The Overlook

Rating: 9

When Ed McBain died a couple of years ago it meant that everyone else on the list of awesomely great living police procedural writers moved up one spot.

For my money, there was wide gap between McBain’s spot atop the list and the number two… which isn’t saying that that number two was a slouch. No, Michael Connelly isn’t a slouch by any stretch of the imagination.

In this roundabout way I’m trying to say that Connelly now holds the spot sadly vacated by McBain on July 6, 2005. Big shoes to fill and he did it again with aplomb.

THE OVERLOOK is fantastic!
