Kate’s 2¢: “The Law of Innocence” by Michael Connelly

“The Law of Innocence” by Michael Connelly

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   I’m amazed at how quickly this book was published. Mid-March, 2020, was when countries quarantined its citizens, mandated face masks, and other efforts to impede the pandemic spread of the Corona-19 virus. This book must have been written at that time to be able to refer to it; then, rush the manuscript to the publisher and hit the market before the end of 2020. I guess being already famous will give the writer a leg up.

   I enjoyed the story and, although, I’m not sure what was fact and what was fiction, the whole thing is scary  to think of the nastiness that happens.  On second thought, look at the siege of the U.S. Capitol Building  on January 6^th!

   Peter Giles did a good job of reading this story for the NLS. Thank you.
