It’s been quite a few years since I read The Poet, but I found this book so compelling with the combination of two amazing characters who fight together to track the worst killer they have encountered. It doesn’t help that a friend of Bosch’s, Terry McCaleb has passed and it seems that there is a connection between the Poet and his friend’s death.
At the same time Bosch is approached by McCaleb’s wife to look into her husband’s death for murder, Rachel Walling is finding that her biggest nightmare, the Poet, seems to have resurfaced in the worst of ways.
This story intertwines such a thrilling tale and Connelly does an amazing job bringing together the powerful lives and experiences to give the reader an incredible experience and journey through finding the Poet and solving multiple murders.
Highly recommend.

Tension. Connections. History. Sweetness. Travel. This hits it all, while never getting gross.

The Narrows is a follow-up to The Poet. It's been a while since I've read Michael Connelly and it was nice to get reaquainted with an old friend. What I found most entertaining with the story was how Connelly
had his characters talking abut the movie Blood Work (based on his novel) and The Poet.
Very unique move there, and I liked that a lot. This novel also brings Heironymous Bosch into the picture as well, so he's pulling out all the stops with all-star appearances.
All in all, The Narrows is well written with great dialogue, but I wasn't hit with the jolts of unease that The Poet had left me with. It's a pretty formulatic crime novel, but it's Michael Connelly, so you're
sure to be satisfied with this one.

I continue to enjoy the character of Harry Bosch. Michael Connelly deserves some credit for not just phoning it in after 10 in the series. You should read *The Poet* first if you want to get all the back story on this one, though.
