Review of 'Narrow Dog to Carcasonne' by Terry Darlington.
I was loaned this book by one of my marina mooring neighbours. We live part of the year on a narrowboat and love the life, I enjoy boating and all that it entails and when at home occasionally watch 'Water World' on Discovery channel.

Advantages: A brilliant chilling thriller, a must read Disadvantages: Ending just seemed a little forced
THE NARROWS
MICHAEL CONNELLY
INTRODUCTION
Book sequels are notoriously difficult. It seems very hard to produce one successfully without falling into the rehashed old plot twists and warmed-over characters that usually cumulates in a paler version of the first book.
?The Narrows?, however, has not fallen into these traps it is a great ending to the dark world of lurking evil glimpsed in its forerunner, ?The Poet?.
The Poet was Connelly?s evil creation-- a shadowy cop killer notorious for staging false suicides and leaving a sombre line from the poetry of Edgar Allen Poe at the scene, scrawled by the forced victim as a farewell note.
?The Narrows? is from Michael Connelly (former police reporter for the Los Angeles Times). It is his 14th novel and features Harry Bosch and FBI agent Rachel Walling ...
