Fantastic storyline, impecable performance

Yet another masterpiece by Connolly, I just cannot have enough of the dark and twisted intricate plots and which ywt remain realistically humane. I love the complexity of his characters and the time he allocates in dipicting each and every one of them so picturesquely poetic. Well done!

Stunning rendition by Jeff Harding.

A stunning rendition by Jeff Harding of a darkly constructed mystery by John Connolly. Brings a new and emotive interpretation to a narrative master of the Crime genre.

Another brilliant addition

Incredibly well written and performed yet again, the detail of the places and characters keep you invested in this series of books and chomping at the bit to start the next.

Unquiet

Connolly is a master story teller, Parker is a work or character genius, Jeff Harding is the best story teller I've ever heard.

An uncomfortable reality leaking into nightmares

Would you consider the audio edition of The Unquiet to be better than the print version?

There's nothing in it for when I read a John Connolly book I do so hearing Jeff Harding

What did you like best about this story?

The multi layered plot that is very gradually woven into a pattern ... the anticipation you are seduced into almost without knowing what direction the writer will take next

What about Jeff Harding’s performance did you like?

The depth and gravitas he lends to characters - the sound colours he charges each scene, each character with...male or female. The man has a genius for story telling with a voice that has a certain timbre John Connolly's books need.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

You have to savour the entire story to get a charge and no one moment can do that. You can't appreciate a building by studying a single brick.

Not my favourite

Firstly performance: by now I’ve become used to the narrator as he’s narrated all previous books excluding one. Might just be me but I felt he gave Louis a more dumbed down feeling this time round and Angel sounding more like a NY pipsqueak. I think the characters are much deeper than perhaps they’re portrayed.

Another point I’ll mention is that I was very aware of hearing pages being turned/held and felt like these could’ve been edited out? Personally found them quite distracting (I listen through headphones so perhaps more obvious).

The story: it was ok, there were interesting characters throughout. I had wondered if I’d missed a book when The Collector was introduced but apparently I haven’t. I feel like it was quite slow throughout and as a result the ending felt a bit rushed the way everything suddenly seemed to happen.

I’m honestly a bit bored of the Rachel storyline and feel like maybe the author introduced a love interest/family too soon in what appears to be a long series and they sort of get in the way/don’t add anything for me.

Superb - just as expected.

Another great installment in this series from John Connelly, and again, a great performance. Jeff Harding IS the voice of Charlie Parker.

Haunting uncomfortable compelling

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book to a friend if they enjoyed supernatural thrillers with a twist

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

I love Jeff Harding he brings the characters to life. I first came across him when I listened to "Dancing for the Hangman"

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes, it made me really sad, its uncomfortable listening because you really don't want to believe the evil that people do but you know it goes on. Even though the book is fictional you get drawn in and hooked. It could have been based on real events and in parts, probably was.

Any additional comments?

The research into child abuse the author did for this book must have been harrowing. I wasn't sure I was going to like the book but I just couldn't put it down. I wanted to see justice done! The twist at the end was one I didn't see coming either.
