Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Recommended for fans of the harry * universe and fans of crime beat reporters. The poet is one of connelly’s earlier books, published in 1996. Throwing in edgar allen poe was a nice touch - i hope it leads some readers to his works. Great plot and as ... Read More

The rachel walling character (fbi profiler) is similar to thomas perry's elizabeth warring character from the 1982 novel, 'butcher boy.

Cons

All his female characters are ever there for is as plot devices. Once again, a male author has to have his male protagonist sleep with a gorgeous, smart, career driven female character.

Jack mcevoy is even less likeable than harry *. The ending is so convoluted its silly. They're all drop-dead gorgeous but have little to no personality.

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

Very easy to read author with excellent flow and mix of dialog interspersed with piercing thoughts and descriptions

The main characters are well developed so much so that you really care about them especially the female fbi character

The time period is the mid‘90s and i giggled at dialup internet connections faxes pagers landline phones and newfangled digital cameras

Some of the important clues and misdirections would not even exist now

Competitiveness

I’m so happy i found him and bosch and the lincoln lawyer

Another departure is that this is told mostly in firstperson as opposed to the thirdperson bosch novels

Although this novel started off a little slow compared to the bosch series soon you are lulled into the world of who is really the monster
