by Michael Connelly, Peter Giles
The main reason why I am not giving this five stars is that it's a bit much that Jack keeps facing off against killers. It's okay that he's a reporter and that's it. Also the story gets a little lost at times I thought. It picks up when Jack meets Rachel again, but I wish that Connelly actually spen...
Jack was being downsided. He got a pink slip. A 12 days notice before clearing his desk. He also needed to train his replacement Angela Cook, a very green journalist. A woman was found in car trunk, dead and naked. Jack reported it and was harassed by a caller who claimed the guy was innocent...
Book Reaction (not a full review) The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly As always, Michael Connelly can spin a story. My attention was captured from beginning to end. Connelly brings all of his personal experiences to bear in The Scarecrow, which opens with a bitter portrait of modern reporting. Jack ...
This is what a serial killer thriller should be: taut, scary, fast-moving, making good use of the usual tropes (for the killer: childhood trauma, cool/goofy nickname, grotesque fetish, high intelligence; for the hero: personal life in a shambles, likeability issues, high intelligence) while building...
Great book! Grab a copy!
This marks the fourth Michael Connelly book that I have read. I was drawn to this particular choice because of the main protagonist, a reporter, Jack McEvoy who I first met in Connelly’s, The Poet.In the Scarecrow Jack is still a reporter, writing for the LA Times, but one who has just been served ...
I had to slap my hand several times to keep from skipping to the end of [b:The Scarecrow|4527502|The Scarecrow (Jack McEvoy, #2)|Michael Connelly|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41cRM6c8CjL._SL75_.jpg|4576703] to see if my favorite characters would survive in this solid 4 Star thriller.

I really enjoyed another novel centering around Jack McEvoy. He is a relatable and likable character. I also greatly enjoy Rachel's character, and where there is Jack there is Rachel. There are similarities to The Poet, however, it is not unexpected as Jack is simply the type of reporter/person to g...
This is the second book in a few weeks that I read, in which the crime was related to Internet world. It's pretty scary thought, that your identity can be stolen from you OR be the bait for a murder. Anyway, I enjoy this book VERY much. I like Jack McEvoy (even if I don't remember much from "The Poe...
This read fit perfectly after the mounds of chick-lit-ish books I've been reviewing lately (as someone very nicely pointed out to me). Good characters, plot, story-telling... I loved when Jack informs the CNN news guy that he needs a "beeper"--because someone'll have to beep the mf coming out of Al...
