A Book Of Bones

I just finished reading A Book of Bones, John Connolly's latest mystery novel.  The stories feature private investigator Charlie Parker, who lives in Maine and whose cases involve the supernatural.  A Book of Bones is the sequel to Parker's last book, The Woman in the Woods.  I enjoyed both books, and recommend them to anyone who likes both mystery novels and horror stories.  However, I advise everyone to read The Woman in the Woods first, since it provides the background for A Book of Bones.  The story involves a shadowy couple searching for a book called The Fractured Atlas, which has powers that can change, as well as end, the world.  And speaking of horrors, in the background of the above photograph is Bonnie Brae Ice Cream, one of Denver's most popular ice cream parlors and where none other than Rudy Giuliani once campaigned for the presidency.  Now that is scary.  Talk about haunted ground.
