Editorial Review: 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.
Reader Reviews for Chasing the Dime: Customer Rating: Summary: I'm a big fan but This is His Worst Book Comment: Connelly is the real deal. Great writer. I've read every book and although this one is still very readable, it is my least favorite. Customer Rating: Summary: A real disappointment. Awful! Comment: I've liked Connelly in the past. He's the closest we can get these days to the likes of Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, or Ross Macdonald. The Bosch series is decent. This book is the worst Connelly I have read by far. The negative reviewers have about covered it. If this was your first Connelly, and you said "never again", try a Harry Bosch. They're a lot better. Customer Rating: Summary: Michael Connelly Comment: I read so many books they tend to run together, I also like long reads. I won't read anything less than 400 pages. This book doesn't stick out in my mind as wonderful! Lots of repeating himself with the title..I get it Mr. Connelly Customer Rating: Summary: Fun Read Comment: Maybe the negative reviews are from die-hard Harry Bosch fans. Granted, the catalyst for the plot was unrealistic. But the book moved quickly and was a fun read. Customer Rating: Summary: Overwhelming Forward Momentum on Narrative Comment: This was a guilty pleasure, a perfect weekend reading. I couldn't put the paper book down. Connelly, seemingly an undisciplined writer, has a gift for the narrative that's utterly captivating. The reason I opine that he's undisciplined is his near-constant use of "like" as a subordinate conjunction ["It looked like (sic) she was outright crying now." p. 210], the idiotic use of "clip" for magazine in a semi-auto pistol (p. 401), and even a discombobulated sentence. Here it is on P 3: "People who [sic] he would want to be able to reach him at any time, almost all of them business associates or business associates he also considered friends." Having said this, Connelly is now on my short list of writers to look to when in need of a fun, fictional romp. This was my first book of his, which I picked up at the dump for no charge, the front cover having been ripped off. What a wonderful ending, Mr. Connelly! Thank you!
