This is not only a hunt for a serial killer, it’s a social commentary and an obituary for once-great newspapers. Well-written as always. Be sure to read The Poet first.

I do not understand all the admiration for this book. Too many boring details about IT stuff. Many complaints about today's journalism. And then, of course, always powerful FBI. Not interesting book. Barely finish reading it.

This book was very good although I prefer the Lincoln Lawyer stories more. But his writing is excellent, lots of suspense and lots of twists and turns.

The type of crime is despicable, torturing women for pleasure. But the story does grab you and make you anxious for the bad guys to get their just due.

I love Michael Connelly but this one was not his best. There were too many references to past books ,some I remembered and some I didn't.
The story was good at first but then it became dull. It seemed to go in too many directions.…
