"I had trouble putting this book down. It isn't great literature, but I wasn't reading if for that purpose. It was a great crime story though and kept me guessing and intrigued from prologue to epilogue. Now I'm ready to see the film.... " — Debbie (4 out of 5 stars)

" Good for a couple of short stories with a baseball being a part of them. "
" Two short stories, one by Elmore Lenard and the other by Michael Connelly. Both stories were excellent. I've always enjoyed Elmore, I think I've read everything he has written. If you enjoy baseball, these are written around baseball. "
" Just a "slice of life" - no focus, no plot, no interest. "
" Genre novel, done well. I'd seen the movie, so that may have helped fill in some background and imagery. OTOH, seeing the movie did spoil the suspense, so perhaps that balanced out. "
" Better than I thought. Parts of it felt pretty accurate. "
" Wanted to read this before I see the movie! It was fast-paced and a quick read. "
" Didn't get anything done until I finished it! "
" page turner with a twist at the end that i didn't see coming! "
" Good mystery - I have read other Michael Connelly books in the past and am looking forward to reading more. "
" This is my first time reading anything by this author, and I was very impressed! Fabulous page turning thriller. I'd recommend it to anyone, and am curious to see the move. "
