Finished: The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly
I enjoyed this book. Was nice to read a non Bosch book, however, having said that, I missed the way Bosch thinks & speaks. He's so clinical in a police way, if that makes any sense. The way that Jack approached things & the way Bosch does are very different. And so Michael Connelly is able to make his characters different. Which is a fantastic skill. So often, when authors write within the same genre, the charcters seem to turn into cardboard cutouts(and this is the case with another author, who I can no longer read, as her books are so formulaic and cardboard cutout - despite varying seetings, that I can predict the ending and who will end up doing what within the first chapter. Add to that, most of the characters are completely one dimensional). With Michael Connelly, thankfully, that is not the case. The books are so well written, that it seems as though you are actually reading about their lives, rather then a fiction book. Add to this, I love the way he weaves the characters together. Characters that appear in Harry Bosch books get their own books, as is the case with this book. Love, love, love it.

I wasn't expecting this to be out for a while, but was pleasantly surprised to discover it at my local Dymocks! YAY!
