Why read it?
1 author picked The Overlook as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a departure from the chase aspect; in this case, the book deals with the investigation of a murder, which turns out to have international terror connotations.
The investigator is Connelly’s Harry Bosch, which as far as I’m concerned, makes it worth reading. It’s discovered there is a terrorist aspect with a time limit, which increases the suspense.
The suspense is a feature of its own, but I also liked the interactions between the characters.
From Ray's list on going on the run.
