I've read all of Connelly's books (except the short stories) and I based upon reviews I waited until I didn't have any more to read before I downloaded this one. It was a struggle to finish it, and I read The Drop in one day. I suppose if you are a Connelly fan you should read it just to say you did, but don't expect it to keep you up at night. Some of the things that the "good guy" does are simply not believable - no one is that stupid. Oh well, waiting for the next Bosch book.
