Query: A Cut & Paste Job

I suppose that either there's such a demand for Michael Connelly's books (and justifiably so), or he had some sort of contractual deadline which required that he submit something to his publisher, but this is nothing but a cut-and-paste job consisting merely of a collection of his old newspaper reporting. I suppose this would be fine reading if you live someplace where newspapers are not available, but most of the material this book is no better than any other old news stories.What next? A collection of Michael Connelly's grocery lists?Obviously, this book is not worth reading, but if you've a taste for truly superb reporting about LA homicide detectives, the books to get areThe Killing SeasonandHomicide Special: A Year with the LAPD's Elite Detective Unitboth by Miles Corwin, a fine writer.
