Library Journal
Even though Harry Bosch is nowhere to be found, Connelly has written his best book to date.
Book Magazine
Void Moon races with a wind-swept breathlessness that no other Connelly book duplicates or even approaches-a Porsche roadster at its limits winding its way down Mulholland.
Washington Post Book World
...a slick, highly professional thriller that does not disappoint.
Wall Street Journal - Tom Nolan
In Void Moon, the job's high-tech gadgets and split second timing ratchet up the tension. Michael Connelly's Void Moon is outstanding.
Jeffery Deaver, author of The Devil's Teardrop and The Bone Collector Void Moon is a high-stakes win! Author Connelly has dealt us lucky readers a rare hand - a lightning-paced thriller with a soul, a novel that takes us straight into the glitz and underbelly of Las Vegas and yet is populated with some of the most complex and captivating characters in suspense fiction.
