Another winnerConnelly just keeps turning them out, I don't know how he does it but he always has a good story and knows how to tell it so that you can't wait to turn the page.
This is another in the Bosch series and it tells a little more about what made him into the man he is.
A Gripping StorySo far this has been my favorite Harry Bosch novel to date and I like them all immensely. In this novel not only do you get your usual police work that you come to expect from this series but you also get some courtroom drama as Harry is on trial for violating a killers civil rights. Michael Connelly is really developing the Harry Bosch character expertly and I find the books impossible to put down. I like these books so much that I really dread the day that catch up with the series or Michael Connelly decides to end it. In the meantime if you are looking for a well written engrossing police procedural, check out the Harry Bosch series.
And the hits just keep on comin'If you've never read a book from the Harry Bosch series - do so in order, starting with The Black Echo and then the Black Ice. Connelly's development of story lines and characters builds with each book. The Concrete Blonde is the third in the series and, so far, the best of the bunch - but for its full impact, read the other two first. You will be very happy you dove into the Bosch series. This is great crime and detective writing and story telling. Bosch is quite the complex individual, but others around him are also built by Connelly with depth. As for the stories - as you would want, they are filled with twists and turns all the way to the very end.
THIRD HARRY BOSCHLoved the first one. Thought the second book was better than the first. Now CONCRETE BLOND, best of the three!! These Harry Bosch books are old but certainly not outdated. Great stories with outstanding characters. Bosch is some detective. This book deals with events four years back and now. A serial killer named the Dollmaker shot dead by Harry is back killing again and Harry is being sued for the Dollmaker's death. Great court room drama and police work. Very HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. On to book #4.
The bestMichael Connelly is the best in this genre. After reading all Harry Bosch books several times, I have reached a conclusion that this is the pinnacle of the popular Harry Bosch series. The characters and plot are so realistic, you'd think you know them in person. I can't complement enough about this book. I keep buying his new books but they are somehow sterile and processed compared to his earlier work. Here in this book, you can smell the odor of the LA street, porn shop, courtroom and Bosch himself.
