The Poet

Product Information

He ends up doubting everything and everyone and is focused on not getting pushed out of the investigation. Un libro tenso, duro y bien escrito es bastante esclarecedor sobre los métodos que utiliza el FBI para perfilar y perseguir a los asesinos en serie.

Well; it can be somewhat confusing, is certainly irritating, doesn't work and is simply wrong, wrong, wrong. Don't get me wrong, Michael Connelly's brand of mystery/thriller writing isn't exactly subtle, but echo-chamber effects made moments of tension feel downright hokey.But a poor day with a Michael Connelly crime novel still beats the stuffing out of most of his competition on their best days and I'm happy to award this one four stars. However, comments made by Gladden lead Jack to believe that he was not the killer, even though the case has been officially closed. Además de la narración en primera persona de Jack, tenemos la voz del sospechoso, que fue intensa debido al tema pero bastante esencial para la historia.

Initially I kept thinking why nobody has the cellphone, why no one was using phone to check the breaking news, or tracking the suspect by the phone, and after few chapters I realized that the book came out in 96. And to be fair, about half of the book is superbly paced, but with the unsympathetic protagonist dragged along. In 1986, he and two other reporters spent several months interviewing survivors of a major airline crash.I read this book after Fair Warning and although there was a reference to the The Poet it did not spoil the enjoyment of the book. Sean had been investigating the homicide of an attractive young woman and it was assumed by all the failure to track down the 'doer' had contributed to Sean taking his own life. In truth, though, the author doesn't begin to inhabit the character of Jack McEvoy in the same way and to the same depth as he does the character of his more noted series protagonist, homicide detective Harry Bosch. Una de las cosas que más me gustan de haber llegado tarde a esta serie es ir viendo la aplicación de las nuevas tecnologías al método policial.
