4.0étoiles sur 5 Another great thriller, Mai 17 2009
Par M. Storey (Toronto/London) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Scarecrow (Hardcover)
I'm a fan of Connelly's previous books, especially the Bosch novels, but was a little wary of picking up with a character after so long but Jack McEvoy slides right back into the narrator's chair and, after a slightly slow start, the story flows easily into another thoroughly enjoyable page-turner.

If you've read one of Connelly's books before you'll know exactly what to expect, well-drawn and motivated characters with an interesting story that once up and running doesn't stop until the clash of the finale. Highly recommended.

I picked up The Scarecrow at a Chapters in Toronto, they must have accidentally put the book out for sale early because the next day they were all gone.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Simply the best!, Jui 14 2009
This review is from: The Scarecrow (Hardcover)
To my mind Connelly is simply the best in his genre. I never get tired of reading his prose and his plot lines are always tightly knight, beleivable with plenty or thrills and suspense. Whether a stand-alone or one of the Harry Bosch series, Connelly always stays true to form with suspenseful and well-researched stories. His characters are not sterotypes, but real people with flaws and scars. Once again, Michael has written a great read with "The Scarecrow."

Speaking of excellent thriller do look up the indie hit A Tourist In The Yucatan a rough little gem!

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Serial Killer Stalks His Pursuers, Jui 23 2009
This review is from: The Scarecrow (Hardcover)

"If, however, a man acts presumptuously toward his neighbor, so as to kill him craftily, you are to take him even from My altar, that he may die." -- Exodus 21:14

Let's face it, kinky serial killers make for good reading. Although the Scarecrow isn't the most interesting serial killer you've ever read about, you'll probably find him to be very entertaining in a high-tech way. That's the good news.

The bad news is that this book is about Jack McEvoy in his last days after being fired from the Los Angeles Times . . . rather than about that fascinating detective, Harry Bosch. If this book had been all about Bosch versus the Scarecrow, it would have been some story.

It did seem very contemporary to focus much of the story on how a top reporter would react to losing his job . . . while having few prospects for what to do next. As newspapers die around us, the days when such books will be written are clearly numbered.

Given that McEvoy is the sleuth in the story, I think the plot would have worked a lot better if the book had revealed less about the Scarecrow until just near the end. Instead, the book's structure alternates narrators so you learn a lot about the Scarecrow from the very beginning. To me, that stole a lot of the potential suspense and danger from the tale.

Naturally, a lot of readers are familiar with McEvoy's role in The Poet. I thought that book worked somewhat better than this one. But if you liked The Poet, you'll probably enjoy The Scarecrow, as well.
