lucyn20 's review for:
The Narrows
by Michael Connelly
A really good and fast paced read...
I was excited to read this following on from 'The Poet'. This book will offer quite a lot of spoilers though if you haven't read 'The Poet' previously. I also think there is a least one if not two more books that should be read before this one.
I realy enjoyed 'The Poet', however felt that novel was not completely conclusive so wanted to read the follow on novel. At first I was a little confused that 'The Poet' appears to be part of a different series under Jack MacEvoy (a journalist) compared to this book, 'The Narrows which falls under the Harry Bosch series. It almost bridges different series together.
I would say this book provides a good follow on and was centred on stopping a know serial killer as opposed to a mystery of who did it. This was an interesting angle to take and really loved how Harry Bosch tackled the situation.
Out of all the characters presented, I felt Harry Bosch was the most developed. He appeared to have a good level of intelligence and feeling, where I felt some of the other characters to be a little wooden, as if they were just placed in the story to fill a gap.
Overall, I think I enjoyed this book a little more that the 'The Poet' and felt it to be a more fast-paced read. I felt there was more drama and felt I connected more with the plot. It still felt slightly open ended and I'm intrigued to read some of the other novels in this series and author.
