I have loved most of Connolly’s books – even with some clever cultish nonsense – have read them all – rated only one less than “Very Good”. But in this book, Connolly went off the tracks with a radical left turn – don’t let any of these five star reviewers tell you differently. Haters of the right will love it – no question. And to my great surprise that appears to include Connolly. Maybe he just hates Republicans, or Trump, but if he thinks he can mix political hate talk into a book that we bought for entertainment, he is just wrong.

By making one of his despicable wild characters a Confederate flag lover, he somehow manages to depict persons who believe in the First Amendment, or are Anglo Saxons, or believe in their country (America) as Nazi equivalents. That persons who consider themselves “Patriots” (count me in…I fly a flag…still have my dog tags…believe in my country) are equivalent to the Nazis, bombers of Pearl Harbor, Serb murderers and rapists…conversation with Connolly’s hero lead: “Patriots built Auschwitz”

The Woman in the Woods series Charlie Parker

I’ve raved enough about John Connolly over the years that you should know how I feel about him: that his writing is stunning and poetic; that his horrors are unmatched, unsettling, and terrifying; that his plotting is strong, but his characters are even better; that, in short, he’s one of the best writers working today in the thriller OR horror genres, and that you should be reading him. So is it any surprise that I loved the latest entry in the Charlie Parker series, The Woman in the Woods? No, it’s not. But the fact that it’s one of the best in the series – if not the best – is no small thing. How many series continue to get better and better as they go? How many series keep improving and topping themselves? How many times can you say that the 16th entry in a series is its best? And yet, here we are.

The plot, as usual, is deceptively simple-sounding: a long-buried woman’s corpse is discovered in the woods, and Parker is asked to help discover her identity and see to it that she’s laid to rest. More importantly, though, he’s asked to discover what became of her child, because it’s evident that this woman gave birth not long before she died. But Parker is not the only person on this trail, and the other party is leaving a trail of butchered dead in its wake as it hunts down the lead.

The Woman in the Woods does more with the overarching Parker mythology than most, making it a hard book to recommend to non-fans. Indeed, from conversations about The Backers to the health status of Angel, from references to the list of names from The Wrath of Angels to the ongoing questions about Parker’s daughter, The Woman in the Woods is partially about the way in which Parker’s story is continuing in the background, without his knowledge. (What’s more, The Woman in the Woods has heavy, heavy connections to The Fractured Atlas, a knockout horror novella from Connolly’s previous short story collection,  Night Music: Nocturnes Volume 2 ; it should almost be required reading for those interested in The Woman in the Woods.)

But even if you didn’t know about Parker’s ongoing saga, The Woman in the Woods delivers everything I love about John Connolly and then some. Are there vague, supernatural horrors that constantly lurk just beyond the edges of the page, suggesting more than is ever confirmed? Is there beautiful, poetic prose that muses on the nature of reality and morality without ever becoming pretentious? Is there the effortless blending of comedic beats and very funny dialogue with the dark tone of Parker’s universe? Is there an unflinching look at the darkness and violent inherent to humanity, and the constant grappling with the question of how we can fight such evil? Is there’s compelling, effective plotting that unfolds carefully and inexorably? There’s all of that and more.

(There is also the ongoing story of Louis’s attack upon a truck emblazoned with the Confederate flag, a story that seems to upset people as “political” as opposed to “justified” and “funny,” which I found it. Also, any suggestion that this felt forced doesn’t consider what it might be like to be a violent, dangerous black man who has been oppressed and dealt with hatred throughout his life who finds a chance to send a message. Nor does it consider that perhaps racism and hatred shouldn’t be viewed as “political” so much as “intolerable,” but hey, you view the world as you want. For me, the fact that an Irish writer gets to the dark heart of American culture and hatred so much better than most Americans says far more about us than it does the author.)

Look: by now, it shouldn’t be a surprise that I loved a John Connolly book. It’s beautifully crafted, it’s surprisingly funny, it’s genuinely terrifying, it’s unputdownable, it’s richly detailed and fleshed out. Its characters are brilliant and complex, its plotting satisfying, its mythology rich, its world unnerving and yet instantly recognizable. It’s another brilliant entry in the best thriller series in existence, and you should be reading it.

Audiobook The Woman in the Woods by John Connolly

The Charlie Parker series should be recognized as time defying fiction in the same class as Lord of the Rings and John Connoly should be named in the same breath as Joseph Conrad or Trollope. I am have run out of accolades for this writer. He is simply the best.

Review #4

Audio The Woman in the Woods narrated by Jeff Harding

I have all 16 Charlie Parker novels in hardback, and I’d rate each of the first 15 books at 5 stars. This one, not so much. Connolly’s writing style is as beautiful as ever, but I never became engaged in the story as in the past. The villainous characters struck me as being reworked from those of previous stories, and the book generally meandered without advancing the overarching storyline very much.

My biggest disappointment was Connolly’s injection of his political views into the narrative, often not even attempting to couch them in character dialogue. This was a jarring change and totally broke the immersion factor for me. And after years of empathizing with his flawed yet ethical characters, I found it absurd to have Louis blow up a complete stranger’s vehicle just because it had a Confederate flag sticker on it. As the book progressed it became clear that Billy Ocean was himself a deeper character facing his own struggles, and he struck me as being an unwitting victim of violence without any justification.

I won’t be pre-ordering the next Charlie Parker novel but will instead check reviews first to see if this is the direction the series is taking.

Far too rushed in its delivery of so many new threads in the Charlie Parker tapestry. Hastily presented and under-developed characters jumbled in with references to the regular cast that were seemingly included to reassure dedicated followers that they hadn’t wandered into the bizarro bookstore to make their purchase. Far too many social and political lessons scattered throughout…I can get that content from news outlets and podcasts. I read fiction for escape and enjoyment I certainly didn’t enjoy being lectured outright by “Parker” on every hot button topic from abuse through xenophobia. I much preferred his earlier subtle delivery of his social didacticism. I’ll read the sample of his next Parker work rather than preorder.
