Chasing the Dime
Chasing the Dime | Michael Connelly
The phone messages waiting for Henry Pierce clearly aren't for him: "Where is Lilly? This is her number. It's on the site." Pierce has just moved into a new apartment, and he's been "chasing the dime"--doing all it takes so his company comes out first with a scientific breakthrough worth millions. But he can't get the messages for Lilly out of his head. As Pierce tries to help a woman he has never met, he steps into a world of escorts, websites, sex, and secret passions. A world where his success and expertise mean nothing...and where he becomes the chief suspect in a murder case, trapped in the fight of his life.

I finished this one, and it occupied me during 5 hours of driving and a couple hours of flying, but I can't say that it's very good. It's ridiculously convoluted, characters' motives don't make sense, and people kept referring to key cards as "scramble cards," which was weird. I can't find any references to that usage online.

Brilliant mystery! Henry, newly divorced and at a new apartment, is doing all it takes so his company comes out first with a scientific breakthrough worth millions. But there are sinister forces undermining him. Unexpected twists! A stand-alone story, but had great pacing (and LAPD)

I stumbled on this standalone Connelly and couldn't resist despite the mediocre reviews. I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised! I think the trick is not to expect the Bosch/Haller/Ballard level of amazingness. A chemist on the verge of making a huge scientific breakthrough gets a new phone number, one that previously belonged to a missing sex worker. Driven by ghosts of his own past he's caught up in amateur sleuthing. 3.5⭐️

EvieBee Stand-alone? Sounds great! 3y
Bookzombie Cool! I don‘t think I realized he had any stand-alones. 3y

I was really disappointed in this book. I really enjoy The Lincoln Lawyer series, and thought I would try another one of his novels. I really wish I hadn't. I spent the whole time reading this novel thinking this would never happen! The only good thing is it didn't make it to my dnf list. ⭐

I generally adore anything Michael Connelly puts out but I have to say this is his weakest book. The story is rather formulaic and it‘s very easy to see how it will end.

You know how when watching a scary movie you want to scream out, “Don‘t open the door!”? I found myself wanting to do that same thing through out this story. Not one of his best. I also was not satisfied with the ending. I guess everyone has a dud every once in awhile.
