Welcome to Litsy!

Climbing into a John Connolly novel, is completely immersive, and I love them. Here we are presented with a very dense story that involves drug runners, stolen artifacts, and other assorted bad guys. The artifacts in question are mummified children, sought by their owner and an angry god. Parker‘s dead daughter, who waits for him, is under threat from an as yet unknown presence. All the usual supporting characters appear. In short, a great read!

Current reading situation 😁

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ the 22nd book in the incredible Charlie Parker series. Although this one started out slow, it picks up well. Wr are getting closer to why he is haunted by the ghost of his child. I need more Louis and Angel than I got here so hoping we see more of them in the next book.

I absolutely love this series & what birthday month would be complete without reading at least one book from your very favorite author? This 22nd installment is one that harkens back to earlier novels in the series. Alongside a plot to track down the missing boyfriend of a local Maine artist, the supernatural element of the series particularly shines bright. I think answers we‘ve all been waiting for are taking a front seat at last! Exciting!

Loved it! 😍 I normally bail on a long series after about 5 books, but Connolly never disappoints me and keeps me interested, even after 22 books.

This book leans more into the supernatural as Charlie Parker fights to locate missing children with the help of his daughters. The book is dark and gritty and filled with all the things I love about these books.
