It was an interesting read and it gets my Storm Seal of Approval.
You will be happy with the choice.

Yes

It is weaker than other Connelly novels I have enjoyed

not write it in 2 weeks

No

no

I didn't listen to this book for months after I had finished all the Bosch and Lincoln Lawyer series. I finally was out of books on my must read list (almost never happens) and was short on credits and had bought this and the poet a while back.

They were both just as good as any of his other books. Don't wait or not read these because they are not part of the main story lines. They are both very good and give some great back story to some of the characters in the main series. Should read them if possible in the order they fall in the other series. If you read this one and have not read a few of the Bosch books, this will have a few spoilers.

I usually love Michael Connelly, but this is not my favorite. The reader tries too hard and distracts A lot!

Yes, I thought it was complex enough to keep me listening, and nice, tight storyline, ditto for the listening effect.

It rolled along nicely, wasn't predictible, but wouldn't say it kept me on the edge of my seat.

The main character.

No, but then, this wasn't meant to be a tearjerker.

I enjoyed this story. I have read all of Connelly's book and found this one just as enjoyable. More, please.

Interesting story line ... enjoyed it very much as this is my first audio book

I haven't read it.

The characters were likable, the story easy to follow yet complex enough to bring it.

First time hearing him and he did well

This book is worth the credit. I had bought some not so great ones before this and I was happy I did. It gets you involved which is what a good book does. Worth it.

Finally back to good Classic Connelly. I thought this book was almost as good as The Lincoln Lawyer. Without giving too much away, I am wondering what is next for Jack? For Rachel? Anything? I hope so. These two characters play well off each other as a side story. Coming together, parting , coming together again. The Scarecrow is a classic serial killer plot but it is well written and held my attention. Giles did a good job with the narration. He doesnt 'do' different voices all that well but he narrates in such a way you are never confused as to who is speaking. I thought it well worth a credit.

Enjoyed the pairing of Rachael and Mac. I like the Rachael character. However she seems to sleep around. In each story she has gratitutious sex with someone. Mac is helplessly in love with her and it is clear that she uses him as a convenience for sex on her terms only. The story was okay. There seemed to be multiple sub plots in the form of flashbacks or the thoughts of other characters. These could have been improved by more development or eliminated. It is reasonable to believe that in this age of technology the crimes committed are possible. This aspect could have also been better developed. The narrator was exceptional. There was slot of telling or reading in this story and not as thrilling as the other Connelly novels.
