The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly
4.0

What others have said re this thriller in the Jack McEvoy series: - Connelly is reliably, consistently fast-paced and well-written. No frills. He captures the culture of the newsroom and dying news industry expertly. The villain is well cast. Connelly drops in hints and foreshadowing that reward the careful reader. There are some Easter eggs as well for those familiar with the Bosch series. Very enjoyable. My only gripe is that some of Connelly’s action scenes can fall flat, and I thought that was the case here (1 star).
