HOW DO YOU FIND A KILLER WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU?



'AS EXCITING AS ANYTHING CONNELLY HAS WRITTEN' THE TIMES

* * * * *

Jack McEvoy is a reporter with a track record in finding killers. But he's never been accused of being one himself.

Jack went on one date with Tina Portrero. The next thing he knows, the police are at his house telling Jack he's a suspect in her murder.

Maybe it's because he doesn't like being accused of a crime he didn't commit. Or maybe it's because the method of her murder is so chilling that he can't get it out of his head.

But as he uses his journalistic skills to open doors closed to the police, Jack walks a thin line between suspect and detective - between investigation and obsession - on the trail of a killer who knows his victims better than they know themselves...

Riveting, original and terrifying - this is a masterpiece from #1 bestseller Michael Connelly.

Critics Review

The final hundred pages of this unnerving novel are as exciting as anything Connelly has written.
The Times
More literary caviar from Connelly.
Financial Times
Utterly compelling and tinged with loss, this is Connelly at the peak of his powers.
Mail on Sunday
A rare outing for Jack McEvoy but my goodness, he's stumbled on an amazing story . . . mind-boggling
The Times
Excellent and angry...McEvoy is a great character. Connelly writes easy prose and has the best journalists' skill of providing the right information at the right time
Literary Review
A terrific writer with pace, style, and humanity to spare
Sunday Telegraph
At the very top of the crime-writing tree
Daily Mail

I managed about 20% of this before giving up. I’ve read nearly all of MC’s books and always enjoyed them but this was extremely dull, so dull I called time on it as it got to the point that I had zero investment in the plot or main character.
The narration was also poor, the guy sounded like some kind of Micky Spillane parody, I wasn’t sure if he was extracting the Michael (Connolly) or trying to demonstrate his unique style of sounding like amateur hour, either way he made a major contribution to the dullness.
