A Michael Connelly book without Harry Bosch or Terry McCaleb? Yep, and guess what? It's possibly one of his best. Here we have a 'criminal' you'll find yourself rooting for. Cassie Black has a couple of agendas driving her and it won't take long for you to decide that even if both are 'criminal' they are at least 'the lesser of two evils'. Great procedural combined with gut-wrenching emotionality.

Change of pace Connelly book.

This novel veers off the familiar path - no appearances by the typical cast members - Terry McCaleb, Rachel Walling, Mickey Haller or Harry Bosch. And it's not about law enforcement or really even a detective mystery. Instead it's a thriller focused on a good bad guy and a bad bad guy.

As the plot moves forward in time, the reader is left with numerous gaps in the storytelling - those mysteries develop and get historical details filled in later in the story.

A little unusual, but a good read.

3.5 stars out of 5.

Although this is not a Bosch novel, it's still an exciting, yet introspective thriller. I have to warn you--if you're a mom, you'll bawl through the ending. Also, like Connelly's other books you might want to avoid it if you are very sensitive to violence and bad language

A lightning paced, sexy, and unputdownable story of love, money, and retribution. Great crime fiction from a master of suspense and taut delivery.

After having read most of the Harry Bosch novels, I decided to read one of the two books that are not part of a Michael Connelly series: VOID MOON. This book is so different from the author's usual type that it took a while to adjust.

Cassie Black is on probation for a crime she committed 6 years ago in Las Vegas. She feels the "outlaw juice" rise up in her veins and she decides to make one last heist in order to escape her dull life as a used car salesman of Porsches. With meticulous skill and care, she perpetrates the perfect crime until she finds out the money she stole is mob-money. With nowhere to hide, Cassie starts to run. However, the man chasing her seems to have a psychotic need to kill everyone related to the crime.

I downgraded this book because of the slow movement of the first half of the book due to the almost tedious explanation of all the tools and electronic gear Cassie gathered and used in the commission of her crime. On the other hand, I enjoyed seeing a probationer turn into a quasi-heroine. The last half of the book was absolutely fascinating and moved very, very well.

Michael Connelly doesn't fail to deliver in another action thriller, with several twists and turns to keep the reader guessing right up to the end.

Mickey Haller, Harry Bosch, you don't need to move over for this one--moves very slow, after 100+ pages it just hadn't gotten anywhere, it took too many pages just to describe the tools she needed for the job, not interesting at all, too many pages filled with descriptions that just weren't interesting and just took up pages. I like Connelly but this one was just boring

This is a departure from the genre of the always entertaining and engrossing Harry Bosch series, yet may be one of his best works. Written from the female protaganist's perspective, the plot is tense rather than terse, packed with Connelly's humor, attention to detail and unrelenting pace and suspense. Cassie is a formidable and complete women who doesn't need super powers of martial arts, firearms skills or other silly devices to achieve heroism. Highly recommended!

Michael Connelly books move very fast and pull you in. This book is about too much about a perfect heist going wrong. Cassie is on the run. Who tried to set her up?
