Great news! The latest Charlie Parker mystery by John Connolly just arrived from Easons.
I've been looking forward to this since... well, since the last page of the previous one.
Have a hectic weekend ahead, so may not get a chance to start it until next week. But who knows? Maybe I'll carve out some time.

New John Connolly novel (in the Charlie Parker Private Investigator series) coming very soon.

I finished John Connolly's 'The Instruments of Darkness' last night. Or rather, "this morning".
I got to the point where there wasn't enough left to leave it another day, but a bit too much to finish by a sensible hour.
So I ended up completing it just after 4am. Kind of fecked up Friday a bit. But it was worth it. A fantastic book and a worthy addition of one of the best mystery book series of all time.
Recommended.

When my Dad died a couple of years ago he was halfway through John Connolly's "The Furies". Connolly was one of his favourite writers, which is odd as Dad was usually more of a chunky historical fiction reader. Conn Iggulden, Bernard Cornwell, that kind of thing.

That said, as my wife points out, she was born and raised in Yugoslavia (and still possesses her socialist idealism despite acknowledging the serious shortcomings of that regime)And when she left home, it was called Serbia & Montenegro. So technically, she's never lived in a country called Serbia.
But she's still pained by the crude stereotype we've allowed develop in western fiction. I'd like to think John Connolly might be more nuanced than others. We shall see...

These writers should meet my wife, her family and friends, or any of the Serbian people who paid heavily for their opposition to Milosevic's ultra-nationalist agenda.People who took to the streets and marched in protest against a dictator whose secret police were kicking down doors and dragging people off to deep, dark places.
I've been involved in direct action politics, but in truth, never to the point of putting my life on the line.

Feeling a bit of trepidation about starting the next John Connolly Charlie Parker mystery, The Nameless Ones.According to the dust-jacket, this book sees our protagonist hunting five Serbian men. You guessed it, "war criminals". Gangsters.
According to western fiction, if you're Serbian, you must be a war criminal. Or at the very least a violent gangster. That's the only way Serbs can be portrayed these days.

Just started John Connolly's third Charlie Parker novel. Only 10 pages in, but as a mild arachnophobe I get the feeling this may be a tough read.

Uwielbiam te polowania w sieci na stare książki 😌📚
Niestety w bibliotece nie było, więc jedyna opcja to #OLX.
