Although I am a avid reader, I had never read anything by Michael Connelly until mid July. Since then I have read ten of them.( 2 Haller; 2 McEvoy; and 6 Bosch ) There are a whole lot of things...
Angels Flight is another solid entry in the Harry Bosch series. It's got an interesting but very slow first half. When the second half of this story starts, look out. Connelly takes his readers...
This is only the third Connelly book I have read, after reading Echo Park and City Of Bones, I decided to go to the beginning of the series. Bosch is a Vietnam vet and a highly skilled detective in...
The story is fine but half the length of the unabridged Audible.com version. Many books can be improved by being abridged, this was probably not one of those.
By now I think I`ve read most of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch books, and this one is right up there with the best of them. Now retired from LAPD, Harry rolls back the years to tackle an unclosed...
I found this book had too much "tell" and not enough "show". At times I felt like I was reading a police file with every little detail set out for me. There were even several full length, 2 to 3...
I have attempted to read two previous Connelly books, and listened to the audiobook version of this one for my local book club. Connelly tells this story of the retired Harry Bosch working a cold...
I first read these novels as new releases from our local library. They are so good they deserve revisiting from time to time, and this is a great way to always have Harry around. These...
The Harry Bosch Novels (both volumes 1 & 2) introduced me to Harry Bosch and Michael Connelly. These are great police procedural stories as well as very well done mysteries. I could do with a...
With 9 Dragons releasing in a month or so I've been going back and reading all the Harry Bosch novels I missed. Though I still have a couple to get to, I have to say that Trunk Music has so far...
"He's trunk music now. You won't see him no more."
As is usually the case, Connelly delivered another fast-paced thriller, full of twists and turns (and I really mean FULL of them), and that accomplished the goal of keeping my interest in the...

Well written - what took me so long to pick up Connelly??
Synopsis
Jack McEnvoy is a journalist who specializes in reporting high profile murder cases and he is good at what he does. When his twin brother, a Denver homicide detective, is found...
Avoid the Jack MCEvoy books - stick to the Harry Bosch books
In Michael Connelly's LA crime series (Black Ice, Echo park, the Overlook, and others) you have detective Harry Bosch. Bosch is a cop. He solves crimes. He's on the inside from the moment he gets...
Not being familiar with the quality of conventional thrillers, I'm in no position to judge the merits of this book in relation to its competition. It's certainly not highbrow literature, but it...
After finishing The Narrows, I realized it was the 16th book I had ready by Michael Connelly which means I have read more books by this author than any other. Fans of Connelly will understand the...
I read The Poet and was entralled by Connelly's plot, character development, and writing style. The Narrows, however, has none of the magic of The Poet. This novel seems rushed, and the "twist"...
This book didn't pass my 50 page rule. If a book doesn't grab me in the first 50 pages, I give up. The whole story was "telling" which is always boring. I think Connelly has run out of plot idea....
In this book, we learn that the redoubtable Harry Bosch has been given a reprieve of sorts and recruited to the so-called Open-Unsolved Unit tasked with reworking cold cases. Bosch and his partner...
I would have given the book at least 4 stars, but in the end, one murder was just left untouched. We know who did it, but it was never stated in the book, therefore left with loose ends.
Though The Last Coyote may not be as great as the book its following, The Concrete Blonde, it's got one hell of a great ending that I think pushes *the experience* of reading this ahead of that of...
Great book - but what kind of hardbound book is this?
This is a great book (as are all Michael Connelly's books). This version is a big disappointment. It is listed as a 1st edition hardbound book - but it appears to be a mediocre quality reprint -...
This is a nice book but the end of this novel leaves you wondering. My precise point is that the ending doesn't make a whole lotta sense. Sure, he finds the perp, but it doesn't explain the other...

Harry Bosch's third series book, THE CONCRETE BLONDE, is the best of the growing series. Reading the first two books (THE BLACK ECHO and THE BLACK ICE) allows this book to take a form that builds...
If this is his best, I don't want to read his worst
I'm sorry to go against the average opinion on this book but I found it extremely boring, at least till page 200 or so! Everytime I'd open it and try to read it I got sleepy eyes. What's up with...

Read the description of the used condition of the book, ordered, shipped immediately, received immediately, exactly as described. Would not hesitate to use again.
This book started with a great premise: a cop's murder is made up to look like a suicide. It slows down to a snooze inducing drag by 2/3, and the big DEA showdown in Mexico becomes so stupid that...
Another one of Connolly's books where all the answers are given in the last couple of chapters. I want to have insight into the characters and plot as I move along. I have read most all of the...
