Hubby finished book, I'll read before taking back to the library. You can never go wrong with a Michael Connelly book, especially Ballard and Bosch...both Boschs in this book.

This is another great Harry Bosch novel with lots of twists that kept me turning the pages until the end. I liked that his love interest from The Black Echo shows up again. That was a pleasant surprise! I love Harry's lingo and expressions and they keep me chuckling to myself.
pickI actually finished a book, first one in days. This book has sat on my physical shelf for years so helping clear off my TBR
This was an overall enjoyable story, possibly a soft pick, but at times I felt it was overly convoluted & therefore the book was longer than it needed to be.
A few personal surprises for Bosch along the way. I find that whilst I enjoy the Bosch books it gets a bit boring with the runs in with Internal Affairs #SeriesLove2024
pickThe great thing about a Connelly book is that a bad guy get caught in the end.Renée Ballard continues to grow as a character, and her unsolved crime team gets a boost when Maddie Bosch joins the team part time.Connelly always describes in detail, neighborhoods in the L.A. area that adds interest to the story. I loved getting distracted from current events spending the weekend enjoying this book. Bosch plays a lesser though significant role as well

“She liked waiting for the wave more than riding the wave.”
Yes , at least there is usually satisfaction in a Bosch Ballard book. The criminal gets caught. I need a satisfying ending this weekend.
pickQuick catch-up of 3 recent crime reads
The Monk - another enjoyable George Cross mystery in which the repeated question is why anyone would kill a monk. George is a great character.
The last remains-the final Ruth Galloway. Im sorry to see the end but a satisfying finale.
The Narrows- return of the poet + the tenacious Bosch is drawn into the search for this master villain who is back from the dead,+ as always Bosch and the fbi cross swords.
pickAnother excellent entry in the Renee Ballard series. When Ballard's car is broken into at the beach, she goes after the perpetrators, resulting in a situation more complicated than she could have imagined. Meanwhile, DNA evidence pops up that could break open a legendary cold case. Tension builds as Ballard navigates her management, the volunteers at the Open/Unsolved Unit and her off the books investigation. Harry Bosch would approve.
1. Last year I did not, but 2 years ago (on right) I did El Gallo from The Fantastiks which was a bit obscure (last minute!) This year I‘ll return to poodle skirt costume
2- Tagged is a bit creepy about the Black Dahlia murder 1947 Los Angeles and its copycats-a good mystery👏🏻👏🏻
