Three and a half stars.I like the Harry Bosch books. I don't read them all the time. It's been my experience that if I read novels featuring the same character back to back I become bored. It's like watching a long running series on television. It gets comfortable, but predictable. About once a y...

Engaging, exciting crime mystery with a wonderful feel good ending.REVIEWER’S OPINION:As I was listening to this book over a few days, I was always eager to get back to it. I felt like I was living an exciting life. I had feelings of hope, anticipation, and excitement throughout those days. At...
Maybe not quite 4 stars but again the 5-star system doesn't allow enough fineness, and 3 certainly is more wrong than 4.This book contains the first three novels of the Harry Bosch detective series, now apparently numbering 17 novels, by Michael Connelly. It got it at a deep sale price, designed ...
Another engaging and well done mystery in the series.REVIEWER’S OPINION:I am impressed with this author consistently writing such good stories. I’m happily doing one right after the other in this 17 book series. Most of my ratings are 4 and 5 stars. The main difference is the emotional feeling...

Too slow moving. Not as good as other books in the series.REVIEWER’S OPINION:This is one of the weaker books in the Harry Bosch series. If you want to read just a few of them, skip this one. Me, I intend to read them all, and I’m glad I read it. I did it as an audiobook, keeping me company wh...
READER'S SUBJECTIV REVIEW FOLLOWS:City of Bones is the first in my efforts to read Michael Connelly's dated novels of his considerable catalogue. Joe Pike and Elvis Cole, who I lump with Bosch because they're LA creations of Robert Crais, seem to be more on the cutting edge of interesting novels,...

And it comes quickly: a cop named Powers discovers a body in the trunk of a Rolls Roy...
I'm reading the books by Michael Connelly in order and only have 5 to go! Several of the last ones I've read have been a little to disturbing for my tastes, but "Nine Dragons" was wonderful. Yes, it was deadly, but it wasn't really disturbing like some of the others. And, I really liked that it b...
3.5 starsI applaud Michael Connelly for trying something new in this book. He let his main character, Harry, leave his comfortable life in LA to head over to Hong Kong in order to rescue his kidnapped daughter. As usual, his books are fast paced and this was no exception. I actually like pingi...
