John Connolly's "The Unquiet" is a disturbing mystery about various parties seeking vengeance for child abuse. Private Investigator, Charlie Parker, is hired by a woman who is being harassed by a man who calls himself Merrick.
Parker finds that Merrick has a dark past, but that Merrick has a moral compass that is not that different than the private investigators. Parker soon finds that Merrick may be just a pawn in a bigger, more sinister game.
"The Unquiet" is set in a Maine not so different than that portrayed by Stephen King. There are ghostly apparitions, a haunted house and other paranormal happenings, but Mr. Connolly's manipulations are more subtle than Mr. King's so that they seem quite plausible.
"The Unquiet" is a dark tale of good versus evil that features interesting characters, deceptions, lies, and mis-directions. The abuse at the heart of the story, though not terribly graphic, is so horrific that this book may be difficult reading for some.

Hi, my name is Rafael Alejandro Acero Hernandez, and I'm an alcoholic. I don't drink beer. I'm addicted to chocolate. I'm a bit bipolar and every once in a while obsessive/ compulsive. I have a really short attention span. I don't believe in labels, I'm not defined by what I do or by who I do- for that matter. I'm a writer, an actor, a dancer, BUT nothing is better than being a professional a$$hole. Soy un chilango incomprendido, y como tal- valemadrista a morir.
