Connolly has always been one of my go-to books every year the day it comes out. I was a little surprised with this one. Didn't give it a five star rating.
The writing is solid but the story structure didn't work for me. Usually a novel will have multiple linked story lines that coalesce for a dynamic ending. This book has three plot lines but are independent of each other. If you remove the transitions, each story line would be an independent novella. Each one is interesting and worthy of its own novel. Because of this the timing of the three different stories skew the novel's timing.
Also, to me the main character was a little gruff to others and was never endeared to the reader. The book reminded me of the ED McBain 86th precinct books.
