Excellent story - just Jack McEvoy, no Bosch - where Jack’s suspiciousness fuels his search for the killer, but also torpedoes what he wants most. The man has never learned when to just shut up.
The whole DNA testing security issue makes…

Just average. This is the third in the McEvoy series, but the first one that I have read. I thought the McEvoy and Walling characters uninteresting. Neither character comes close to a Bosch or Haller. Zero chemistry between the two. After…

4 -4 1/2 stars. This is the third book in the Jack McEvoy series and it was a very good read. Jack is working for a website that deals with consumer issues and doing okay. When the police come by to chat with him about the murder of a…

A good mystery, well written, and full of high intensity moments. We follow a reporter as he uncovers a serial murderer and the path he uses to find his victims. The book covers, in depth, the investigatory techniques used by the reporter…

This was my first Jack McEvoy novel... quite a good exposé of how sloppy and unregulated commercial DNA business is in the US. Seeing that Michael Connelly was a reporter before becoming an author, I was expecting a deeper dive into the…

This Jack McEvoy mystery was simply OK for me. I think it could have used some editing and I found the means of targeting young women to be very complicated and frankly unbelievable for me. Kristi & Abby Tabby

Good story. It involved Jack McEvoy, the journalist from 'The Poet' story(which is where I began my journey with Michael Connelly.) Anyway Jack, while reporting on something else seems to be finding a link between murders that have been…

Another novel featuring maverick reporter Jack McEvoy. It was thought provoking and
insightful. Michael Connelly remains a prolific and engaging author.

Reading the first third of the book, I was optimistic this would be a good read. I thought maybe the author was suffering from Bosch fatigue and that he'd get his mojo back by dragging out the Jack McEvoy character from long ago.

This is one of Connelly's best in recent years. There has not been Jack McEvoy book since "The Scarecrow" in 2009, and a lot has changed in McEvoy's life. Rachel Walling, an old aquaintance and amour of Harry Bosch makes an appearance,…

A killer mystery that takes you through all the details to an exciting climax. Filled with newspaper and police jargon, explained for the uninitiated. The main character is nicely flawed, and that makes him believable. If you get lost…
thought this was going to be a real page turner. It was not that at all-I was really disappointed in this book. It was certainly not put together well, as some of his other great stories!
There was way too much detail in the book-I was…
