The Lovers by John Connolly

adventurous dark mysterious tense

5.0

Back to the Charlie Parker mythology as he sets out to unravel his origins and the reasons for his father's murderous actions - set up way back in the first book, but also completely entwined with the supernatural stuff, so either that's some nifty footwork to make everything fit or pretty decent long-term planning. We even have a recurring non-love-interest man-pain generating female character in Parker's lawyer who hasn't ended up murdered yet, so that's a development. Still a throroughly testosteroney series, though.
