still love it

I read this book many years ago and was hooked even more with this second book.
Charlie bird Parker, Louie, and angel are fabulous characters.

Great story telling

I enjoyed this book and thought that the story was great. The narration too was very good, although I felt during the first 3 quarters of the book the narrator's "normal" story telling voice was a bit monotone and lacked feeling. This changed later as he seemed to get more into the story himself. However, throughout the book his voices and accents were excellent, especially those of Angel and Louis.

Old Fashioned Crime Story

This was an easy listen. I didn't know the back story if there was a book before although was easy to pick up the background. The book felt a little old fashioned - tough cop pushes the baddies and it backfires against his family then he goes off the rails and has to leave the force so becomes a private eye. This is one of those books where the good guy gets hurt but never enough to kill or seriously mame him. A collection of 'odd' friends and weird bad guys all come together for a 'chase' type story to save the girl. So throw logic out the window and read this like an old Mike Hammer novel in the modern day.

Beautifully crafted suspense mingled with poetry

Would you listen to Dark Hollow again? Why?

For the complexity of the story, which is multi-layered, for the superb reading by Jeff Harding who brings such colour to each scene and every personality.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dark Hollow?

From the beginning to the last word.

Have you listened to any of Jeff Harding’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Jeff Harding is the master of readers...incomparable delivery. I often choose a book because I know the quality of his delivery.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

For adults with poetry and danger in their souls.

Dark Hollow

Charlie Parker takes on a case which on the surface looks open and shut...of course it isn't . Angel and Lou make an appearance and the story moves along at a fair pace. Has some scenes of torture and gore but nor enough to detract from the story.

Well narrated :)

Bordering on Supernatural

Loved the story and also a bit creepy in parts the narration was exceptional only problem I do have is the way the author describes the fauna in detail the way the blades of grass sway the roughness of the tree bark and also a running commentary on driving from one town to the next too much information especially when you are not American. I think it might be better if one read the book instead of listening then you could more or less knock a third of the book just a thought.

gripping

I love John Connolly...brilliantly dark. The mix of horror, suspense and supernatural is so tense!!

Great tale

This a really good story which had me hooked all the way to the end. The narrator did a good job and although he only used two voices I thought it was well done. Would definitely listen to more by this author.
