The Waiting - Prequel to our Deep Dive Podcast…
This was a good read but nothing particularly new or groundbreaking for Michael Connelly. If you're a fan of the Bosch/Ballard universe, you'll appreciate the continuation of their stories. Ballard's investigation into a theft at a surf break becomes intertwined with a larger, more dangerous case involving domestic terrorism, as she tracks down her stolen badge. Fans of Bosch will be pleased to see him playing a key role, aiding Ballard in her pursuit of justice.
- The pacing is classic Connelly, keeping you engaged with twists and turns throughout.
- Ballard continues to be a compelling character, grappling with personal struggles while dedicating herself to her work.
- The plot feels familiar at times, echoing themes and elements from previous Connelly novels.
Overall, "The Waiting" is an enjoyable thriller, but don't expect it to be the most memorable or unique addition to Connelly's impressive body of work.
