Review: The Instruments of Darkness

The Instruments of Darkness by John Connolly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Once again, Connolly brings back Charlie Parker and it is great hearing his voice once again.

Charlie is living his life in Portland, much the same as he was before, though now he is also working for Moxie, his Lawyer. That is when a case comes to him, a missing boy and his Mother accused of murdering and disposing of his body, Charlie knows he is up against it. He has a feeling that she is innocent, which goes against popular opinion, while also having a bad feeling about the woman's husband. With the aid of a disgraced psychic, Angel and Louie, Parker finds himself in the depths of Maine woodland, against a house that seems to quite literally be evil.

Listening to the audio felt like I was coming home in some ways, I had never realised how much I had missed Parkers voice. The audio itself was read brilliantly, and I loved his take on Parker, and his friends. Another brilliant book from Connelly.
