I'm reading... Michael Connelly


THE BLACK ECHO
Myfirst Michael Connelly book was The Lincoln Lawyer – I'm a sucker for a bookwith a movie tie-in! – and I enjoyed it to bits.  Thought the movie was great to.  So I decided to go back to the beginning of another Connelly series, beginning with THE BLACK ECHO.
Thisis the first of 18 – yay what a backlist!!! – books about homicide detectiveHarry Bosch and I loved it.  ItsHollywood setting focuses more on the seedy side of life in that part of town,with minimal nods to the industry that made the place famous.
Setin the early nineties there are moments it could feel dated but instead itfeels atmospheric, giving you a glimpse of a time when homicide detectives hadto fight over typewriters in order to type up their reports.
[image error] Nothingbetter than an author with a huge backlist and after grabbing the next coupleof books in the Harry Bosch series for myself for Christmas ;), I'm sure you'llbe seeing his name pop up here over the next year!
More about the author here.  Buy the book here.
Next I'm reading... AIN'T SHE SWEET by Susan Elizabeth Phillips.  What are youreading?  Which book MUST I read thisyear?
