The Scarecrow

Unlikeother authors who don't have Connelly's talent, he doesn't have tomake his stories so convoluted that you can't even understand them.He also doesn't resort to having the villain be one of theinvestigators as so many other authors "cop out" and do. Hewrites a clear-cut story from start to finish and it's always one youcan't put down. I always comment that I read very few books in agiven year that would get a "10" rating from me. In themystery/thriller category, this is one for 2009, a "Big 10".The only other two books in this genre that I've read this year andhave also received a "10" rating from me were The LincolnLawyer and The Brass Verdict. Surprise, surprise, they were alsowritten by Connelly. This is obviously one satisfied fan.
