I love John Connolly's work, especially his Charlie Parker detective series. The books R captivating & unsettling, keeping U reading to the end. The stories R often intense & disturbing, but well-written. The characters are so vivid that they linger long after U finish the book 📚 #Booksky #Pagansky
