A very interesting private detective story, with supernatural elements woven throughout. My only problem was that I could tell right away who the final villain would be.
Charlie Parker is an unusual private detective with a heartbreaking backstory. His wife and child were tortured to death by a sadistic serial killer in the first book of this series, and Charlie is literally haunted by their ghosts.
In this book he is hired by a woman who is being stalked by a stranger. There are numerous twists and turns, a high body count, and we are introduced to the Collector, a strange and enigmatic killer. (At least, I was introduced to him. I believe there is a story that features him in Nocturnes, which I have not yet read.)
Results: a very literate and well-written thriller. My major complaint was that the identity of the final villain was glaringly obvious.

The Unquiet series Charlie Parker

In The Unquiet, private detective Charlie Parker is retained by Rebecca Clay to scare off a mysterious stalker asking questions about the whereabouts of Rebecca’s father, Daniel Clay, who disappeared in disgrace after a child sex abuse scandal some years earlier. Parker takes the job only to find himself immersed in a world of violence, deceit, and a conspiracy known as “The Project” that has been ongoing for decades. Parker’s own torment over the loss of his wife and daughter once again play a large role in the book, and there is a significant supernatural thread woven throughout. Connolly’s prose is, as always, mesmerizing, and lends itself well to audio — particularly as read by narrator George Guidall, who captures Parker’s melancholy and dry wit well.

Though the novel held my attention throughout and Connolly stands head and shoulders above most mystery/thriller writers out there today, there were definitely times when it felt as though the author had taken on a bit too much with this plot. The haunting story of Gilead, Maine, would have made for a compelling enough backdrop without bringing in supernatural shadow figures or, particularly, the Russian mob… Parker’s own tormented ruminations about his family combined with the inherent darkness of the plot itself make this a weighty read that ultimately isn’t my favorite in the series. All that said, however, Connolly remains a favorite author of mine, and a less-than-par novel by him is still, in this reviewer’s opinion, far superior to the majority of bestselling thrillers on the market today.

Audiobook The Unquiet by John Connolly

If you’ve never read a Charlie Parker novel, I urge you to quickly open up a search page for Amazon (or run to your fave bookstore, whichever is your preference) and begin reading. I read many books each year, but few stand out in my memory like the Parker novels.

That said, I must admit that the last one seemed a bit of departure to me, with its much broader scope and its heavy-duty philosophical and historical bent. I enjoyed it tremendously, but I enjoyed this one even more because it’s much more like the earlier ones I loved so much.

We begin this book with Parker separated from Rachel and Sam, a separation that seems to be inching towards permanence, and one that causes Parker great pain but about which he feels relatively powerless, I think. What separates him from Rachel is something that he can’t immediately control or maybe even fully understand because doing so would involve digging very deeply into his own psyche.

In this novel, Parker’s forced to confront that psyche, the way his own decisions have led to his isolation from some of the people he loves best, from sanity, even. The ghosts of his dead first wife and daughter continue to haunt him, but his understanding of that haunting changes. I won’t give away any major plot points here, but I will tell you that it’s good to see Parker becoming more self-aware, not just in the sense that he knows he’s flawed but in the sense that he has some control over how his experiences shape him and follow him into his future.

Angel and Louis show up, which is a good thing, as I like them both as characters. They’re funny even in their cold-blooded murderous moments. But they’re also human, and it’s good to see them covering Parker’s back as they always do.

The Collector returns, and I must admit to being enthralled by this character as well. He serves both as a catalyst for Parker’s increased self-awareness and for Parker’s self-doubts and even self-loathing. He also helps move the plot along in a logical and compelling way.

Other characters continue to guide the reader over complex psychological terrain. If you thought Louis and Angel were studies in contrasts and grey areas, wait until you encounter Merrick here. This man, a killer who carries with him the reek of the abattoir, has a moral code that makes it hard to consider him the bad guy that he is. So, too, the Collector. You want to run screaming in the opposite direction at the same time that you are thinking, “dammit, I kind of. . .GET where he’s coming from.”

The themes of child sexual abuse and adults’ inability to confront the damage they inflict on children in order to serve their own twisted agendas are as compelling as always, especially when Mr. Connolly weaves in history and the backgrounds of his characters to make more powerful and intriguing connections.

I’ve been told that consistently rating Mr. Connolly’s work with 5 stars may look as though I can’t rate very objectively, but here’s the thing: Mr. Connolly’s writing, in particular the Parker series, is some of the best I’ve ever read, and so far there’s been not one major misstep on the writer’s part. I continue to enjoy reading about Charlie, laughing at his wit, learning more about his circle of friends and defenders, and witnessing his struggle to achieve some lasting level of happiness. Perhaps it’s that last one most of all that always makes me wait with great anticipation for the next book in the series.

Audio The Unquiet narrated by Jeff Harding

Charlie Parker always seems to find the cases which turn out to haunt him even more – or is it that the cases find him? The Collector is back, his friends in low places, Louis and Angel are back and so are Charlie’s daemons.
Yet again John Connolly brings darkness and tragedy to the page. Hunting the killer of an abused young girl, CP almost bites off more than he can handle in the harrowing search for the men who systematically found their prey and carried out their gross acts of horror.
The book moves along with pace and, although Parker never fires a shot in anger, others do and the body count mounts. New readers may not appreciate how The Collector fits into Charlie’s life but this shouldn’t spoil the storyline. And perhaps, Charlie does, at last, discover and deal with his own problems. Maybe we’ll find out for sure in the next book.

If someone was going to read this book as their first, well, personally, I would recommend that you start with JC’s first book – Every Dead Thing as you will get a better understanding of Charlie Parker and about his good friends : Angel and Louis. From there onwards JC’s books just get better and better with some absolutely bizzare/evil characters and strong story lines.

The Unquiet, in my opinion, is a fantastic read, though the subject was rather ‘heavy – sexual abuse’ and the twist at the end was rather unexpected – well it was in my case! I do enjoy the witty/crazy dialogue between Angel/Louis and Charlie and just wish that Angel and Louis had a bigger role in the Charlie Parker series. I’m always waiting in anticipation for them to come into the story line. I don’t know about you guys, but I also have a massive grin on my face when I’m reading about the Fulci brothers and Jackie Garner – again I’m hoping that JC will give them a bigger input in the next books.
