John Connolly is, without any doubt, one of the best living writers. I find it annoying that on the blurbs on the book, people who should know better, call his novels thrillers. They are definitely not thrillers. It is very difficult to place books in Charlie Parker series in any of the easily available genre, supernatural crime novels is probably the closest to the mark. This 13th book in this astounding series, is again deeply touching and compelling. Life and death, faith and skepticism, wit and philosophy and many other components effortlessly mashed together in another breathtaking novel, that stays with reader for months to come. One of my all time favorite series.

A Song of Shadows series Charlie Parker

I gave this Five Stars because there aren’t any more. This is better than five stars.
38. The Song of Shadows by John Connolly – November 2016 – 5 Strong Stars –

The quality of John Connolly’s writing is never in question. He is an artist and a very good technician. His theme has remained Dark Angels and the Evil that exists in the world. He is always much more connected to that struggle with evil and the huge effort and ugliness of the the effort to survive the constant attacks we all feel and fear. He deals with the fear very chillingly. His protagonist has paid as high a price for his continued life possible. He continues to dedicate all his time and energy to the struggle for himself and those around him. When he sees something wrong he takes it very seriously, more so that those around him. His friends Angel and Louis are outsiders as in Charlie Parker himself. Their outside-ness may be what gives them the strength to fight what is really a supernatural force so effectively. Parker and friends operate just on the edge of the law or outside it, but law enforcement is portrayed as supporting them by ignoring them. Law enforcement is shown to be constrained unreasonable to deal with the obvious evil they encounter. The odds always seem stacked in the favor of darkness. The over arching theme of the struggle against the dark evil of this world is filled out with stories that include specific facets of that evil. This one deals with the horror of the Nazi war that continues through the hunt for survivors of the enemy we think we have defeated. It also deals with family, love and hope but in an almost hopeless way. I asked Mr. Connolly once how he got so dark, he is the only truly dark U.S. writer I know currently working, and his answer was “I’m Catholic?” This entire series should be read from the beginning but each book is a masterpiece.

Audiobook A Song of Shadows by John Connolly

John Connolly is one of my favorite authors and he has knocked it out of the park again with A Song of Shadows. While Charlie Parker is recovering from the injuries he received in the prior novel he becomes embroiled in a murder mystery involving former Nazi concentration camp war criminals still at large in the US. These people, men and women, are living in Maine and in 50+ years have totally assimilated. When a Nazi hunter is brutally murdered near the German/American community where they live and where coincidentally, Charlie Parker is recuperating, the real story begins to unfold. It is a brutal story filled with deception, double cross, multiple murders, sadism, torture and bizarre villains. Parker in his usual way will not be deterred from getting to the bottom of the case which leads to some very interesting and exciting plot twists. Charlie’s sidekicks, Louis, Angel and the Fulci brothers, are there as well, helping out in their own special ways. We learn more about Charlie’s dead daughter, Jennifer, and his living daughter Samantha, both of whom play an important role. And, as always, there is a touch of the paranormal. I look forward to making the leap of faith required when reading these stories. It might put some readers off, but not me. This is a thoroughly enjoyable thriller/murder mystery with a touch of fantasy. I highly recommend it.

Audio A Song of Shadows narrated by Jeff Harding

John Connolly is one of the elite story tellers and thriller writers in literature today. His work with the Charlie Parker novels reflects great plotting, deep intense characterizations, flawed heroes, psychological entanglements and moral complexities, and often, a tasting of the paranormal, if not, supernatural. Connolly is much more than a pulp writer hurrying to produce several novels every year. Instead, he is a master wordsmith, an intelligent manipulator of prose and language designed to affect the reader’s sensitivities both in context and in presentation; indeed, I often find myself rereading a paragraph or a description of a place or person that is so lyrical as to demand a second reading. Connolly is a master at creating a sense of forboding or a palpable feel of evil with only a few well chosen words. He is a master at creating forbidding locations and evil incarnate. His dialogue is usually spot-on and often times humorous, especially when Charlie Parker, Angel, and Louis are interacting and one-upping. Connolly’s plots within the Charlie Parker series are tightly woven and filled with enough characters and red herrings to keep most diehard readers guessing until the end.

In “A Song Of Shadows”, Connolly develops a plot contrasting a battle between good and evil that has its roots in the Nazi concentration camps of WWII. Parker is slowly recovering from his near fatal wounds from “The Wolf In Winter” in the small town of Boreas, Maine when he meets an enigmatic woman named Ruth Winter and her young daughter, Amanda. Soon he is consulting on a case of a body that has washed up on a nearby beach and is equally intrigued by a family massacre, and a missing suspected killer–all of which may be interrelated and which leads inevitably into a morass of evil that began with a hideous plot of murder and thievery in a specialized Nazi concentration camp called Lubsko.

Who among the inhabitants of small town Boreas is actually somehow related to the horrors of Nazi concentration camps and who protects them? What other evils from Parker’s past are active in Boreas? Can the veteran Nazi hunters truly be trusted? Parker, with the help of Angel, Louis, and other old allies including, surprisingly, his young daughter, Sam, begin linking recent events to past atrocities leading to an attempt to assassinate Parker. Now in a race against the clock, with his life in jeopardy and confronting the ire of local police, Parker methodically seeks the answers that will lead to the closure of all the loose ends surrounding the deaths in Boreas.

It is to Connolly’s credit that the Charlie Parker tales, while often tinged with touches of the supernatural, are still enjoyable for the character development, suspense and thrills, and ultimately, for the ongoing struggle of good versus evil. I unequivocally recommend this entire series to anyone who enjoys suspense thrillers with a touch of the paranormal/supernatural.

This is the second time around with the series and it’s just getting better and better with the re-reading.
“A Song Of Shadows” sees Parker rehabilitating from the injuries he received at the end of ” The Wolf In Winter”. Injuries so debilitating that his recovery is in doubt, not only physically but also mentally. Once again though, the tragedy of others draws him back into battle.
I agree with some reviewers that the story is probably not the best of the series, however, I think it is the most important one so far. It is almost as though Parker is undergoing metamorphosis into something that was hinted at in both “The Black Angel” and “The Lovers” and that this book is the link from one state of being into another. The ending of the the book with the conversations between Ross and Epstein and between Parker and his daughter Sam seem to confirm the developments to come.
An absolute triumph of story telling.
