The Killing Kind by John Connolly

4.0

The third Charlie Parker novel continues the pattern of excellence established by the previous two novels, EVERY DEAD THING and DARK HOLLOW. Connolly is an impressive writer. He creates mood and suspense with a poetic voice that is unique and impressive. There are moments of comedy, but for the most part, he examines the darker side of humanity. In this novel he explore religion and religious extremism, not to mention morality and family. In less capable hands, this could have been a really dark, depressing novel. As it stands, it's an impressive glimpse into the darkness, with a promise of light somewhere to come.
