Search - The Scarecrow (Jack McEvoy, Bk 2)

Another excellent novel by Michael Connelly. Great character development, goes deep into what it's like to be a news reporter but not to the point of the reader losing interest in what's being said. The story moves fast from one chapter to the next, and it's hard to put down! Keeps you guessing what will happen in the next few pages. This time the story is told from the (first person) viewpoint of Jack McEvoy, a reporter that appears in many of Connelly's "Harry Bosch" novels. Another recurring character, FBI agent Rachel Walling, is an integral part of the story. Some authors rush to end the book and you feel left unsatisfied - NOT the case with this book: this ending leaves you satisfied that the story has reached its conclusion at just the right pace.

Very descriptive well written book. A very good writer who turns out veru visual stories. In fact if you read it you won't watch any movie made of it . you will feel as if you have seen it already.

EXCELLENT!! Just like all of Michael Connelly's books!

very well written, keeps you turning pages, short chapters that leave you wanting to know what happens next. Good characters you can like and root for instead of an insufferable person you hate on first page. Have liked all of Michael Connelly books so far.

I've read several of Michael Connelly's books now and this is as good as any. The ending was quite different than expected. His reference to his previous book The Poet has me very intrigued and I plan to read it next.

An okay story good for cold nights and a warm fire.
