My first Michael Connelly novel and still to this day the most disturbing in my opinion in a Hannibal Lecter style . Gripping and provoking, yet full of interest, mystery and darkness, put together with some style by Mr Connelly making you want more after each page and chapter...
Until the end, that I won't spoil for you, I enjoyed the story. It was plausible, well-paced, and I really liked the characters.
I can't decide whether I'm upset, or not. The ALMOST Deus Ex Machina-esque finalé was just probable enough to offer the benefit of the doubt. Also, I'm struggling to discover how I would have ended the story had I been holding the pen. For these reasons I cannot impune the author ... at all.
