Michael Connelly still has it! Enjoyed the introduction of the new main character. Learned a lot about California law too!! I happened to read the second book in the series first, so I enjoyed being filled in on the background. I can strongly recommend the next book after finishing this one.

With the film approaching, I was interested in reading the book. This book is so visual! I found it difficult to put down, because of the many OMG moments that would occur. I was truly enthralled by the tale. From the scenes that I've seen in the trailer, it looks like the director lifted dialog straight from the book. That's a good thing, because of the witty remarks made by one particular character. These remarks helped lighted the mood of the story. Comic relief helps relieve the tension that builds. And.....the tension does build.

This book is a satisfying, scary read.
