Summary
His last assignment? Training his replacement, a low-cost reporter just out of J-school who couldn't find the police station if it was right next door to the Times, which it is.
But Jack has other plans for his exit. He is going to go out with a bang - a final story that will win newspaper journalism's highest honor - a Pulitzer Prize. He focuses on Alonzo Winslow, a 16-year-old drug dealer in jail after confessing to a brutal murder. But as he delves into the story, Jack realizes that Winslow's so-called confession is bogus. The kid might actually be innocent.

Like The Post its a good read.
Well read, good plot just The main character is so irritating! But that's the reason Connerly is so successful.

The Screcrwo by Michael Connelly
As usual this is a brilliant written book by the author. I find I can't stop listening to it. It keeps you in suspense right to the end.
I used to read hardcopy books but found audible are much easier. One can listen to them while walking to work or do the housework etc.

A Great Listen
I'm only around halfway through The Scarecrow at the moment, but am spending every available moment in my day I can breaking out the iPod to continue the story.
A great, modern crime story and superb narration from Peter Giles. Well worth a listen.

Scary and gripping
I usually have audible books as background to other activities but this one is so compelling it defies that plan and demands attention
I didn't expect that anything could be as good as the Harry Bosch stories but this is just as good
Wow I'm hooked and looking for more!

As good as Bosch? Maybe!
Same quality of writing. Good narration, I preferred this narrator to some of the Bosch narrators (except for Titus 😀)...

Addicted!
I couldn't wait to listen to the second part of the story. I had my earphones on while working and doing chores so within two days, the book was finished.
Time to go back to Harry Bosch books now.

Vintage Connelly
Superb - another outing for Jack McEvoy, who perhaps makes a more well-rounded, less cliched 'detective' character than Harry Bosch (much as I love him) - less cynical, jaded and commitment-phobe; and I think the novel benefits from that. The plot is taut, tense, thrilling and utterly chilling, very hard to stop listening to - many important jobs were put on hold while I was engrossed in it! The villain, to whom we are introduced very early on, is authentically psychopathic, yet intriguing and the narration is very nicely judged - one of the few audiobooks I've listened to where I don't recall wincing at narrative gaffes even once. Without question, this is for me a five star audiobook. I'm only sorry I've finished listening to it. Buy it!

Annoying end of chapter music
Please take away the stupid music at the end of chapters, so no needed and spoils the book

Good but not great.
Good story but a little predictable. I didn't like the ending felt rushed. What happens to Jack and Rachel? Hopefully we will find out someday.

Good stuff
Another well constructed and well told story. On very few occasions did I think this far fetched but neither was it remotely dull or in any way predictable.
This is the 4th book from this author I have purchased, yet to be disappointed.
