babonkadonkas's review against another edition

Too much racism and misogyny in descriptions and everything. Can’t believe this book was so highly recommended I couldn’t stand it.

5.0

Well I absolutely loved this first book in the Charlie Parker series, Connolly is such a great author, especially writing dark and mysterious material - can't believe this was my first ever read of his - I guess you've got to start somewhere though.

This book was so brutal so I'd recommend to mature readers only because it contains a lot of torture, killing and worse.

I kept forgetting who was who though, because there's so many characters; the main character though is very likeable.

If you're into psychological crime thrillers that are full of suspense, gore and keep you guessing what's going to happen next and Whodunnit...then this is for you! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
