A review by billymac1962
The Narrows by Michael Connelly
3.0
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.
