A review by nigellicus
The Woman in the Woods by John Connolly

adventurous dark mysterious tense

5.0

Connolly's tendency to introduce most of his female characters with an assessment of their attractiveness particularly annoyed me in this one when Parker meets a woman with long grey hair and is somewhat repulsed by it. I know he's got an assholish streak, but come on. It's a habit that sticks out like a sore thumb because he does, at least, have fully rounded female characters, and more than one! in his books now. This one's about a hunt for a missing baby after a woman's body is foud... somewhere, can't remember where, you'll work it out. Evil stalks America kilin and torturin' and generally being mean and evil - can Parker save the day?
