A review by jessmanners
The Narrows by Michael Connelly

2.0

I don’t know…just not that compelling! I’m okay in theory with mysteries that care more about the why/how than the who, but this seemed to lay all three out early on, so…it was just readers (listeners) waiting for Bosch to (inevitably) catch the guy…? Admittedly, this is yet another sequel I’ve accidentally consumed without having read the first, BUT, Connelly is sometimes cagey about characters if he wants to avoid spoilers for earlier books,* and he seemed totally fine with spelling out all the twists and turns of The Poet, so I don’t feel like I cheated too badly with my out-of-order reading…
Oh well. Onto the next!
*i have to say, I do enjoy his penchant for blurring worlds…I like that the characters keep referring to the (actual) Clint Eastwood movie based on them…and the griping about the changes in the Hollywood version was kinda funny. Is he friends with Dean Koontz? The choice of shout out there felt like an inside joke, too…
