Hachette Audio is offering copies of Michael Connelly’s The Scarecrow on audiobook to three readers of She is Too Fond of Books!
Here’s a summary from the publisher:
Forced out of the Los Angeles Timesamid 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.
This 10-disc unabridged audio sounds like the perfect book for your daily commute, or a longer road trip! I haven’t listened to it yet, but I loved Connelly’s writing in The Brass Verdict, and I’m looking forward to many miles with The Scarecrow.
To earn an entry into the giveaway, leave a comment below letting me know if you’ve read anything else written by Michael Connelly; it’s OK if the answer is “not yet!”, maybe we’ll remedy that if you’re the lucky entrant!
Giveaway is open to US/Canada residents only, no PO Boxes, please. Comments will be open for entrants until midnight on June 19; I’ll announce the three winners on June 20.
I have not read anything by Michael Connelly but would love to try a new author on my commute to and from work. Please include me in your giveaway.
Thanks

Shoot. I know that the first commenter never wins. But I’ll take a chance. I loved The Lincoln Lawyer, which is the only Connelly I’ve ever read (well, listened to!). This is a standalone book, so let me give it a try! BFish[dot]Reads[at]gmail[dot]com
I really enjopy Michael Connely. The Lincoln Lawyer was great. I would love to win his new book. Audio would be great.
I would Love to have this audio! I have read alot of Connelly, primarily the Harry Bosch series. Those are very steady, always entertaining, consistently wonderful.

You can exclude me if that is an issue, or I can e-mail you my address just in case. Let me know! rnawrot at cfl dot rr dot com.
I have read all of the Harry Bosch series and love Michael Connelly. And McEvoy is a character that was one of his best books, The Poet. I like when you get to see characters again.

I’d like to enter! If I win, this would be my very first audio book.
I have, in fact, read several Michael Connelly books, my favorite being The Poet. It was actually the first book I read by the author. I thought it was intense and entertaining.

Hi Dawn,
Sounds like you had a wonderful time! I haven’t read anything by Michael Connelly as yet, but would love to.
I haven’t read any of his books. This sounds like a great mystery. Thanks for another great contest!
I have read many Michael Connelly books and loved them all. So, I need to listen to this one too!!! They really make traveling go fast. My husband and I both love his books.
I would love a chance to win this audiobook! I have not yet read anything by Michael Connelly, but I think that this might be the place to start!
I honestly have not read any of Michael Connelly’s book but I would like to introduce him to my hubby! Thank you!
I just started the book and I’m riveted…he’s easily one of the best today. I also saw him in St. Louis recently and he was truly fascinating. My wife and I are big fans!
I’d love to be entered! I’ve read The Poet, The Black Echo, and Trunk Music. I may have read more but all of them were a long time ago. I do enjoy his books. My husband has listened to some on audio, so I know he’d be interested in the audio as well.
Hi there Dawn
While I haven’t yet had the pleasure of his works, it would still be enjoyable to curl up and listen to the Audiobook (especially on a storm night like we just had last evening!)
Love Michael Connelly and have read The Black Echo as well as the rest of the Harry Bosch Series. I have never tried an audio book and would love to give it a go! Please enter me. Thanks..
Adore Michael Connelly. Am addicted to his writing. Have read The Black Echo, Black Ice, Cement Blonde, Trunk Music, Angel’s Flight, The Poet, The Narrows, The Lincoln Lawyer, Chasing the Dime, A Darkness More Than Night. … Due to financial issues, I have had to forego The Brass Verdict and The Scarecrow. And yes, he’s a great guy. Met him at a conference. Very humble, modest man. I would love this audiobook. Just love it!
I have not read anything by Michael Connelly but I am always on the look out for new authors and I have been wanting to try his work for some time now. jessica(at)fan(dot)com
Hi, No I have not read any of his books, but I absolutely love books & pick them up wherever I can find them & fill my house with them & read every day. I read all types of books & what can I say…the world would be nothing if we didn’t have our stories…I would love to win this audiobook & here his story. Thanks for the opportunity.

I have read most of his Harry Bosch novels.
Love him!
I like Michael – but have only read/listened to one other book of his – would love to listen to this one. I love the idea that the killer has a heads up on what’s going on to catch him/her (you never know!!). And I am definately a fan of thrillers and audiobooks!!
