| "This magnificent effort is a reminder of why Connelly is one of today's top crime authors." (starred review) 03/30/2009 "Connelly...has the nerve and timing of a whole SWAT team...." - Marilyn Stasio 05/24/2009 "THE SCARECROW, a return to form for Mr. Connelly and his sharpest book since THE LINCOLN LAWYER, pivots energetically among its subplots, often returning affectionately to the newspaper world." - Janet Maslin 05/20/2009 "[A] headlong race to maintain narrative momentum. I mean that as high praise. Connelly is an excellent mystery writer...." - Thom Geier 05/29/2009 "[A] riveting thriller with a flawed, fully fleshed hero, a nasty serial killer and the expected page-turning tension..." - Connie Ogle 05/26/2009 "THE SCARECROW is a dire warning about the dangers of electronic snooping and a reminder of what we will lose if newspapers continue to fail. And it is a page-turning thriller--cleverly plotted, fast-paced and crisply written." - Bruce DeSilva 06/07/2009 |
