Sólo por eso pierde puntuación. Aunque no es la razón principal . Y es que para mi ha sido en definitiva, un thriller del montón. Yes, in reality people still get away with murder. I don’t know if that will ever change. But I have come to realize that the line between reality and the created world of a novel is thinnest when it comes to human feelings and desires. It is easy to take those across the line, traveling from fiction to reality. And so I have learned that it is important to take care in the fictional universe of your own creation. It is important to remember that the darkness into which you may banish a killer can travel. It can cross that line. I don’t want that to happen. In that respect I look at The Narrows as a story that is long overdue. Quizás demasiadas expectativas. Quitando que me parece del montón, mi problema fueron los personajes sobretodo el protagonista.

Harry is a loner and prefers to usually work alone as a one-army-man. He has issues with authority and anger issues, most probably due to his traumatic history couples with his also traumatic experiences in Viet Nam (he was injured a few times and got the Purple Heart as a result). Not surprisingly, he has symptoms of mostly untreated PTSD. As a consequence he is not horrified by violence or crime, which he considers a sad but normal part of life.High Tower Court: What it's Like to Live in the Famous Hollywood Landmark from the Long Goodbye". 21 July 2011.

Bien narrado. Una trama dura y fría. Toda la crudeza de la trama que termina volviéndose tan ágil como adictiva. Pero no es lo mejor que he leído ni me ha soprendido ni de lejos, pero bueno, es aceptable. a b c "Michael Connelly". Powells.com. Archived from the original on 2011-07-15 . Retrieved 2012-03-08. Maybe Michael Connelly wanted a break or perhaps he felt his fans needed a breather. In any event, THE POET is a slight departure from his string of runaway success Harry Bosch novels. It certainly takes place in the same gritty US crime atmosphere - FBI agent Rachel Walling is even an import from previous Bosch novels - but McEvoy as a character is a little more grounded, a little more professionally certain of himself, a little less angst ridden, a little less sure of his relationships with the fairer sex and - well, just different than Harry! In short, he's a fine addition to the Connelly pantheon of fascinating characters and I'll certainly be looking forward to a return appearance in a future novel.Su descubrimiento hace que intervenga el FBI. Una de las agentes, Rachel Walling, personaje habitual en las novelas de Michael Connelly, desempeña un papel fundamental en la investigación, aunque finalmente el asesino consiga escapar. His immaculate plotting and gift for bringing procedural intricacies to life now seem as strong as ever…he writes the best detective novels around. (Charles Finch) He occasionally made guest appearances as himself in the ABC comedy/drama TV series Castle. [15] [16] Along with fellow crime authors James Patterson, Dennis Lehane, and Stephen J. Cannell, he was one of Castle's poker buddies. He graduated from college in 1980, following which he started working at various newspapers in Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Florida as a journalist, working mostly the crime beat.

After graduating in 1980, Connelly worked at newspapers in Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, primarily specializing in the crime beat. In Fort Lauderdale he wrote about police and crime during the height of the murder and violence wave that rolled over South Florida during the so-called cocaine wars. In 1986, he and two other reporters spent several months interviewing survivors of a major airline crash. They wrote a magazine story on the crash and the survivors which was later short-listed for the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing. The magazine story also moved Connelly into the upper levels of journalism, landing him a job as a crime reporter for the Los Angeles Times, one of the largest papers in the country, and bringing him to the city of which his literary hero, Chandler, had written. The Michael Connelly Harry Bosch books have earned so much praise that an entire novella could be written by including them all. So here are a few more interesting ones. Small appearance in the following novels: A Darkness More Than Night (2001) and The Brass Verdict (2008). Connelly has stepped up to the plate in the overflowing ballpark of legal thrillers and blasted a grand slam his first time at bat. (Chicago Tribune)Homicide Special", in The Drop (2011); written exclusively for copies of The Drop sold in Waterstones stores Además de un tema que a mi me da mucho asco y es una de las poca cosas que su lectura no me agrada, todo lo contrario, no me gusta leer sobre ello. Niños y ya os haréis una idea de a qué me refiero. There is a certain genius in Connelly’s writing talent that one is never sure how one is “supposed” to feel about anything in the book. There is no manipulation of emotions. He leaves it up to us, the readers, to bring our own sense of morality to the reading. While his investigative skills carry the investigation, the reader is never fully convinced that he is doing it for the right reasons. Is he doing all this to avenge his brother, or is he simply hoping to find that Big Story, the one that may finally get him a Pullitzer Prize and a higher-paying job as a staff reporter for a newspaper like the Chicago Tribune or the Los Angeles Times? At times, McAvoy seems like a good guy, just trying to clear his brother’s reputation. At other times, he looks like a self-aggrandizing asshole. Connelly refrains from making any editorial judgment.
