![]() ![]() It’s a creepy read due to the extent of the crimes - CW for gore, rape, and child molestation and murder - and for how Connelly takes the Thomas Harris approach of regularly breaking from Jack’s perspective to situate us in the mind of the suspect, in contrast to how the Bosch novels that I’ve read so far have tended to stick to only what Harry knows. The journalist soon joins up with an FBI team promising him exclusive access in return for not publishing just yet, and they embark on a cross-country manhunt to intervene before their target can strike again. Our protagonist this time is investigative reporter Jack McAvoy, who digs into the apparent suicide of his brother the cop only to uncover evidence that it’s actually a well-disguised murder - and that the same killer is behind a half-dozen similar cases around the nation, always leaving a note in the victim’s handwriting that quotes Edgar Allan Poe. The Poet by Michael Connelly (Jack McAvoy #1)Īuthor Michael Connelly’s fifth crime thriller, the first not to feature detective Harry Bosch, has been written to stand on its own, although it introduces concepts and characters that will later cross over with the main series. ![]()
