I went in with higher expectations for this book. It was a lot more convoluted than it needed to be. Kept waiting for the climax and things to straighten off. Didn't really connect with the main character. 
Plot wise it was alright but didn't really keep me hooked. I struggled to complete it

First book in the new Micheal Connelly police procedural series, and I found it to be fine. 
I was entertained enough, and the narrator did a good job, but I will say the Bosch and Ballard books/series are superior 
I’ll possibly read more when they come out, but I won’t necessarily rush

This was a great start to a series with a new detective! I could not read the book fast enough and I’m all in on Stilwell! The plot, his dedication, the colleague dynamics and no soapy romance but definitely a relationship with real challenges. Can’t wait til the next one!!
