Los Angeles - Malibu. The MC lives at Paradise Cove where we had a wonderful lunch in November.

It‘s been a while since I got into the Bosch Universe, so I have skipped about 10 titles with this one. But because of the streamed version, I‘m feeling up-to-date.

Reading Akin has brought back memories of our stay in Nice last year. We visited many of the places mentioned. And I just realised we were staying only a few minutes from the Hotel Excelsior!
This photo was taken on the roof of the MAMAC, in the reflection you can see the hill MC Noah climbed to visit his grandparents' grave.

Ruthiella I love it when I can read about places I‘ve been to and can recognize in the text. 😃 4mo
Jeg Things I have read in books have taken me to many places not only in my head but in real life. Eg, Burial Rites took me to Iceland. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil to Savannah. Love your pic. 4mo
