Every Dead Thing by John Connolly

3.0

---

Our first introduction to Charlie Parker, Private Investigator. Parker is a cop who leaves the force after his wife and three-year-old daughter are horrifically murdered. He becomes a bit of a vigilante, hunting down the gravely evil. His first case? The Traveling Man, the monster that killed his family. Like I said, I don’t read a lot of mystery novels, so I don’t know how this stacks up, but I enjoyed it so…. And the first appearance of Louis & Angel where we learn that Louis, a tall elegant black man, has a massive thing for honky-tonk country music, to Angel’s never-ending dismay.
