New York Times best-selling author John Connolly writes a lyrical, haunting tale that turns to private investigator Charlie Parker's hidden past... and a search that forces him to investigate all that he has ever believed true about his beloved parents - and himself.
Stripped of his license, Parker takes a job in a Portland bar. Alone and directionless, he faces at last a shadow he has lived with since his childhood what made his father, a respected police officer, apparently shoot dead two unarmed teens and then commit suicide. His quest leads him back to the little New York town where he grew up, to the mysterious history of the NYPD, and to the existence of secret friends and hidden enemies. And waiting in the shadows, as they have been throughout Charlie's life, are a man and a woman with only one purpose to bring an end to his very existence.

I absolutely love this series. I am re-reading and find myself amazed that the writing, character development, story, etc. all keep getting better and better. While the material can be somewhat dark at times, it is impossible to put these books down. Don't ask me which book is my favorite. I love them all. The author has created a world all its own.I just finished The Lovers and I can't figure out why it took me so long to reread these. I have both hard copy and kindle versions of all the books. Love John and Charlie (and all of Charlie's loyal friends).

The Lovers A Charlie Parker Mystery (Audible Audio Edition) John Connolly George Guidall Simon Schuster Audio Books Reviews
I have been a John Connolly fan for the last 5 years. My first book of his was THE BLACK ANGEL, which quickly became my favorite book I ever read. Then he came out with THE UNQUIET and that one edged out THE BLACK ANGEL as my favorite book ever. So when I sat down to read THE LOVERS I wondered if that was going to be the new #1. I must say that it is not, but that doesnt mean it wasn't a great book because I am telling you now...THIS IS A GREAT BOOK!
For those who are new to John Connolly, I can confidently say you could read this without reading the previous Charlie Parker books, but it will make you want to go back and read those earlier novels. John Connolly doesn't give anything away to those earlier novels, but this one might be a little more rich to you the reader if you have read the earlier books. If you haven't you can still enjoy this one from cover to cover.
I won't go into what THE LOVERS is about as you can read that here, but know this, Charlie Parker's world is a very dark one. There are sinister forces at work that want him dead. In the previous books there was a fine line that ran through the novels that touched on the supernatural. In THE LOVERS, the supernatural aspect seems a bit more vivid and prevalent.
John Connolly pulls no punches in his delivery of a story. You can tell when you are reading that he lets the characters and story breathe on their own. Nothing feels forced or cliche. When you read THE LOVERS you feel as if you could go to Maine and go the bar where Charlie works and see him serving up a beer, talking with Louis and Angel. You might even see the Fulci brothers guarding the door.
Yes, it is that real. It is that authentic. THE LOVERS is a wonderful hard-boiled novel that would make any reader proud. If Thomas Harris and Stephen King were to collaborate on a novel, THE LOVERS and other Charlie Parker novels would be their creation. I hope you get a chance to read this book. You will not be disappointed. Make sure you have a lot of time on your hands because you will NOT want to put this down. I can assure you of that. Thanks again Mr. Connolly for another time well spent with Charlie Parker!
Wow, this author can WRITE! He writes so lyrically and weaves a spell around his reader, drawing them deeper into his stories.
There is a slight undercurrent of supernatural about the main characters, but the stories are basically about murder, good and evil. The main character, Charlie Parker, is the strong, silent loner who uses his righteousness as a weapon in his fight against evil. This may sound weird or I'm describing this poorly, but you have to read this series. It's all so intriguing and will have you wondering, "Who is Charlie Parker?" A fallen demon trying to redeem himself? A struggling angel trying to get his wings back? Or a simply a good man who is constantly confronted by evil?
I highly recommend all of John Connolly's books. If you haven't read them yet . . . you're in for a treat. His books are a cross between Dean Koontz and Michael Connelly.
John Connolly's writing defies genre. Part mystery, suspense, fantasy, crime — I'm always fully immersed in Charlie Parker's world and those who are in his orbit. I'm in the midst of re-reading the entire Charlie Parker series (happily interrupted for short periods by Nocturnes and Nocturnes 2, which are equally engaging), after which I'll re-read the Samuel Johnson novels, then start on the Chronicles of the Invaders series (which I have not read before). His prose is intelligent, descriptive, evocative, complex, and engrossing. These are not beach books. You must give yourself fully to the experience and take the time to savor each sentence.
It's been a while since I read a Charlie Parker novel - The Reapers being the last one, and that's at least a year or more ago - but it didn't take long to be swept back into his world. This book was particularly interesting in that it covered Charlie's own back story and the death of his father. Of course there was the usual paranormal/supernatural element - the overlay of an 'evil' that is always there in Charlie's world. Connolly's writing style imbues his descriptions of places and people with a real sense of being and of knowing. This is not a 'happy ever after' read - it goes to some very dark places. However, for those of us who have read all this series from the beginning, those dark places are expected and the books would seem strange (stranger?) without them.
I absolutely love this series. I am re-reading and find myself amazed that the writing, character development, story, etc. all keep getting better and better. While the material can be somewhat dark at times, it is impossible to put these books down. Don't ask me which book is my favorite. I love them all. The author has created a world all its own.
I just finished The Lovers and I can't figure out why it took me so long to reread these. I have both hard copy and kindle versions of all the books. Love John and Charlie (and all of Charlie's loyal friends).
