Reviews
This book is the sequel to The Poet. The Poet was engrossing and interesting. Felt that Connelly didn't put all his efforts into this one and just wrote a sequel to get a sequel out. Found it very slow. Does have detective Harry Bosch, The FBI, and other familiar characters, but not enough that really held my interest. Struggle to get through it. Can't say I would recommend it. Read other Connelly books and keep this for last.
Michael Connelly is one of my favorite authors and who doesn't love Harry Bosch the work-a-holic detective who can't stay away from the stickiest crimes to solve. Great read, I recommend.
I truly enjoyed every minute of this book. I have now read all of the Bosch books and still can't get enough. Do wish Connelly was as prolific a writer as say Steele - but would the character/plot suffer? I guess I will just have to wait for the next one. In the meantime there's Jack Reacher by Childs among others.
