Parker must seek a final, brutal confrontation with a murderer who has moved beyond all notions of humanity, who has set out to create a hell on earth: the serial killer known only as the Traveling Man. In the tradition of classic American detective fiction, Every Dead Thing is a tense, richly plotted thriller, filled with memorable characters and gripping action. It is also a profoundly moving novel, concerned with the nature of loyalty, love, and forgiveness. Lyrical and terrifying, it is an ambitious debut, triumphantly realized.

March 20 #MarchMagic Favorite Male Author This is my favorite male author. After you read one of his books, you'll be so impressed with the vocabulary that all other authors feel like they are writing at grade 10 level. This is my favorite series from this author. It's dark mystery thriller with great characters. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Is there anything more annoying than downloading an audiobook and realizing it‘s the abridged version?! I have the ebook but the file type must be weird because it will only open on my iPad kindle app and not my paperwhite… I was excited to be able to listen to it instead! My mom has been bugging me to read this series for years, but she‘s just going to have to wait a little longer…

Bookzombie It‘s so annoying when that happens! I don‘t really get why there are abridged books anyway. 13mo

Really not my thing but I persevered until the end. The story was quite good in parts but it just didn‘t grab me. When the murderer was finally revealed I couldn‘t even remember who it was.

This book was so brutal so I'd recommend to mature readers only because it contains a lot of torture, killing and worse. 🔪

If you're into psychological crime thrillers that are full of suspense, gore and keep you guessing what's going to happen next and Whodunnit...then this is for you!

I'll definitely be reading book two of this series! ✅

A dark and mysterious five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

TrishB This series gets better and better! 3y
TheNeverendingTBR @TrishB That's good to know, I hear that it tends to get a little bit more supernatural as the series goes on? Looking forward to this.. 3y
TrishB Yes, definitely more supernatural as you get through the series. 3y

It has the detective element, fantastic characters and brilliant plot lines but also supernatural, other world stuff going on.
I‘m on number 15 and it‘s still a brilliant series, I don‘t want to catch up because I don‘t want to think there are no more!

Wow, the murders in this book were vivid and brutal. Connolly writes well , Charlie Parker & the characters are interesting,locations are described in detail.Very dark, gritty , a great start to a series I plan to continue.My problem? I‘m reading several series with 20 + books in them,only on single digits on most of them.🤦‍♀️I will look on the bright side & say I will always have plenty to read!

I'm rereading this one so I can finally finish up this series. Charlie Parker is one of my favorite characters and this dark, twisty, gruesome book is an excellent start to the series.

Yes, this book is vivid and violent, but it is so well written and you'll find yourself attached to the characters as you read.

Parker is searching for his wife and daughter's murderer and he will stop at nothing to get justice.

This is so much more than a thriller/ detective book. Great wisdom & writing from John Connelly. I often wonder how this Charlie Parker character is making his way relatively sanely ( so far ) through this book. The big fear at such loss would be a #MrAsylum situation ( no spoilers .all happens very early ) #OctoberXFiles

Day 6 #SuspensefulSunday Love John Connolly's Charlie Parker series. Parker is deeply wounded and cursed, yet blessed; his frequent helpers Angel and Louis are unique yet fully believable.

#LitsyAtoZ Letter C
I've wanted to rd Connolly for ages so this challenge was a perfect excuse and certainly the 1st in the Charlie parker series has me hooked and looking forward to rdng on. It felt v like a J L Burke novel & the author acknowledged his influence in the preface with a gr8 sense of place and i loved the 2 pt thread. It is however v graphically violent and at parts i worried about the brutality + why i was njyng it- not a cosy rd

This book came highly recommended by several reader friends. I‘ve read oodles of crime thrillers over the years so figured all would be well. But ... I guess I‘ve hit a point in my life as a reader that heinous and/or torturous murder scenes, especially those involving children, is too dark for me. It‘s meant to be unsettling, of course, but I just couldn‘t continue investing myself into the story. It‘s well written but the story is not for me.

I decided to do a crime theme on #LitsyAtoZ with a view to trying new writers and also some old friends and it allowed me trawl the various crime writing prize and blog sites to find authors. My C book is new to me but well loved on Litsy so an easy pick and a 100 pages in i suspect i will become addicted to Charlie Parker, really enjoying the read.

I flat-out hated this book. In retrospect, it was never for me, rife with child torture killings, humans flayed alive, and other ultraviolence. But also, the plot elements felt EXTREMELY tired, and I guessed the identity of the killer in the first quarter of the book. The protagonist had to be a prize idiot not to know who it was until the last 17 pages. I've read other Connolly stuff and liked it, but this was just bad. 🤢
