I'm looking forward to The Scarecrow. Mike Connelly is one of my favorite author.

I was curious about Vanished. I read Joseph Finder's Power Play and didn't like it one bit. Vanished and Power Play both got great reviews but I quit on him after Power Play because I thought the writing was very elementary. If you finished Vanished will you please let me know what you think.

I have on on reserve at the library. It's been getting a lot of reviews. Once I get it I'll only have 14 days to read it. I think the book is like 700 pages long. Somebody mention to me that it's supposed to be a trilogy.
