La bionda di cemento
La bionda di cemento | Michael Connelly
Harry Bosch u poliziotto scomodo, uno che non scende a compromessi. Neanche quando la posta in gioco la sua libert. Seduto al banco degli imputati, questa volta deve difendersi dalla terribile accusa di omicidio. Ma soprattutto deve ritrovare la certezza di non aver ucciso un uomo innocente.

Book 3 in Harry Bosch series. Too many red herrings and boring details.

The Concrete Blonde is quite a twisty book. Every time both Harry and I thought we knew who the culprit was, we were wrong. It was pretty windy outside today, but there was no rain. I have no idea why that AC⚡️DC shirt was in the woods. It looks like a flag. #audiowalk

I've read other reviews suggesting that this is the book where Connelly hit his stride with this series, and I'm tempted to agree. The characters seem to be becoming more natural and Bosch is really developing into a complex person. I might recommend this series to my dad, who's a contemporary of Bosch and might appreciate the character and the stories.

#savvysettings #courtroom In the third Bosch , we get the background on Harry getting sued by the widow of a man he shot , thinking he was a serial killer , thinking the perp was reaching under his pillow for a gun ,the guy was reaching for his toupee.This is where we first meet feared attorney Honey Chandler nicknamed “Money “ based on her courtroom wins.

#MayCharacters 1. Murders. The Concrete Blonde was my introduction to Michael Connelly and Harry Bosch. After reading most of his murder mysteries he remains one of my favorites. This paperback copy is one of my most cherished books.

Hoping to keep up with a daily post for this fun photo challenge. Thanks Sherri and Misty!

Fantastic! In previous books you're told about the serial killer that Bosch had shot, and this book delves into that backstory. Further complicated by the discovery of a new body that fits the MO. Did Bosch catch the wrong guy? So many layers - courtroom drama, active investigation, red herrings. I absolutely inhaled it and stayed up way too late last night playing the "one more chapter" game. Only the third of the series but the strongest so far!

"Every 25 years or so the city had its soul torched by the fires of reality". This book was originally published in 1994, and here we are 26 years later. So this reference to the LA Riots gave me a chill.

Side note: I'm on to the third Bosch novel and I can already tell it's gonna be the best one yet! ??

AlaMich Bosch is a great series! Unfortunately, once I started watching the TV series I didn‘t continue reading them. 4y
swishandflick @AlaMich does the series cover the earlier books? I definitely want to watch it but might wait until I'm further along with the books first 4y
AlaMich It does. Although it doesn‘t follow them to the letter, and I remember something about the writers combining elements of two books in one season. If I wait long enough I won‘t remember anything and then I can go back and read the books. 😂 4y

#20series20days Day 16. I love this series for many reasons. Harry Bosch is complex and flawed. It is one series I share with my dad and I met Michael Connelly at an author signing back in ‘95.

The third book in the Harry Bosch Series and this is by far the best one so far. Loved this book - having a mixture of a serial killer, a relationship for Harry and a great court case. Totally recommend this to anyone who enjoys great crime fiction. Onwards to book 4.

bookishdawg Connelly‘s Bosch series is an auto buy for me... one of the few that continually improves 👍🏻 4y

Tove_Reads Only read the first one, need to get back to this series 4y
Tove_Reads Just checked GR. You‘ve already read it 4 years ago, but great that you still enjoy it! 4y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Yes read the first 4 in the series and am reading them as part of the Librarything Group Reads of the series. Soon be onto new books. Reading it a second time was still very enjoyable and I didn‘t remember who the killer was! 4y

Book #3 of the Harry Bosch series. I enjoyed this one better than the last and Harry‘s love interest followed him into this book too. Since I‘m familiar with some of the backstory in later books I keep waiting to find out when he gets with Eleanor and has a kid etc. I feel like a lot needs to happen quickly. I‘ll admit though that my memory of the books may be tainted by the tv series which blends some of the cases/stories.

Last night i just had to finish this - the third in the bosch series and i wonder if its the best, if not i can't wait to read the rest. Great courtroom drama with Boach trying to reconcile his actions of 4 years before with the possibility that he made a mistake when the murders seem to being repeated.

I think this is my favorite one in the Bosch series so far!! I literally couldn‘t stop listening to it! I don‘t usually listen at work but for this one I just couldn‘t limit myself to the car and #audiocoloring! I keep saying that I‘m going to wait to get more in the series, but instead I keep buying extra Audible credits.... 😬

I ADORE Harry Bosch. Michael Connelly is a doggone genius with the police procedurals.

This one took me a while because it has plenty of courtroom scenes and they‘re a little boring to me. I got *really* into it probably about halfway thru.

Ahhhh, The Dollmaker Case! I DIDN‘T GUESS THE KILLER! I mean, I never guess twists, so I‘m not surprised. But that ending was great.

🎧This Bosch audio is again narrated by Dick Hill. Phenomenal, as always.

Spent entirely too much time this weekend binging Bosch on Amazon. Since my brain has been all sorts of frazzled during the work week, I‘m going back to the source material.

AlaMich The wife and I just finished the newest season. Connelly has written enough Bosch books to keep the series going until Bosch has to sell his amazing house and go into assisted living, but I wonder how long the show will really last. 7y

1. Has to be Michael Connelly, & Harry Bosch. I‘m getting to know Bosch , And because I really like him , then that‘s comforting.
2. I think I more or less like all Christmas songs
3. We have started Chris Kindle in the last few years. But everyone buys for the one & only princess granddaughter 💕
4. No goals I‘m happy to read away at my own pace , 4 books this month !! An all time high 🎉

#MelodiousMusicals #Omigodyouguys #legallyblonde Thought I'd go with The Concrete Blonde by Michael Connelly, which is the third book in the excellent #HarryBosch Series. This is the only book I've read with blonde in the title, but I do own and want to read Dirty Blonde by Lisa Scottoline, who is a blonde herself.

My fourth Harry Bosch and they're growing on me all the time. The prose is spare and yet occasionally achieves its own kind of poetry, the dialogue pitch-perfect and Harry is a protagonist it's impossible not to root for. The whodunnit aspect is expertly handled and left me guessing till the end. Recommended.
