Was great to return to Connelly after a long time. The Poet was remarkably different from the Bosch books, yet, familiar all the same, and was oddly welcoming towards the end, when the plot takes us to LA. McEvoy not being a cop feels very restricted and powerless, however. Yet, he still manages to pull some impressive tricks.
