  <default_description>&lt;I&gt;&lt;big&gt;But that is the nature of revenge. It escalates. It cannot be controlled. One hurt invites another, on and on until the original injury is all but forgotten in the chaos of what follows.&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;P&gt;John Connolly's originality and talent for storytelling have quickly made him one of today's preeminent thriller writers. Now, in &lt;I&gt;The Unquiet,&lt;/i&gt; private detective Charlie Parker returns to untangle a horrifying story of betrayal, unclean desires, and murder -- a story of never-ending evil whose conclusion is not yet written.&lt;P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Daniel Clay, a once-respected psychiatrist, has gone missing. His daughter insists that he killed himself after allegations surfaced that he had betrayed his patients to foul and evil men -- but when a killer obsessed with uncovering the truth behind his own daughter's disappearance comes seeking revenge, long-forgotten secrets begin to emerge. Hired by Dr. Clay's daughter to protect her from the predator on the loose, tortured and ingenious private detective Charlie Parker finds himself trapped between those who want the truth to be revealed and those who will go to any length to keep it hidden. &lt;P&gt;&lt;P&gt;John Connolly masterfully intertwines secret lives and secret sins with the violence that so often lies beneath the surface of the honeycomb world in this gripping page-turner. Fast-paced, hypnotic, and elegantly written, The Unquiet is John Connolly at his chilling best.&lt;P&gt;&lt;P&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I listened to this book a the same time I was reading my first Connolly novel.  This one, I feel, is in the same mold as the one I read.  Connolly writes wonderfully rich, seriously dark stories.  As I stated in my other review...I'm not sure he's my 'cup of tea'.  Right now, anyway.  Still, I can't...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63899436">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[John Connolly is the best writer of thrillers around at the moment.  All of his books are terrific page-turners with great characters, brilliant writing and compelling plots - what's more many of them go beyond the thriller genre and into the supernatural.  The Unquiet is no exception.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really want to like John Connolly's books. They have enough supernatural elements to be creepy without being unbelievable. The plots are interesting and his characters are completely believable. The problem is his writing style. He has a habit of repeating himself to the point of being overbearing...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31245529">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[John Connoly is a good writer, but this story is a little unwieldy for my tastes.  It's a ghost story meets serial killer meets the story.  There's some Stephen King, a little Kellerman, James Lee Burke, and that movie write M. Night Shaylanam(?).]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I started a John Connolly group for fans of the Charlie Parker series as well as his stand-alone novels.  I was suprised that one had not been started years ago.  I am not a huge poster but do enjoy reading what others think about the characters and themes of his novels.<br/><br/>Oh, since this is...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15238581">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The best Charlie Parker novel in a while, creepy and fast moving.  One of the most interesting things about this series is that you're never quite sure whether there is a serious supernatural element or not. Parker's perceptions may be warped by his previous experiences, he himself admits this (in o...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18674336">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I don't mind supernatural elements in novels (I love Dean Koontz), but when the device doesn't further the story or the plot it just doesn't make sense to me.  The story of the detective on the trail of serial child molesters was OK, but the book became just another &quot;revenge&quot; thriller.  C-]]></body>
