I think I've read five of the Charlie Parker books and enjoyed them all.
They do tend to the macabre and you certainly wouldn't read one to cheer
yourself up. I love the larger-than-life characters but feel that sometimes
the narrative goes over the top rather - it is often a case of why have one
body when you can have half-a-dozen.

Before settling on theMcewan, I had tried starting a number of other books.
One of these was the recently uploaded Mark billingham but I found its tone
and style rather banal. In the end, looking for something reliable I went
for book 4 in John connolly's Charlie Parker series. These are well written
and popuylated with interesting characters, often damaged like Parker
himself. they also mix rye humour with the macabre. I've done 90 pages of
this one and am enjoying it very much. Then waiting in the wings is Year Of
wonders, a book which draws my interest.
