I wanted to try an author I haven't read before and saw Michael Connelly on The Craig Ferguson Show. He was very humorous and the conversation was easy so I hoped that his writing style would be the same. I was not disappointed with this story. I felt that it developed well and I was satisfied at the end, although I had a suspicision of who the real culprit was from about the middle of the book. The main character of Harry Boush is a likeable one and I can't wait to keep reading this series. I would recommend anyone who likes mysteries and/or cop dramas to give Michael Connelly a try.

I have become a huge fan of Michael Connelly's writing, and this is the first Harry Bosch novel, which I cannot get at my local library.
For fans of thrillers, Michael Connelly is your man. He is a gifted storyteller, and this book introduces his "main" character, Harry Bosch. Harry is a complex man who can be your worst enemy or your best friend. He is the type of detective you would want investigating a loved one's murder; he is intuitive and insightful and will not be dissuaded if he is convinced something just doesn't feel right. As a fan of great writing and one who loves the thrill ride with all of its twists and turns, I highly recommend Michael Connelly.
