I read this for a book group – I would never have picked it up on my own. I do like crime/detective novels, but I don’t read them much since I like some other genres more. I was really glad to have read this one. Mr. Connelly is a very polished writer, and he did a nice job getting me to keep turning pages. I often find this genre to be pretty cerebral, and pretty easy to put down when you’re tired or swamped with workish stuff and non-fiction, like I often get. While solidly in the genre, I found Lost Light to be touching and entertaining. It’s an older book that came out in 2004, but it’s still in print and easy to find on store shelves. I feel like I found a new, excellent writer.
