Summary
Nadie puede escapar al pasado。 El detective Charlie Parker no es una excepción， y el pasado lo alcanza de pleno cuando recibe una misteriosa llamada telefónica: han descubierto un cadáver en un oscuro y fétido lago， el Karagol， situado en lo más profundo del sur， en Burdon County， una de las áreas más depauperadas de Arkansas。 La noticia lleva a Parker a recordar lo que le ocurrió años atrás， en 1997， cuando llegó a Burdon County siguiendo una pista que podía conducirle al asesino de su mujer y de su hija; obsesionado por vengar lo que le había ocurrido tan recientemente a su familia， sumido en un insuperable dolor， recaló en esa zona， donde no tardó en provocar las suspicacias de todos los vecinos， y por supuesto de la policía; sin embargo， cuando se enteró de que acababa de morir asesinada una joven negra， la vida de Parker dio un giro inesperado。 Su conciencia despertó。 También sus deseos de justicia。 Posiblemente allí nació el Charlie Parker al que todos acabarán admirando… y temiendo: el que mira de frente al mal y no duda en defender las causas perdidas。

Although nothing can match the impact of the earliest Charlie Parker books， this one is a worthwhile addition。 It takes us back in time to the period between the murder of Parker's wife and daughter， and his unmasking of that murderer。 In other words， it falls within the timespan covered by the first book， Every Dead Thing。 Parker is following leads concerning other brutal and ritualistic murders of young women and girls， a search that takes him to a small town in Arkansas， where three young bla Although nothing can match the impact of the earliest Charlie Parker books， this one is a worthwhile addition。 It takes us back in time to the period between the murder of Parker's wife and daughter， and his unmasking of that murderer。 In other words， it falls within the timespan covered by the first book， Every Dead Thing。 Parker is following leads concerning other brutal and ritualistic murders of young women and girls， a search that takes him to a small town in Arkansas， where three young black girls have been murdered and their bodies mutilated。 While parts of the scenario - including the ruling family with sordid secrets to hide - are familiar， or even routine aspects of many of his books， his writing is superb as always， and he builds characters well。 And the outcome certainly surprised me。 。。。more

I have heard lots of wonderful things about John Connolly's Charlie Parker series， and I love good crime fiction。 Since this is a prequel even though it is the 18th in the series I have been told it would be a good place to start。I was so disappointed。 I had read he had even inspired some of my more favorite authors。 I found his writing very uninspiring - his turns of phrase not very clever and a fairly stereotypical small Arkansas town with Meth dealers and people who viciously murder and rape I have heard lots of wonderful things about John Connolly's Charlie Parker series， and I love good crime fiction。 Since this is a prequel even though it is the 18th in the series I have been told it would be a good place to start。I was so disappointed。 I had read he had even inspired some of my more favorite authors。 I found his writing very uninspiring - his turns of phrase not very clever and a fairly stereotypical small Arkansas town with Meth dealers and people who viciously murder and rape young Black girls。 Ick。 It felt very repetitive and drawn out - not terribly interesting。 Charlie Parker is the ony interesting character in the entire book so I might be tempted to read another book in the series， but I didn't really enjoy Connolly's writing style so maybe not when there is so much really great crime fiction out there。 。。。more

The 18th in the Charlie Parker takes the reader back to the very beginning of Parker's quest to find the person who has murdered his wife and child-- a prequel of sorts。 Stopping in Arkansas because of similar murders there， Parker joins local law enforcement in the hunt to stop the murderer。 Racism， classism， and poverty all play a role。 As in all of the Parker books， the murders are important， but the real interest is in the battle of good versus evil; corruption versus honor。 The secondary ch The 18th in the Charlie Parker takes the reader back to the very beginning of Parker's quest to find the person who has murdered his wife and child-- a prequel of sorts。 Stopping in Arkansas because of similar murders there， Parker joins local law enforcement in the hunt to stop the murderer。 Racism， classism， and poverty all play a role。 As in all of the Parker books， the murders are important， but the real interest is in the battle of good versus evil; corruption versus honor。 The secondary characters present throughout the series all make their debut appearances adding color to the story。A brilliant way to invite new readers into such a long running and perennially popular series。 Recommended for fans of Stuart MacBride and John Hart。 。。。more

Damn this is good。 All Parker， minimal Angel and Louis， a terrific read。 I imagine that John had a ball getting names together for all the characters in Cargill。 Far more bad people than good people， money the influencer。 This our town， not yours。

Parker continues to be one of the greatsThis was a great trip to Parker’s early days。 Solid book in the series， which I greatly enjoyed。 A recommended read。

Too many characters were unrealized stereotypes。 The major crime was horrendous， and the background for it was never satisfactorily dealt with。
Craig Johnson

Great plot twists and interesting characters。 Draws on a wide ranging vocabulary to forge just the right edge in his writing。 This is the top end of mystery crime fiction。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Unabridged AudiobookI have to say that I am a huge fan of the Charlie Parker series。 When I started this one， I knew that this occurred after his family had been murdered but before the events in the first book。 That being said， this read similar to his first novel。 The characters seemed a little rushed， the storyline was a little confusing， the bad guy seemed like he picked his name out of a hat， the ending was a nice wrap up but seemed like an after thought。 I've seen a few Charlie Parker fans Unabridged AudiobookI have to say that I am a huge fan of the Charlie Parker series。 When I started this one， I knew that this occurred after his family had been murdered but before the events in the first book。 That being said， this read similar to his first novel。 The characters seemed a little rushed， the storyline was a little confusing， the bad guy seemed like he picked his name out of a hat， the ending was a nice wrap up but seemed like an after thought。 I've seen a few Charlie Parker fans rate this one pretty low in the series and I understand why。 I loved that Angel and Louis were there and I loved that a few of the characters got a nice happy ending， but overall this seemed like a book that was thrown together because the author got bored with the Charlie Parker series as a whole but was getting demand for another book。 I'm hoping the next one is a little better。 。。。more

I didn't want it to end。I love the Charlie Parker series and this was a good one。 The kind of book that makes you wish the world could be put on pause so you can read more， but that you also don't want to finish。 I was happy that I had smehow overlooked this one when it was published and only became aware of it after buying the next in the series， so I can begin that immediately。 I didn't want it to end。I love the Charlie Parker series and this was a good one。 The kind of book that makes you wish the world could be put on pause so you can read more， but that you also don't want to finish。 I was happy that I had smehow overlooked this one when it was published and only became aware of it after buying the next in the series， so I can begin that immediately。 。。。more

The Dirty South is so enthralling with many cliff hangers and punchy short chapters that make it so hard to put it down。 The characters are well developed and their stories are intertwining in mysterious and gripping ways。 There is also a slightly sinister and spooky element to the book with Parker’s visions of his dead wife and daughter which I think add a god thriller element to the book。 There wasn’t anything I didn’t enjoy about this book。 It kept me wanting to read on at every turn， and the The Dirty South is so enthralling with many cliff hangers and punchy short chapters that make it so hard to put it down。 The characters are well developed and their stories are intertwining in mysterious and gripping ways。 There is also a slightly sinister and spooky element to the book with Parker’s visions of his dead wife and daughter which I think add a god thriller element to the book。 There wasn’t anything I didn’t enjoy about this book。 It kept me wanting to read on at every turn， and the plot wasn’t predictable or too outlandish and kept a really good plot and pace throughout。As this is the first in the Charlie Parker series that I have read I'm excited to get going with the rest of the books and see what other cases there are yet to explore。 。。。more

John Connolly consistently delivers in the Charlie Parker series。 This is the eighteenth book， and I remain as riveted as ever。This novel felt weirdly nostalgic， as it's a new book in the series， but it's set after the events of the first book featuring Parker， Every Dead Thing。 I haven't been with a Charlie Parker this young in many years， and it made my heart ache to feel the sadness and wrath of the Bird of years ago。 Not that he's any less sad or rageful now， but time has dulled its immediac John Connolly consistently delivers in the Charlie Parker series。 This is the eighteenth book， and I remain as riveted as ever。This novel felt weirdly nostalgic， as it's a new book in the series， but it's set after the events of the first book featuring Parker， Every Dead Thing。 I haven't been with a Charlie Parker this young in many years， and it made my heart ache to feel the sadness and wrath of the Bird of years ago。 Not that he's any less sad or rageful now， but time has dulled its immediacy， as it does with all things。 This book differed from the others in the Parker series in that it didn't have a direct supernatural element， but felt a bit more like a standard procedural， which was interesting， because the tone was still distinctly Parker's honeycomb world。I've never disliked a Charlie Parker novel， and this was no exception。 I know every time I set out to read a Parker story， I'll be met with heartache， and grit， and strangeness， and characters that I love with all my heart。 Savoring time before the next one， because I love the anticipation before beginning the next installment。 。。。more

Very difficult readingConnolly would make William Safire smile with the overuse of words that only a college sophomore would use when trying to impress a young girl。 You don't need to show off your vocabulary Mr。 Connolly。。。。。。just tell a good story。 Too bad your ego gets in the way of your storytelling。 Very difficult readingConnolly would make William Safire smile with the overuse of words that only a college sophomore would use when trying to impress a young girl。 You don't need to show off your vocabulary Mr。 Connolly。。。。。。just tell a good story。 Too bad your ego gets in the way of your storytelling。 。。。more

Another home run for Connolly。 He creates real， living characters that stay with you for the long haul。 A brilliant book。

Who was and is Parker…it answered many questions since this was the first of the many books written about him by ConnollyI gave this book 4 stars not as much for the interesting plot but for the authors excellent use of vocabulary…at times needing a dictionary to refresh my memory on a word and it’s use。 I will seek future Parker mysteries

I have read every book in the series up to this one， but was a little disappointed with the previous episode， #17， A Book of Bones。 I felt that the author was becoming over fond of killing off people in overly sadistic ways and had also lost sight of his own main characters’ plot lines。 In this book， yet again， there were too many names for me to follow， but that might be due to my own issues from my stroke。That being said， this was a much more satisfying book for me。 I feel that Connolly has fo I have read every book in the series up to this one， but was a little disappointed with the previous episode， #17， A Book of Bones。 I felt that the author was becoming over fond of killing off people in overly sadistic ways and had also lost sight of his own main characters’ plot lines。 In this book， yet again， there were too many names for me to follow， but that might be due to my own issues from my stroke。That being said， this was a much more satisfying book for me。 I feel that Connolly has found his mojo again and I enjoyed this journey back to an earlier stage in Charlie Parker’s story。 I already have the following book queued up and will be interested to see how that fits into the series。All in all， this was a very good read。 As well as enjoying the interesting and absorbing plot， I loved the author’s beautiful use of language。 I even looked up and learned a few new words！ 。。。more
