"Not as good as Connelly's others."
I am a big fan of Michael Connelly's thrillers, and have listened to all of them available on this site. Whereas the others are great, this one is just okay. I agree with other reviews that the main character is just too naive, and the plot is driven by his unbelievable blunders.
If you're new to Michael Connelly, don't start with this one -- get one of the Harry Bosch mysteries instead.
