Michael Connelly: Fair Warning (2021, Grand Central Publishing)
paperback, 416 pages
Published Feb. 2, 2021 by Grand Central Publishing.
Third Jack McEvoy novel as he gets drawn into a murder investigation as he had prior contact with the victim. And the story spirals out from there, as he gets back in touch with Rachel and sees common threads between many more deaths. Very engaging, the spark between them, and his compulsion to think about the story he wants to write first are all part of it.
Damn, I enjoyed this book. Definitely my favorite Connelly from the last few years, alongside the first Renee Ballard book. Connelly writes crime novels exactly as I like them and I eagerly await the new book each fall. This year we get spoiled with two books coming out.
What I enjoy so much in Connelly's books is the puzzle that is being solved, mixed with some nice action. Characters are great and mostly act like adults. Normal adults with flaws. And the villain is not some invincible, perfect genius. He makes mistakes. The story, too, was good. It's about DNA, privacy and IT security without being ridiculous about it (coughDan Browncough).
Recommended for everyone who enjoys a good puzzle being solved by mature characters.
