The Lovers by John Connolly
5.0
This addition to the Charlie Parker series was just outstanding!
The Lovers is the 8th book in the series and goes into the life and circumstances of Charlie’s parents and the actions his Dad commits on a dark and twisted night.
Honestly, I’m not sure how much to go into with this review. There’s too many spoilers, along with potentially ruining a new reader that decides to take on this series.
But here goes with some limited information!
The Lovers starts off with Charlie Parker not being in a good place. He’s working at a bar and has lost his private investigator license. Things are not going well in in his life and he’s got tons of questions.
One of those questions involves his Dad. He was a police officer for the NYPD and one night, his Dad kills two unarmed teenagers and then takes his own life.
This has haunted Charlie his whole life so he decides to jump into the mystery and uncover the why.
Besides this going down, Charlie has an investigative journalist, Mickey Wallace who’s on his tail. Mickey wants to write about Charlie’s life and all the cases he’s been involved in over the years. And Charlie wants nothing to do with Mickey!
The Lovers is such a great addition to the series.
It really gets into the backstory of Charlie and what I believe this whole series is going to be about.
And all I have to say about that is "Hello Darkness, My Old Friend!"
This series brings out lots of emotions and I can’t wait to find out what happens in the next addition!
I’m so glad I finally started this series. It’s becoming a favorite and John Connolly has also become one of my favorite authors! His writing is descriptive, atmospheric and just damn good.
