Connelly's Slipping?
I love the Harry Bosch character. But this book does not do him justice. I just got the impression reading this that it is not as good as earlier Bosch novels. Maybe Connelly should have pensioned him off and left it that. It seems that...

Could have been terrific, but it was just mediocre
This is a tough review to write. The plotline was very good, but the shortness of the book left me wanting more of the old Harry Bosch. I missed the melancholy time in front of the stereo at home pondering the case, his life, the problems with...

The Overlook
There is no such thing as a bad Michael Connelly novel. The Overlook does nothing to change that fact. Harry Bosch is once again the central character & FBI agent Rachel Walling is around again. The novel is shorter than most of M. Connelly's,...

An Excellent Crime Thriller
Michael Connelly strikes once again!! "The Overlook" is a crisp, well written crime novel that grabs the reader quickly and does not let go until the end. The story takes place in less than a day, and in many ways feels like an episode of "24."...

Solid Plot
Shorter than the usual Connelly-Bosch combination, but just as rich. The plot is taut and requires Bosch's terrific power of observation, gut instincts and relentless ability to stick with the facts. Maybe not as layered as some other Connelly...

Overlook
A friend loaned me my first Michael Connelly book & I have been "hooked" ever since....The detective Harry is so much a caring person but with romantic & bureau problems & yet he survives & gets the job done.
