Dark Hollow
by John Connolly
In his second novel, Connolly continues the story of Detective Charlie Parker, a man still scarred by the murders of his wife and child a year earlier. Parker in this novel is a changed man - finding his family's murderer has given at least a small measure of peace, and he has moved to Maine in order to fix up his grandfather's house.
Of course, nothing can be that easy, and he finds himself in the midst of an old murder investigation, the last one that his grandfather worked on. Once again, his friends Angel and Louis join him, prompting this quote:
"They were on the side of the angels, even if the angels were not entirely sure this was a positive development."
Connolly is an excellent writer, and whenever the novel veers towards being too dark, he injects a bit of wit. I'm glad there are so many more books in this series to read!
