Negative Positive
Title: A master of the genre disappoints
Review: This falls far short of the very high standard Michael Connelly set with his fabulous early books Black Echo and Black Ice. Later efforts have varied in quality, and this unfortunately isn't one of his better ones.The pivotal piece of the plot is not even vaguely credible. Without spoiling it for you,the main character (a retired FBI agent) would have to be a complete idiot to respond as he does to the key "clues." A second key turning point is equally unconvincing.He is still writes well and can move the story, but one hates to report the decline in one of the best mystery writers.
