Welcome to Litsy!

Couldn‘t put it down! Chilling crime fiction! MC Jack McEvoy, the journalist who never backs down, tracks a serial killer who has been operating completely under the radar—until now.

I find the McEvoy novels annoying because the main characters are always making the exact same mistakes. At least the twists in this one weren't quite as predictable as I'd worried they'd be. The narrator's accent for one of the characters was reminiscent of Kevin Costner in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, which was amusing but probably not the effect Connelly intended.

Now that I‘ve completed my two planned #FabulousFebruary books, I‘m jumping into #WeekendReading with four books at once...my usual chaos. 😆

The Elizabeth Peters title is for #Roll100, but the other three are slightly random. I‘m particularly curious about the Betsy Tacy books. I did not encounter them as a child.

I'm not as obsessed with Jack McEvoy as I am with Bosch, Ballard, or Haller, but still a compelling case that had a creepy edge. What happens when the DNA you've sent in to an ancestry site isn't protected as anonymously as you think? What happens when that data makes its way into the hands of a serial killer? 3.5⭐️

I‘m not the biggest fan of this genre written in first person, especially since Connelly usually doesn‘t in his other books. However, I thought the story was pretty decent, despite it not captivating me like some other stories. I never truly felt immersed in the story. Additionally, I felt the ending was anti-climatic & was tied up similarly like a Hallmark movie. The one thing I will praise this book for is basing Fair Warning off a real website.

When DNA mapping is misused to find victims by a killer, it raises serious questions about the need to know more, Science can corrupt as well. The pursuit of more knowledge can be dangerous as well.
Jack McEvoy is back in this novel with his trademark perseverance and the dogged skills of a seasoned crime reporter. Please read more from here https://rb.gy/j2vmyh Your visits are highly appreciated!

Read this one because my husband liked it. It didn‘t disappoint, fast moving detective thriller

My work bookclub pick.
This was between a pick and a so-so.
Not enough depth to the characters for me.

Bk3 of my #JuneBookHaul is a signed copy of the third Jack McEvoy novel. Jack is a crime reporter, used to writing about killers, until the night a one night stand of his is murdered and he becomes the suspect. Now he has to use all his investigative skills to find the real killer before he‘s put in jail himself.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 I love the journalist viewpoint and the chase for a serial killer. Ive read every Connelly book that exists and this was doesn‘t disappoint! Summer beach read perfection! Full review at ScrappyMags.com

This is the third book featuring Jack McEvoy, the journalist who first appeared in The Poet. It's been 10 years since he published a book and as the story opens he's writing for a consumer protection website when a past chance encounter draws him into a murder investigation. Jack is not a perfect hero, but death is still his beat and he's relentless in pursuit of the truth.

🎧 I really enjoyed this book. Jack was a little bit of an ass but that‘s my only gripe. As far as I can tell no Bosch! Good narrators. A solid story. A reporter, his female co-worker & his x-fbi/x-gf do some amateur sleuthing & end up with a serial killer. The killer has purchased DNA test results based on a gene which is an indication of addiction, female sex addiction. Poses ?‘s regarding privacy & security. Thriller recommendation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Great Connolly read as always. This one is Jack McEvoy - journalist supremo fighting the good fight!
Loved it and the interaction with Rachel. Great build up, heart was racing at the end.

#58 of my year. I can‘t even tell you how long I‘ve been waiting for this book to come out. I‘m so freaking excited. We finally have another McEvoy story and get to see what‘s going on with the Poet 😱 I met Connelly many years ago & he signed The Poet & The Narrows for me so you know I‘ve gotta get this one signed too 😄 if you haven‘t read this series you should stop whatever you‘re doing and go pick it up, it‘s one of the best

Did some excellent pre ordering today 😁😁
@MicheleinPhilly you‘ve probably already got the new Helen book ordered? Not long now!

Excellent so far...

It's a delight to spend time with Jack McEvoy and Rachel Walling again. FAIR WARNING is both a gripping mystery and an important reminder of the importance and power of good journalism. I only had two words when I turned the last page: well goddamn. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I actually squealed when my Edelweiss got approved and am so excited to start reading.
