Dark Hollow | John Connolly
24 posts | 24 read | 16 to read
Haunted by the murder of his wife and daughter, former New York police detective Charlie Parker retreats home to Scarborough, Maine, to rebuild his shattered life. But his return awakens old ghosts, drawing him into the manhunt for the killer of yet another mother and child. The obvious suspect is the young woman's violent ex-husband. But there is another possibility -- a mythical figure who lurks deep in the dark hollow of Parker's own past, a figure that has haunted his family for generations: the monster known as Caleb Kyle....

The follow-up to the first book in the Charlie Parker series was absolutely brilliant, i'm loving these characters and can't wait to get the third book; Mr. Connolly you're a damn fine author! 👌

KathyWheeler I really need to start the Charlie Parker series. I‘ve read other books by Connolly that I‘ve loved, but I‘ve never read anything in this series. 4y

Oh Charlie Parker how I adore you and your view of the world. 💜

I just finished up the second book in this series and yet again we find the main character, who is still tormented by his family's murder, striving to do something good in the world around him. Parker is on the search for another sadistic serial killer only this one has link to his own childhood.

I'm so bad about not reading the synopsis on the back of books. @lute I wasn't disappointed in this book. But, bc I didn't read anything about it, I was expecting it to be more like The Book of Lost Things. I'm definitely getting the next in the series bc I like Charlie Parker, Angel and Louis and want to see how I feel about the Charlie Parker series unfettered by assumptions. ⭐⭐⭐.5

lute I believe my first Connelly book was the one you mentioned. The reviews in that book referred to his Parker series. Then I found The Lovers in a discount bin and bought it even though I did not think I'd like it from the synopsis on the cover. I ended up loving it and then started reading the entire series in order. Parker's become one of my favorite protagonists. Angel and Louis add so much. In addition, I love me some good vs. evil action.😁 6y
WhatThePuck I love the 3 main characters! That's why I want to give him another chance. Reading other reviews, I've heard a lot about The Lovers book and hear this series only gets better. I just had a few issues. Lol. Like his old flame. And non consequential characters he discarded haphazardly bc he didn't want to take the time to write them out. "I'll just kill them." Lol. 6y

The first book in the Charlie parker series was so good that i just had to pick this up from the library and it was a corker, a thrill right to the very last page and with this edition including a summary of the future books in the series I'll definitely be reading the next soon.

Cathythoughts Really want to read this author & have that beer ! Summer is coming.... cold beer 7y
andrew61 @Cathythoughts yes i was aware of him but then saw lots of positive feedback on litsy 🍻 7y
EadieB @Andrew61 I think that‘s book 2. Book 1 is Every Dead Thing. 7y

I spoke to a woman at the pool yesterday who was reading this book from the Charlie Parker series. What do you think about him? I'm always looking for a good mystery/suspense series but wasn't sure if this was too dark and gritty.
