Story
Death is reporter Jack McEvoy's beat: his calling, his obsession. But this time, death brings McEvoy the story he never wanted to write - and the mystery he desperately needs to solve. A serial killer of unprecedented savagery and cunning is at large. His targets: homicide cops, each haunted by a murder case he couldn't crack. The killer's calling card: a quotation from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. His latest victim is McEvoy's own brother. And his last...may be McEvoy himself.

Story
Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense pro who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, to defend clients at the bottom of the legal food chain. It's no wonder that he is despised by cops, prosecutors, and even some of his own clients. But an investigator is murdered for getting too close to the truth and Haller quickly discovers that his search for innocence has taken him face to face with a kind of evil as pure as a flame.

Story
The man most hated by the LAPD - a black lawyer who has made his name by bringing lawsuits alleging racism and brutality by police officers - has been found murdered on the eve of a high-profile trial. The list of suspects includes half the police force. And Harry Bosch is the detective chosen to head the investigation. The political dangers of the case are huge. If it's not investigated fairly, the public outcry could make the Rodney King riots look tame. But a full investigation will take Bosch into the ugliest corners of law enforcement.

Publisher's Summary
The Scarecrow: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!
From the number one best-selling author of the Bosch series and the Lincoln Lawyer series.
"An addictive read that, once it grabs you in those first few pages, won't let go of you." (Boston Globe)
Forced out of the Los Angeles Times amid the latest budget cuts, newspaperman Jack McEvoy decides to go out with a bang, using his final days at the paper to write the definitive murder story of his career.
He focuses on Alonzo Winslow, a 16-year-old drug dealer in jail after confessing to a brutal murder. But as he delves into the story, Jack realizes that Winslow's so-called confession is bogus. The kid might actually be innocent.
Jack is soon running with his biggest story since the Poet made his career years ago. He is tracking a killer who operates completely below police radar - and with perfect knowledge of any move against him. Including Jack's.
Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.
What the critics say
"Connelly continues to discover new depths to his character and new stories to tell that reveal those depths in always compelling ways." (Booklist, starred review)

Another great “listen”
The book, twists and turns, made for a great story. How does Connelly come up with his ideas ? Every book is a new adventure. Peter Giles made each character come to life. The diction was always clear. Thanks to Mike and Peter.

The Scarecrow
I enjoyed everything about this book except for the background music. It’s just not my thing. I will avoid buying books with this strange background music in the future. I personally felt it added nothing but annoyance to the production.
Story was great! I’m definitely a Michael Connelly fan!

Another enjoyable Michael Connelly read, but...
The story is really good; this is one of my favorite authors and I am enjoying this series. However, in this second book on Audible there are all these background noises & music played and while some might not notice or care, I find it very distracting and unnecessary. Wish there was a way to turn it off because the narration is fine otherwise.

Great story- but this is not a new one!!
Audible redid an old book. I bought it thinking it was a new Michael Connelly.. It was not. In fact I’ve read the book in the past so the story was familiar. Rather disappointed!

Love the book, classic Michael Connelly. Great narration but the " immersive musical soundtrack" was awful and a big distraction. Will avoid audiobooks with Booktrack in the future.

I love this author. I've read many of his books. I was excited to listen to this book but was very disappointed. It drug on. It wasn't very exciting. The narrator was poor. I just didn't like it.

Fantastic Work on Mental Disorders
Starts out slow, then builds. Unlike audiobooks with music background that distracts, this edition is like listening to a modern day radio show. The music adds to the story. Keeps your interest until the end. Don't give up on it!

This format has music!!
it's my fault for not knowing what the "booktrack" version was. turns out it means they play music in the background. to me it ruins it but the book itself Is great, Giles reading is great, music in the background is annoying.
