The ending just disappointed me a bit as the actual 'Poet' turned out to be someone whom we got to know throughout the book, but there were no clues as to why this particular person turned out to be the Poet. I still don't understand the motivation as to why this person became such an evil human being, maybe it will be explained in following books? All in all, a page tuner from beginning to end. (  ) ilsevr1977 | Mar 30, 2023 | It is so easy to compare a book to others by the same author, and when I do this for The Poet against the Bosch series, I find it doesn't give me the same enjoyment. You see this a lot in people's reviews of books or music, for that matter for authors/musicians ..... this isn't really the right thing to do, but it is hard to avoid. That being said, this is a very good book. Some nice twists and turns .... my initial rating would have been 3 stars based on the blurb above, but I think it is really a solid 4 star book .

It is interesting, though, to read back to how things were in the 90s when cellphones weren't ubiquitous and internet was dial-up. Looking back it's almost funny how the characters are like, "Wow, people can use the internet to network and share pictures?" (  ) ImperfectCJ | Aug 24, 2022 | no reviews | add a review

FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HARRY BOSCH AND LINCOLN LAWYER SERIES. An electrifying standalone thriller that breaks all the rules! With an introduction by Stephen King. Death is reporter Jack McEvoy's beat: his calling, his obsession. But this time, death brings McEvoy the story he never wanted to write--and the mystery he desperately needs to solve. A serial killer of unprecedented savagery and cunning is at large. His targets: homicide cops, each haunted by a murder case he couldn't crack. The killer's calling card: a quotation from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. His latest victim is McEvoy's own brother. And his last...may be McEvoy himself. No library descriptions found. |
