Arrives: 11 - 18 March

The sixth haunting Charlie Parker thriller not to be missed by fans of Stephen King and Michael Connelly.

'This man's so good, it's terrifying.' - The Times

Daniel Clay, a once-respected psychiatrist, has been missing for years following revelations about harm done to the children in his care. Believing him dead, his daughter Rebecca has tried to come to terms with her father's legacy, but her fragile peace is about to be shattered. Someone is asking questions about Daniel Clay, someone who does not believe that he is dead: the revenger Merrick, a father and a killer obsessed with discovering the truth about his own daughter's disappearance. Private detective Charlie Parker is hired to make Merrick go away, but Merrick will not be stopped. Soon Parker finds himself trapped between those who want the truth about Daniel Clay to be revealed, and those who want it to remain hidden at all costs. But there are other forces at work here. Someone is funding Merrick's hunt, a ghost from Parker's past. And Merrick's actions have drawn others from the shadows, half-glimpsed figures intent upon their own form of revenge, pale wraiths drifting through the ranks of the unquiet dead. The Hollow Men have come . . .

Review

There is an element of the supernatural, taking the reader into a place where the real, contemporary world is touched by something from our worst nightmares, and he does it in lyrical, almost poetic language which grips and chills. (Sunday Telegraph)

Parker is a classic character who walks straight and tall like someone from the old west, and the reader knows all will be well once he arrives in town. THE UNQUIET just won't let you put it down as the plot careers across the pages like a runaway train. Excellent! (Independent on Sunday)

This man's so good, it's terrifying ... a quieter, subtler, more reflective way of scaring us into shivering wrecks ... His gift for instilling terror is undimmed ... Connolly operates in the terrain between unease and horror and does so without resorting to hysteria. (The Times)

Latest Charlie Parker Thriller

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2007

Verified Purchase

This is John Connollys latest addition to his best selling Charlie Parker series. For those unfamiliar with the books Charlie Parker is a Private Detective with a dark past who frequently gets into cases which have chilling often supernatural edges to them.

This latest book greets the return of the mysterious Collector who readers of Nocturnes may remember from the short story The Reflecting Eye.

This time Charlie Parker along with various friends and other characters are trying to track down a group of paedophiles guilty of various disturbing acts who have gone to ground for years following the killing of one of their victims, this story has alot less of the supernatural in it than some of the other Parker books and is more thriller based.

All around it is a good book and readers of past Parker books can expect the usual great writing, fast moving plot and intriguing characters. This book may not be so much suited to first time readers of the Charlie Parker series as there is alot of references to past books which may seem confusing or irrelevant to those who havent read the series or at least part of it.

Really is a good book for returning readers of the series but if your a first time reader try some of his other books first and see if theyre too your taste if so you'll enjoy this one all the more.

Always dark; this one's darker

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 August 2007

Verified Purchase

Charlie Parker always seems to find the cases which turn out to haunt him even more - or is it that the cases find him? The Collector is back, his friends in low places, Louis and Angel are back and so are Charlie's daemons.
Yet again John Connolly brings darkness and tragedy to the page. Hunting the killer of an abused young girl, CP almost bites off more than he can handle in the harrowing search for the men who systematically found their prey and carried out their gross acts of horror.
The book moves along with pace and, although Parker never fires a shot in anger, others do and the body count mounts. New readers may not appreciate how The Collector fits into Charlie's life but this shouldn't spoil the storyline. And perhaps, Charlie does, at last, discover and deal with his own problems. Maybe we'll find out for sure in the next book.

WOW, ANOTHER MASTER PIECE BY JC

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 March 2012

Verified Purchase

If someone was going to read this book as their first, well, personally, I would recommend that you start with JC's first book - Every Dead Thing as you will get a better understanding of Charlie Parker and about his good friends : Angel and Louis. From there onwards JC's books just get better and better with some absolutely bizzare/evil characters and strong story lines.

The Unquiet, in my opinion, is a fantastic read, though the subject was rather 'heavy - sexual abuse' and the twist at the end was rather unexpected - well it was in my case! I do enjoy the witty/crazy dialogue between Angel/Louis and Charlie and just wish that Angel and Louis had a bigger role in the Charlie Parker series. I'm always waiting in anticipation for them to come into the story line. I don't know about you guys, but I also have a massive grin on my face when I'm reading about the Fulci brothers and Jackie Garner - again I'm hoping that JC will give them a bigger input in the next books.

From a very satisfied fan.

Chilling and Emotive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 September 2007

"The Unquiet" is both chilling and emotive conveyed through Connolly's fantastic writing ability. I did find that the plot moved at a slower pace but this allows you to learn more about Charlie Parker, really bringing his character alive.

The plot is a dark one involving child abuse that occurred in the past. You feel yourself urging the villians to be found and dealt with - and feeling disappointed when it seems that one may get away with it.

Connolly does not go into detail with what terrible acts are committed on the children and in fact much is left unsaid. He doesn't need to because he conveys the message through piercing and perceptive writing.

Up to the usual high standard.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 July 2015

Verified Purchase

A good example of the Charlie Parker series, with John Connolly's usual expressive writing, although I am finding the plot moves a little slowly in this case (I'm still reading it). But that's the nature of this series - the stories evolve rather than hitting you like an avalanche. The development of the character of Merrick is fascinating, and it's this meticulous attention to character development that makes the series so engrossing.
