so-soBook 3 in Harry Bosch series. Too many red herrings and boring details.
pickThe 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
pickI'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!
pickFantastic! 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! ??
#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.
pickThe 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.
Starting day 2 of the #24B4Monday and the sixth day of the #ReadingRush Readathon with the fourth section of this group read. Only my third one in the series but loving this one, my favourite of the series so far if it maintains the standard.
With overnight and morning reading I am at 536 pages and 9 hrs 59 mins reading. Day 6 of the #ReadingRush Readathon and am at 1152 pages, with 4 books finished.
Schedule for the a Group Read of The Concrete Blonde by Michael Connelly, the fourth book in the Harry Bosch Universe. The group read is taking place on Librarything.

pickBook #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.
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐
Maybe not my favorite of the Bosch series, but it was still an enjoyable one.
51% into this book, and I think this is around Harry's 978th cigarette. I'm starting to feel like I can smell them.
#MusicalNewYear #CellBlockTango I did read this one , the 3d Bosch book, and loved it ... must get back on track with Michael Connelly.....
This is the first connection with the prompt I made ... it makes some kind of abstract sense to me 🤷🏻♀️
pickLast 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.
pickBook 3 of the Harry Bosch series that I've recently started to read. Thoughly enjoyed this book and Bosch is a very likeable character. Looking forward to the next instalment "The Last Coyote"
pickI 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.... 😬
pickI 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.
1. 82 women led by my hot ass #fantasywife Cate Blanchett, walked the red carpet together at the Cannes Film Festival in solidarity for gender equity.
2. Cranky ass LAPD detective finds himself in hot water AGAIN.
3. Literary fiction.
4. Rainy and gloomy.
5. HA! I don‘t even know what I‘m having for lunch!
#HumpDayPost
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.
#FriYayIntro @jess.how
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 🎉
5 I surely will 👍
#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.
pickMy third Harry Bosch & my favourite so far. Connolly had me guessing right up to the end. I love the depth of Harry. Think it's time for a walk now, having just finished this brilliant book 👍👍❤️
Yes, summertime & the living is easy. Enjoying Harry Bosch & the dollmaker case.
Reading in the garden. I love Harry Bosch, he brings his own history to his work. The depth of humanity he has for those he encounters, he has a conscience, thank god for that.
pickMy 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.
