Reviews
Connolly's evocative prose and sharp one-liners make it oddly akin to poetry
. . . a dark sense of foreboding from the opening pages should will and chill Connolly's considerable fan-base through this second novel at great pace. . . Killer imagery is his secret weapon
DARK HOLLOW is a frightening, disturbing and brutal tale interspersed with great moments of dark humour
Connolly is not an easy author to pigeonhole. He is his own man: an original and exuberant story-teller, as he proves once more with this enjoyable book
Atmospheric, compulsive and deeply upsetting, [DARK HOLLOW] mark(s) the appearance of a writer whose star is most definitely in the ascendancy
Classic American detective fiction and of a very high order.
Despite the gore, this second novel is subtler and more complex than the best-selling EVERY DEAD THING. Connolly's lyrical language and occasional mystical passages are reminiscent of James Lee Burke. His hero is developing into a credible and sympathetic personality
This is an exciting thriller and Parker is an engaging hero.
