The Killing Kind

A Charlie Parker Thriller

Troubled ex-cop turned private investigator Charlie Parker returns in the latest “compulsively readable” (Publishers Weekly) thriller from #1 internationally bestselling author John Connolly.

John Connolly takes battered ex-cop Charlie Parker on his third outing after Every Dead Thing and Dark Hollow. Still struggling with the horrific ghosts of his past, Parker is now a disillusioned private eye hired to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Grace Peltier—which neither her father nor a former US Senator believe was suicide. The trail leads to a mass grave in northern Maine where a Baptist community disappeared forty years earlier. The deaths of the Baptists and Grace are connected and point in the direction of a shadowy organization known as the Fellowship. With the assistance of some idiosyncratic and murderous acolytes, Parker soon confronts the Fellowship's demonic leader and finds himself caught in a situation more gruesome than even he could ever have imagined.

Great Book, Poor Narration

This is my favorite book series, and I love this story in particular. However, I can't stand the narration for this book. The attempts at different voices sound cheesy at best, and the mispronunciation of words (including Louis's name) is distracting.

Wrong, wrong, wrong narrator

This book was soooooo good, but the narrator was ALL WRONG. First of all, don't these narrators listen to each other? You can't go changing "Louie" to "Luis." And, this narrtor's voice is way too young for Charlie Parker. That being said, his voice for the spider guy was AMAZING - wow. Gave me chills every time that guy spoke.

Narrator issue

Imagine the teenage Peter Parker pretending to be Batman.

This was an embarrassing change of voice. All of the characters lost their integrity.

Hard to be the tough guy Charlie Parker when you are about 15 years old. It took all the grit out of the character. Even worse is that he sounded like a perv.

very good book

Really good book, my only problem with it is the guy that was reading didn't know how to pronounce things/places/names like Machias Maine he says it without the h and louis he uses the french pronunciation, also tarpaulin which is pronounced tar-pau-lin he pronounces tar-paul-in

Good story!

Good and interesting story. A little quirky but overall well performed. I would recommend it!
