I can’t tell you the year I became addicted to JC’s books, but I can tell you the first Charlie Parker I ever read – The Killing Kind. I stumbled across a second hand copy at a bookstore that no longer exists. I bought the book on a whim, and read it in one sitting. The very next day I bought his first and second novels as a 2 for one special, again, read in a single sitting each. This was how I became immersed in the honeycomb world of Charlie, Angel and Louis. Getting JC’s books used to be difficult to get my hands one as there was always a long wait for the book to hit the shelves in my country. Then I bought a Kindle and all of that changed. But I digress.

Every year round about April, a new Charlie Parker arrives. I take a deep breath and as I join the guys in the car and we take a detour off the dark highway and we hunt some new dark depraved creature or group of creatures. Each book JC writes lets you look deeper into the abyss as fragments of the larger story are introduced, just enough to keep you on the hook for the next book, but not so that it distracts you from the current story. Words can’t do justice to the elation I feel as I crack open another JC and dive into it.

It isn’t often that I read something that gives me chills, then laugh until I cry – I’m referring specifically to the scene when the 3 guys visit Mother and one of them ends up wearing a cookie after trying unsuccessfully to eat it as it disintegrates in his hands. Such is the skill of the author as he leads you into the honeycomb world. This book also brought me closer to the main characters in a way that a lot of authors don’t seem able to do. And as usual his research is impeccable.

A Game of Ghosts series Charlie Parker

There are basically two ways to review A Game of Ghosts: one is by comparing it to just about any other thriller out there, and the other is by comparing it to the rest of the Charlie Parker series. On the former scale, as usual, John Connolly reminds you that he’s one of the greatest thriller writers working today, and blows just about any of the others out of the water; on the latter, it’s a solid, engaging entry, but not among the best of the series.

As usual for the Parker series, A Game of Ghosts blurs the lines between the crime genre and supernatural horror; while the book opens with Charlie Parker being tasked with tracking down a missing private detective, it doesn’t take long before the story spirals outward into a malevolent cult whose female members are in touch with vicious, dangerous spirits. And, as usual, Connolly doesn’t just deliver gripping action set pieces and a complicated crime saga; he’s also genuinely terrifying throughout, giving even the hardiest readers chills and unease as he plunges deeply into what he’s called “the honeycomb world”. As for the question as to whether his supernatural entities or his villains are more evil and horrifying…well, that’s up for debate.

A Game of Ghosts is the 15th novel in the Parker series, and it’s not an ideal spot for new readers to come in, even though the plot is entirely self-contained. But the best parts of A Game of Ghosts come as Connolly adds to the complex ongoing mythology of his world, whether it’s the increasingly odd aspects of Parker’s daughter Sam, his tenuous and uneasy relationship with federal authorities, or some unexpected developments with regard to that strange, tobacco-stained figure only known as The Collector. Even better, though, are the character beats; while the ongoing saga draws me in, the horror unsettles me, and the writing moves me, it’s the characters that I love, and that wonderful trio of Parker and his friends Angel and Louis continue to bring out life and friendship in wonderfully strange, dark ways.

For all of that, though, A Game of Ghosts often feels like Parker barely needs to be in the book; indeed, near the end of the book, Parker makes the comment that he feels like he’s constantly playing catch up with everything that’s going on. It reminds me of the earlier entry in the series The Whisperers, which again felt as though Parker was merely an observer – or maybe “witness” is a better word. Much happens here, and there’s little denying that Parker is a central part of it all, but it almost feels as though he’s reduced to a passive role in the novel rather than driving the story along. That this is perhaps intended by Connolly (and, given that Parker frequently comments that he feels that much is being kept from him in all of this, it seems likely) doesn’t quite stop it from being a bit frustrating.

Even so, A Game of Ghosts is a Charlie Parker book by John Connolly. And what that means is that it will be riveting, darkly funny when you least expect, intense, morally complex, terrifying, and disturbing – often all at the same time. And while all of that is happening, you’re also getting beautiful writing, complex characterization, and fantastic plotting. In short, it’s another brilliant read by one of the best authors that a lot of people aren’t reading. And if it’s not quite my favorite in the series, that’s okay; I’d still read even the weakest Parker book multiple times, and hold it up as a knockout.

Audiobook A Game of Ghosts by John Connolly

I discovered John Connolly’s books later than many. It was mostly due to my distrust of so-called bestsellers and page turners. When I finally read the first one “Every Dead Thing”, I was hooked. It is very hard to find an author who pens a long series, publishing a new book almost every year and manages to keep such a high level of quality. The only other author I can think of is magnificent Elizabeth George. So, this 15th novel in this priceless series is as good all the previous ones. This world of ghosts, both living and dead, spirits, goblins, demons, written with a marvelous mix of poetry and humor, transcends the limitations of popular, escapist fiction and embeds itself in our memory and intimate thoughts. Another winner.

Audio A Game of Ghosts narrated by Jeff Harding

Love Connelly’s works and have read everyone of them–some twice–but have to admit this is my least favorite. His books alway seem to have many players but this one almost overwhelmed me with so many different players at different levels. I don’t want to say too much because he is one of three favorite writers (M. Connolly and James Ellroy being the other two and maybe it just me have to constantly refer back to keep characters straight and follow storylines. I am highly anticipating next one with the prospect of getting more into his close psychic relation with daughter. Hope to see full return to next book the author admits in end page that he was highly influenced by English ghost stories–but next book promises return to hisrelationship with new & deceased daughters. Would have liked more of Angel & Louis too and will miss another recurring character who won’t be with us in future (or maybe he will–that Connally’s world. Not the book to start reading the series.

This is the 15th Charlie Parker thriller and the books get better each time. I’ve been a rabid fan of Parker’s strange cases since the first book, Every Dead Thing which means I have been reading the author for more than 15 years. That gave me quite a chill. Anyway, I thought A Game of Ghosts was amazing. This book deals with a lot of repercussions of the novel, A Time of Torment especially in relation to Parker’s relationship with his daughter Sam and his already tenebrous relationship with his ex, Rachel. I look forward to seeing where this will lead but something tells me it’s not going to be good. This was quite a dark book. I’ve noticed the books have gotten darker since Parker almost died in The Wolf in winter. I wonder where this will lead. Parker is getting old. Angel is one of my favourite characters and his health is starting to ail. What is the exact nature of Sam’s gift? Who or what is the Dead King? Will he rise? What will the consequences be? I sense the end coming for Charlie Parker and I expect it to be nothing short of spectacular. I thought A Game of Ghosts was amazing and would highly recommend it.
