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.

Loved this book!! This was one of my favorites thus far in the Harry Bosch series! I have read the newer books and now going back to read the earlier ones. FBI agent Rachel Walling is involved again as the Poet (serial killer)resurfaces. He is out to track her down once again.
At the same time Former Former LAPD detective Harry Bosch gets a call, too--from the widow of an old friend. Her husband's death seems natural, but his ties to the hunt for the Poet make Bosch dig deep. Arriving at a derelict spot in the California desert where the feds are unearthing bodies, Bosch joins forces with Rachel. Now the two are at odds with the FBI...and squarely in the path of the Poet, who will lead them on a wicked ride out of the heat, through the narrows of evil, and into a darkness all his own.
