The Unquiet

A Charlie Parker Mystery

De: John Connolly

Narrado por: George Guidall

John Connolly's originality and talent for storytelling have quickly made him one of today's preeminent thriller writers. Now, in The Unquiet, private detective Charlie Parker returns to untangle a horrifying story of betrayal, unclean desires, and murder - a story of never-ending evil whose conclusion is still unknown.

Daniel Clay, a once-respected psychiatrist, has gone missing. His daughter insists that he killed himself after allegations surfaced that he had betrayed his patients - but when a killer obsessed with uncovering the truth behind his own daughter's disappearance comes seeking revenge, long-forgotten secrets begin to emerge.

Hired by Dr. Clay's daughter to protect her from the predator on the loose, tortured and ingenious private detective Charlie Parker finds himself trapped between those who want the truth to be revealed and those who will go to any length to keep it hidden.

John Connolly masterfully intertwines secret lives and secret sins with the violence that so often lies beneath the surface of the honeycomb world in this gripping narrative. Fast-paced, hypnotic, and elegantly told, The Unquiet is John Connolly at his chilling best.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In the crowded fields of crime fiction, John Connolly has quickly and decisively established himself as a unique voice." (Michael Connelly)

"One of the best thriller writers we have." (Harlan Coben)

Charlie Parker Straddles Two Worlds

A great story about a knight errant whoops what's necessary to help those who need it. He is in the right and wrong business, not the legal/illegal business.

George Guidall is a premier storyteller!

The best narrator and a great story! The humor was timely and suspense was great! A fun listen!

It felt contrived

There were too many distractions for me. The storyline threw in too many elements that just didn't need to be there. The author could have spent more time developing the characters, less on the 'other-worldly' nonsense. The story, overall, was a mile wide and a millimeter deep.

Fantastic!

Another great Charlie Parker story. Complex and compelling. The plot keeps moving forward, but in the end all the strands draw together in a satisfying conclusion. Connelly’s writing is so good. The books are great individually, but the epic supernatural over story means that the grand elements of good and evil, the reappearance of grim characters, and Parker’s continuing interaction with the darkest events isn’t just treated like coincidence. He’s not Angela Landsbury living in a town where tons of people just happen to get murdered. There’s a design. There’s a bigger story going on. That’s what elevates these books beyond your run of the mill detective stories. And it’s great!

The BEST!!

One of the very BEST Charlie Parker written by John Connolly. Don’t miss it !!!!!!!...I’ve read listened and read them all.

Louie and Angel

As much as I enjoy Charlie, I simply love Louie and Angel.
Recant get enough.

Great THRILLER

If you want to hear a great thriller that will keep you guessing until the end, give this a listen. Also I love the voice of George Guidall.

Another winner although so distrurbing

I am totally hooked on the Charlie Parker series. It's a great story just hard to read about the abuse of children.

Good Read

Great characters. Captivating story. It has the Connolly creepiness that keeps you glued to the story.

Good, but . . .

What did you like best about The Unquiet? What did you like least?

I like all of Connolly's books. The least thing that I liked was the Narrator. To me, Bird is 40'ish and Mr. Guidall makes him sound like an elderly gentleman. Voice just does not go with my vision of Charlie Parker.

Would you recommend The Unquiet to your friends? Why or why not?

I would recommend to most friends. The friends who balk at graphic writing would need to pass on Connolly books in this series.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of George Guidall?

Someone with younger voice.
