Summary
'A moving entry in a remarkable series' Irish Times
A Child Missing. A Mother Accused. Charlie Parker Is Their Only Hope.
In Maine, Colleen Clark stands accused of the worst crime a mother can commit: the abduction and possible murder of her child. Everyone - ambitious politicians in an election season, hardened police, ordinary folk - has an opinion on the case, and most believe she is guilty.
But most is not all. Defending Colleen is the lawyer Moxie Castin, and working alongside him is the private investigator Charlie Parker, who senses the tale has another twist, one involving a husband too eager to accept his wife's guilt, a disgraced psychic seeking redemption, and an old crooked house deep in the Maine woods, a house that should never have been built.
A house, and what dwells beneath.
'Dark and dangerous ... but where there is also kindness, loyalty, love. Ultimately, it's a story of hope' IRISH EXAMINER

Unputdownable!
Connolly at his best.
A masterfully put together detective story with undertones of supernatural menace.
Superb narration from a talented story teller. He truly captures and exudes the essence of Parker.
I cannot wait for the next installment.

Another brilliant story in the series. I love many of the characters, but Angel and Louis are my favourite and I was glad they were back. I highly recommend!

Great novel
Great story, beautifully written, most compelling. Will purchase more John Connolly Charlie Parker audiobooks, even ones I’ve previously read in paperback.

Another great addition to the series
Enjoyed this latest Charlie Parker offering! It kept me up until it was finished! Now comes the wait for the next one😔. Only thing I missed was Jennifer and Sam! But other than that, love it

Parker-Ok not great by Connolly standards
Humour was there, laughed out loud sometimes, people thought I was nuts! The storyline was there but not as developed as previous books (and I have all the Parker books). It just felt ‘less’ than I had anticipated 😕.

Thanks Mr Connolly
The Charlie Parker series is my favourite story ever. The quality of John Connolly’s writing is so powerfully exhibited throughout and I have found that it’s developed substantially from the first of the novels to now. I’m excited to see what comes next for Parker & the gang, particularly the development of the dynamic of Samantha & Jennifer. His character development is second to none in my opinion, and his ability to inject humour has seen me both laughing and crying at the same time throughout the series. Jeff Harding is brilliant in his performance and I truly hope he continues to be the voice of the Parker series in future. This novel was great, if I had to criticise anything it would be lack of conclusion on the dynamic or lack thereof between Parker & Reggio but I assume that we haven’t heard the last of that arc quite yet. The back story and over all arc of the characters within these novels is the reason I’ll return to reading them over and over again throughout my life. If you’ve not given the Parker series a go, I implore you to do so.
