Nightshade
#1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly introduces a new cop relentlessly following his mission in the seemingly idyllic setting of Catalina Island.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Detective Stilwell has been "exiled" to a low-key post policing rustic Catalina Island, after department politics drove him off a homicide desk on the mainland. But while following up the usual drunk-and-disorderlies and petty thefts that come with his new territory, Detective Stilwell gets a report of a body found wrapped in plastic and weighed down at the bottom of the harbor. Crossing all lines of protocol and jurisdiction, he starts doggedly working the case. Soon, his investigation uncovers closely guarded secrets and a dark heart to the serene island that was meant to be his escape from the evils of the big city.

Dull characters, tedious dialogue. Nothing original here and hard to believe Connelly put his name on this mess.

I had to force myself to finish this book. I bought it based on Connelly’s name and regretted it about 1/2 way thru. It was a long slog, very loosely plotted and no momentum.

I enjoyed reading this book and getting to know the new characters and setting. The ending seemed abrupt; I would like to see all the dots connected and learn more about what happened to Dan, Leigh-Anne, Baby Head, Crane, Stil, and Tash. Stil reminded me of Harry Bosch and his relentless pursuit of the truth and disdain for lazy coworkers/ detectives and office politics.

Nice book with all the visual’s you’d expect from a Michael Connelly novel. As an Angelino growing up, I love his landmark descriptions. Great story and well developed characters. Looking forward to more of this storyline
