This book reminded me, once again, why I love John Connolly and his Charlie Parker series. The mysteries are always page-turners, and The Unquiet is no exception. What really makes Connolly shine, though, is his wonderful dialogue. It's snappy, intelligent, and sometimes humorous. He manages to pull that off and have a terrific mystery, too. I recommend ALL of his books, although I would start at the beginning of the series so you don't miss any background of his very richly-developed characters.
