Review of Michael Connelly's "Echo Park"

Michael Connelly's latest superb Harry Bosch novel, Echo Park, gets the full-length treatment from me over at the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Here's the money shot, for those who don't want to read the whole thing: "Among contemporary crime writers, Connelly is, quite simply, the best of the best."

For folks in the U.S., don't forget to set your clocks back one hour!

And the UK (clocks back an hour, that is). It makes interoffice meetings so much easier when the times are coordinated. (They aren't always.)

I'm waiting for the book to come out in pbk over here so will keep a copy of your no doubt excellent review to read after I've read it (I prefer to read reviews after I've read the book, if it is a book I know I'm going to read in advance -- am I weird?)

I'm with you, Maxine -- I usually don't read reviews until I've read the book first either. Too many times the review spoils the plot or my enjoyment of the book.

Unless I'm not planning to read the book. Then sometimes I'll read the reviews, just to see what people are saying.

I've been hearing so many good things about that novel, but I think you just sent me over the tipping point. Great review.
