billymac1962's review against another edition

The Narrows is a follow-up to The Poet. It's been a while since I've read Michael Connelly and it was nice to get reaquainted with an old friend. What I found most entertaining with the story was how Connelly
had his characters talking abut the movie Blood Work (based on his novel) and The Poet.
Very unique move there, and I liked that a lot. This novel also brings Heironymous Bosch into the picture as well, so he's pulling out all the stops with all-star appearances.
All in all, The Narrows is well written with great dialogue, but I wasn't hit with the jolts of unease that The Poet had left me with. It's a pretty formulatic crime novel, but it's Michael Connelly, so you're
sure to be satisfied with this one.

I continue to enjoy the character of Harry Bosch. Michael Connelly deserves some credit for not just phoning it in after 10 in the series. You should read *The Poet* first if you want to get all the back story on this one, though.

Slightly problematic structure in this one. Harry Bosch is in the dark, unlike the reader, for the first third. Once past that, it rolls along nicely.

So so entry. I didn't like the Terry character before, abs having him dead didn't improve the story. The FBI agent was ok, and grew on me. I appreciated her vibe by the end. early on she felt whiney.
