This the first Charlie Parker book I’ve read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It kept my interest from start to finish. I liked the protagonist, he was a little different from many others, not a raging super hero, not a miracle worker but a human, focused on the crimes and his reasons for staying in the town. The book kept me guessing until the very last page, I never would have expected the ending it had.
Kindle Customer Cindy Lou You Know Who
I did not know that this was the 18th Charlie Parker novel. A more complicated murder mystery I have never read. I had a hard time putting it down. What a story!
I love this series - this is the 18th entry - but it's not just because the stories are exciting or that series headliner, former NYPD Detective Charlie Parker, is such an intriguing character. It's also because the author's writing is both eloquent and elegant and an all-around joy to read. That does, I admit, make for one issue; the books are impossible to skim through and finish in my usual couple of days. Simply put, there's just too much to be missed by doing that. This one takes a different approach; it begins with Charlie getting a phone call out of the blue from someone in his decades-ago past - one he wasn't expecting to hear from ever again. At that point - without identifying the caller - the story shifts to that long-ago time when an in-his-30s Charlie quit his job and set off to find the man who slaughtered his wife and young daughter. One of his stops is in a backwoods Arkansas town that eschews outsiders; when Charlie makes a couple of inquiries that rouse suspicions of local law enforcement, they throw him in jail until, hopefully, he'll explain who he really is and why he was nosing around. But then, a young girl turns up murdered - not that long after another girl was found murdered in similar fashion. Town and county officials - including a powerful family - managed to keep the first incident quiet in the fear that an outside developer with big plans for community investment might get skittish enough to take their money elsewhere. Coming so soon after the other murder, though, the most recent case makes a cover-up more difficult, and a couple of locals who were not happy about the way the first murder was handled (or, more accurately, mishandled) are dead set on solving this one no matter where or on whom the chips may fall. When Charlie's identity and background becomes known, the local police chief not only springs him from jail but decides - reluctantly - to enlist his help. While Charlie is eager to move on, he - also reluctantly - agrees to stick around for a bit. That puts him at direct odds with the aforementioned powerful family and, not surprisingly, on the hit list of at least one very dangerous man. And that, in turn, means Charlie must turn to a couple of loyal friends who are familiar to those who have been following his adventures for at least several preceding books. The interaction among all the characters - and the reasons thereof - add interest and intrigue to the story, and the ending brings a few surprises. All told, it's a glimpse into the story of how the Charlie Parker we've come to know came to be. Well done - again!
While this book showed some of Connolly’s well known talent I wasn’t as caught up in it as I was in most of his previous writing.
Anyone who knows my reading habits knows that the release of a new John Connolly book is always an event for me; make that double if it’s a new entry in the Charlie Parker series. So it shouldn’t be a surprise to see The Dirty South, the latest Parker book, making my read list. Almost feeling like a conscious choice to push back against the sprawl and scope of the previous book in the series (the apocalyptic A Book of Bones), The Dirty South is a lean crime story, one without all of the supernatural trappings and dark horrors that have become such a part of the Parker books. Instead, we’re back to the earliest days we spent with Parker, finding him as he roams the country looking for the man who killed his family, only to start investigating the deaths of girls in a southern town that seems set on shoving the corpses under the rug. The Dirty South has all of the strong writing that Connolly is known for, and in some ways, it’s fun to see him spin something as simple as a taut thriller set in a town where no one can be trusted because everyone has things to lose. Nonetheless, I can’t help but feel that The Dirty South ends up feeling inessential in the end, not adding enough to Parker’s story to make the odd prequel choice really necessary. It’s a solid enough read, and it feels like a conscious effort by Connolly to pare things back down, but as a reader, it’s a fun diversion but not that much more. (That being said, even weak Connolly is still very much worth your time.)
This book was was well written as are all of the Parker books but it seemed redundant. The origins of the Parker story were more than well covered in DEAD THING. I guess, for a first time reader of the Parker series, it would be a good introduction but for those of us who have been on the journey from its beginnings, it is like a step back. I feel like we have long since passed this version of Parker and the look back was unnecessary. I really look forward to each book once a year like an addiction but this one did not satisfy my it. Also the inclusion of Angel and Louis did not feel right because their visit had no real necessary purpose. It was like Connolly threw them in there because he thought the readers expected to see them but there was really nothing much for them to do. That was totally atypical of this series. I love the Angel and Louis characters because they often bring out a levity in Parker, and readers get a taste of his dead panned humor and wit that is much appreciated because of the rest of the subject matter but this was a miss. I hope that the author begins to bring a bit more focus on his daughter Sam. I can foresee the possibility of her growing into her own series. Right now, I just waiting for October and the next book.

A Decent Book but not enough Parker
It was okay, but certainly one of the lesser Parker novels. I never felt the passion for solving the crime that many of the others in this series have. And like many of the recent books, the reader spends very little time with Parker, sidelining him while what feels like a different main character takes centre stage. I'm not so petty as to count the words where Parker is the main character in a chapter, but I'm betting it's only about 30% of the book dedicated to him, with far more going to the sheriff, who is clearly the real protagonist of this book. If this was the first John Connolly book a reader picked up they'd be wondering why the series isn't subtitled "An Evan Griffin Thriller". I'm not sure if this is intentional, but the previous Parker book spent more time following an investigation via a British police detective while Parker followed different clues and they kind-of merged eventually in the final act. Which is fine, but it was very much a supernatural crime thriller FEATURING Charlie Parker rather than starring him. I'm wishing we could go back to the days when Parker was both the protagonist and the emotional centre of these stories, where we got a journey through his soul, and really felt his struggles to face the dark forces coming to the fore. Instead, I feel like Mr Connolly would rather be telling other stand-alone stories set in this remarkable and fascinating world, and Parker is along for the ride because the publisher insists this is what sells. Frankly, I'd read anything in this story world written by John Connolly. He's a great writer, so if he wants to write books that concentrate on new stand-alone characters (or even a new one to continue parallel to the Parker books), then I'd happily buy those. I enjoyed Bad Men, after all. Ultimately, though, with The Dirty South, like A Book of Bones (#17), I was constantly waiting for Parker's story to kick into gear, and it never really did, while the other main character ran the show. Don't get me wrong - this is a good book by most measures, so my complaints are purely about my expectations, having read this series for so long. Fingers crossed we get back to what I loved about the earlier books, and we can explore this world through Parker a bit more intimately.

first disappointment!
having never written a review i was disappointed to make this my first, as this writer and charlie himself are always a treat that i wait for avidly! this struck me as almost a publish for publishing's sake novel and, if you didn,t know better, could have been "ghost written" as it lacks the sense and feel, and overall satisfaction that is so anticipated.
Normally I would give John Connolly 5 stars as he is incapable of writing a poor novel even if he wrote it in sand with a stick. However, excellent as this was it was not the book I was hoping for. I wanted far more of the latter stages of Charlie Parker's journey with the strong supernatural thread that has lifted these books from just great detective stories to the sublime. I will keep hoping!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Thoroughly enjoyed.
Having read all of this series enjoyed The Dirty South, helps prolong series as a day of reckoning coming soon for Charlie Parker. As a prequel not sure prepares new readers for Every Dead Thing one of the best crime novels ever written, this was quite a light read in comparison to EDT which is very intense. Next book from Connolly is an Angel and Louis novel so may have to wait until 2023 for this day of reckoning.

The Dirty South is a big disappointment
After waiting avidly for this book my heart sank when I saw he had gone back to soon after losing his wife Susan and child. Thinking it would be in his usual gripping genre ,developing his relation with his daughter it was disappointing to find a well written but average story, is there no future for a follow on?
