Thrills, Spills & Chills, Courtesy of "The Informat
Micheal Connelly takes us along for a light-hearted romp through the average computer which, frankly, scares hell out of me! I will never regard my laptop again as I did before reading
"The Scarecrow"! No more "Facebook", no more "My Space", no more nothin'!(Okay, I'll keep "Yelp" but that's it.) It was nice that MC would "air-out" his drawer of unused characters and let some of the "oldies" hold sway for a while, besides, I'm guessing Harry and Mickey welcomed a little vacation time from the usual, frenetic literary whirl. Besides, who better than a reporter to stand with outstretched middle finger held high towards Mirror Square? I've known more that a couple of "L.A.Times" reporters, big guns, too, that lend credence and credibility to the "paper's" portrayal in this new offering and wonder at the author's restraint! When not sparring with the "Times", Jack is at loggerheads with the F.B.I.(and on again off again girlfriend Rachel Walling)and once again demonstrating why other law enforcement organizations will tell you how "F.B.I." stands for "Famous But Inept" but I'm not here for spoilers, just to tell you that "The Scarecrow" is a weekend's pleasant, thrilling and scary diversion, one you should order up today!
