Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have read all of Connelly’s books with the exception of the last Lincoln Lawyer novel, and I have always enjoyed them. I read the reviews for that one before purchase, and refrained due to the large number of reviewers stating that Connelly had turned political. I hoped he would not do that with Bosch/Ballard. He did. Connelly clearly now has an agenda, and included unverified reports (and a now-disproved one) about J6 as fact, while walking the tightrope to vilify one-half of the country, without actually naming them. Also, it is difficult to read more than 5 pages without being confronted with another statement along the lines of “Ballard raised her mask before exiting the vehicle” or “The other officers were not wearing mask, which frustrated Ballard, though she made no comment”. I read fiction to escape the ridiculous junk going on around us, not to pay for the privilege and waste my time with it being further shoved down my throat. As one commenter previously posted, I feel this book will not age well. I hope he eases up on the politics in future books, but it is probably more likely his path is now set in stone. I won’t know......I won’t buy another Connelly book.
