Oh, he is one of my very favorite authors! And reading this latest book was especially a treat since the US version won't be out for over a month! I really enjoyed this book! The plot - both more political and more supernatural than many of the preceding books - took my by surprise. I had expected from the end of _The Lovers_ that Sharon Macy and maybe even more about his parents would be the focus of the next book. Instead, The Collector reappeared, and he is one of my favorite enigmatic characters of Connolly's creation, so I was very intrigued. Darker, overall and with little more than a cameo appearance by Louis and Angel, the plot was well-paced and came to an exciting conclusion. And while it was less lushly written than some of his other books, the last page still left me anxiously wanting the next book. It'll be a long year, but I think I may re-read the entire Charlie Parker series soon... I have never done that before and I think it will be interesting to see the layers of Connolly's honeycomb world grow...
