“For her passivity in these horizontal moments was diametrically opposed to her demeanor in our vertical moments.” Quote from Jack McEvoy from The Poet.Sentences like that just capture my heart. It could be easily said to be trite or ordinary, maybe, but sometimes I like ordinary, at times, anyway....
It's been a long time since I've read a straight-up police procedural style thriller... and I've missed it.

I enjoyed this book. I found the writing to be very different than Connelly's Bosch series, although both would be considered mysteries. An interesting storyline that keeps the reader interested. There was a lot going on for the reader to keep up with, as well as a lot of characters.

Connelly has a way with words and plot turns. I absolutely love the twists, especially at the end. Readi...
I have tried to read several Michael Connelly books and they just don't rock my boat. I find Jack McEvoy to be blowhardish and overly dramatic so I will probably just pass on this series and decide Connelly's writing just isn't my cup of tea!
