52. The Poet by Michael Connelly

This is a crime thriller, written from the point of view of a crime reporter for a Denver newspaper whose police officer, twin brother is found dead of an apparent suicide. As he digs deeper into the story, trying to find the answers as to what happened, he gets caught up in an FBI investigation into something much more complicated and sinister.

I thought this was "oaky" - not really sure how it made this list at #52 though. It's reasonably well written but formulaic and a bit slow in the middle. It's a beach read in my opinion, not a great work of literature.
