The Furies: mythological snake-haired goddesses of vengeance, pursuers of those who have committed unavenged crimes. Now, private investigator Charlie Parker is drawn into a world of modern furies. In The Sisters Strange, the return of the criminal Raum Buker to Portland, Maine brings with it chaos and murder, as an act of theft threatens not only to tear apart his own existence but also that of Raum's former lovers, the enigmatic sisters Dolors and Ambar Strange. And in The Furies Parker finds himself fighting to protect two more women as the city of Portland shuts down in the face of a global pandemic, but it may be that his clients are more capable of taking care of themselves than anyone could have imagined . . . Two novels in one from the master of the modern supernatural thriller.'John Connolly is the creator of a unique blend of thriller and horror who receives rave reviews every time for his lyrical, almost poetic language' Sunday Telegraph

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 it‘s not a five star read like usual but it‘s a@worthy installment to the Charlie Parker series. It‘s 2 novellas in one book so not as much intensity. But always enjoy being back with the gang.

#12DaysofChristmas @Andrew65 This is the last book of The Charlie Parker series, one of the best series I have ever read. John Connelly 's writing and use of words are excellent.

Andrew65 Glowing praise. 11mo

I finished this just now. I love this series. John Connelly knows how to write a thriller. It's the last of the Charlie Parker series. #SeriesLove23 it was a long book 535 pages. It took me 10 hrs and 56 min to read 📚. #31by31Reathathon @Catsandbooks #OutstandingOctober @Andrews651 #SpookoWeen @TheSpineView #24hourReatahton @PuddleJumper #RushAthon @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES #scarathlon #TeamCryptKeepers @StayCurious @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks

LiseWorks You have to. After you read a book you can't go back to books that are grade 10 level. I love the words he uses that I don't see except In a dictionary. @BookingitwithSandra 13mo

#OctoberReadingBingo #TeamCeypKeepers Got two more spots and two more lines on this bingo. Since I usually read from my Kindle, I don't use a bookmark, but reading with a leaf should count. E readers have their own light as well, but I do have a reading light for the occasional book. @StayCurious @Clwojick

Two novellas in one- both equally enjoyable and vintage Parker moments. Good stuff.

This 20th installation of the absolutely fantastic Charlie Parker series marks an unusual format- it‘s actually 2 novellas (technically more like short novels) into one! The Sisters Strange first appeared in a serial format during the pandemic- providing escape & comfort into a classic Charlie case involving ancient coins & modern thieves. Continuing to display his soft spot for female clients, the titular story delves more into the supernatural!

mcipher That‘s a fun restaurant too!! 2y
TorieStorieS @mcipher I know!! I love that it features so prominently in the series- and in both of these stories! 2y

#NetGalley #ARC

Reading this series is like sitting down with an old friend for me. Although the friend is slightly disturbed and haunted by the daughter he lost, but I can't help it, I love Charlie Parker, Louis, and Angel.

The Furies takes us into the dark side of coin collecting, but of course that leads into another mystery for Parker to solve. Connolly even talks about the pandemic some in this one.

Another solid addition to the series.

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs
Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView 😁

1. I pick the book that's due next at the library, unless there's a new King novel.

2. Most books are a 3 or 3.5 read for me. 5 stars are usually ones that make me emotional or nostalgic, 4 are ones I liked and recommend, and 2 is for ones that are forgettable or have writing problems.

3. Today I was grateful for my local book club. 💚

Tagged is my current read.

Eggs Thanks for joining in 🌿💗🌸 2y
