Product Description

Review

"Narrator Peter Giles delivers the crisp and compelling copy with a deadpan tone and a pace that advances like Patton through Italy. Scenes involving the stalking of McEvoy and Walling raise hairs at the back of the listener's neck. Great characters and a satisfying ending cement Connelly's place as one of the best crime novelists working today." (AudioFile )

Product Description

Forced out of the Los Angeles Times amid the latest budget cuts, newspaperman Jack McEvoy decides to go out with a bang, using his final days at the paperto write the definitive murder story of his career.

He focuses on Alonzo Winslow, a 16-year-old drug dealer in jail after confessing to a brutal murder. But as he delves into the story, Jack realizes that Winslow's so-called confession is bogus. The kid might actually be innocent.

Jack is soon running with his biggest story since The Poetmade his career years ago. He is tracking a killer who operates completely below police radar--and with perfect knowledge of any move against him. Including Jack's. (2009)

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great thriller, May 17 2009

By	M. Storey (Toronto/London) - See all my reviews (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best!, Jun 14 2009

By	Phil Gaston "the Gastonator" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Soft start - brilliant mover, Jul 9 2009

By	D. R. Chevalier "drchevalier" - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Scarecrow (Hardcover)

Jack McEvoy is a recurring character for Connelly readers. This book starts slow and very depressing as McEvoy gets downsized by the collapsing world of print media. As many folks are facing similar challenges, those similarly affected or fearful of such will probably stop there. Fortunately the pace changes and the story picks up with three dimensional characters both likeable and despicable. Connelly has done good research in creating his newest platform but his editors fail him by using incorrect acronyms in the technology space which will put off tech or legal savvy readers.

Once you get past this, it's a brilliant story well conceived and if you are in the industry in question, you'll probably make associations to real entities that Connelly has interviewed or researched for this novel. McEvoy is again excellent and his friend Rachel is her usual somewhat bipolar FBI self. The villain in question is a nasty piece of work and the reader may find him or herself both hating the character and admiring his skill in manipulating his environment.

Connelly effectively raises again the question of who watches the watchers in a new vein to excellent results.
