Burning Soul: A Thriller Audiobook

" I'm a John Connolly fan so slipped comfortably into his style and the characters without needing explanations. However if it's your first JC then Charlie Parker will be a stranger to you - but not for long. I think these books are terrific - a blend of friendship and loss, scary drifts through reality in the netherworld and whether you're a believer in wraiths and shadows of dead people or not JC keeps it real enough for the story to work on many levels. This book worked for me - and I recommend it to you... "

" Just read the first few pages - and after that you will not be able to stop - the chill starts. Not the best Charlie Parker novel feel needed more Angel & Louis and an ending with his daughter to send a chill down the spine would have been good. "

" One of the best Charlie Parker books. A tight, exciting mystery. "

" John Connolly did it again! Everything you could expect in a Charlie Parker story is in "The Burning Soul": Angel and Louis, the Fulci brothers, some wandering spirits, the landscape and so on. Above all "The Burning Soul" has a sound plot, with all his twist and turns you always want to know what is really happening "

" Slow boil to the finale...missing girl, a mobster, a long dead girl, a reformed(?) killer & Connolly's protaganist-Charlie Parker- thrown all together. A great start and moves at good clip, exposing layer after layer. Oh yeah, it also includes some familiar faces-Louis & Angel and the Fulcis-don't mess with these guys. Best compliment I can give this-he is reminding more and more of James Lee Burke-another author I love. "

" John Connelly. Charlie Parker. It isn't The Black Angel but it is another awesome book. Enough said. "

" Strong work by a favorite author. A child is abducted and as the investigation continues, a neighbor's dark past becomes an issue. Tight plotting and incisive descriptions abound. Can't wait for his next work. "

" Another of his later (Charlie Parker series) books that I finished up skimming the last 100 pages. I just couldn't get in to it as there was far too much description. "

" This is the first Charlie Parker book I read. It won't be the last. "

" Best Charlie pParker book in a long time. Really good. "

" I wish there was more Angel and Louis. "

" Starts strong, tried to quick to wrap up at the end "

" Perfectly written, with a cast of unfailingly fascinating characters, a well-placed kick in the teeth to local, state and federal cops, one crime that turns into a labyrinth of twists and double twists, and a wonderful, bitter protagonist. Connolly's latest is his best. "

" As good as I've come to expect a Charlie Parker thriller to be. Unputdownable over the last 200+ pages. Only thing stopping it from a five star rating is the lack of anything significant added to the overall mythology. "

" Connolly's books are dark, dark, dark, often dealing with unspeakable evil. Yet, despite the darkness, there is redemption. "

" Pretty good, but lacked a punch at the end. "

" Charlie Parker is my hero!!! LOVED this book, couldn't wait to get back to it when I was not reading. This is the most recent in the Charlie Parker series though, started it backwards,so now have to go back to beginning! "

" This was a great story. Well written and keeps you in suspense all the way and includes a surprise ending. Definitely worth a read. "

" Another great book in the Charlie Parker series. "

" I thought this book was well written but I was a little confused by the lush descriptions but the lack of depth of the main character. "

" What can I say, another great book in a series that I have come to love "

" The Burning Soul is another in Connolly's Charlie Parker series. Parker becomes embroiled in the case of a missing 14 year old girl. You be surprised at the outcome! "

" Interesting book - haven't read the Charlie Parker series - think I will try more - "

" Really enjoyed reading this. A bit disappointed that Louis and Angel didn't appear more, and that Charlie's daughter only made a small appearance. But overall well written as you'd expect from John Connonlly. "

" Another exciting thriller from Connolly. It's always surprising to me that an author from Ireland can write novels that take place in Maine- and make it believable. "

" Disappointing... I really liked his prior books, but seems like he just 'threw this together'. Disjointed, did not build suspense. "

" Finishing this book made me sad. I now have no more Charlie Parker books to read :( "
