It's why I've dragged my feet returning to the series. The stories are tough!

I'm starting Divided in Death

[Jonetta]

I finished Dirty Secrets by Karen Rose, Romantic Suspense #4.5, and this short story read like a big book. Here's my review.

I'm now reading What Remains of Heaven by C.S. Harris, Sebastian St. Cyr #5, my new favorite series.

[Laura]

I just finished . I'm sad to say that for me this was the weakest book in the series so far. I guessed the who right away but not the why. The mystery was interesting, but Tess and Aiden together were blah. I'll say more next month.

Another good one. Some extraordinary scenes you're gonna want to talk about.

I just finished listening to The Torment of Others by Val McDermid, Tony Hill/Carol Jordan #4, and loved it! It was great getting back to the series. Here's my review.

I'm now listening to Trunk Music by Michael Connelly, Harry Bosch #5, and I'm so glad to be back to this series!

[❆ Crystal ❆]

YAY.... Back to Harry Bosch. Enjoy!

I'm 38% and now I can safely guess what you meant. I'm not a fan of the books that spend too much time in her past. I hope it won't be too difficult to read.

[Jonetta]

Oh, there's more.

[Mary Beth]

I am reading Payment in Blood and The Chemistry of Death

Big welcome, Ellie! Be sure to read How the group works so you're up to speed quickly.

Enjoy!

Welcome Ellie! I have just seen that you live in Ipswich, Australia. My mum lives in Ipswich :-) I moved from Australia to the UK over 17 years ago.

This is a great group for finding awesome books.

Thanks so much for the warning. It may help to buffer the blow.... and I may have to do some skimming. We'll see. I stopped last night at 44% last night and won't be able to read more until later today. I have a bunch of errands/chores and work to do so I'll be listening to my audiobook most of the day today.

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

Welcome, Ellie.

[Lauren]

Welcome to the group Ellie.
Yes, adding books is a common problem in this group :0)

[Jonetta]

I finished What Remains of Heaven by C.S. Harris, Sebastian St. Cyr #5, and my head's still spinning! Here's my review.

I'm now reading A Necessary Evil by Alex Kava, Maggie O'Dell #5.

There was a lot to think about with book # 5. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I actually had to make a list of the twists and revelations.

He's great! I gave this one 5 stars. I hope you enjoy.

[Laura]

Not a series but I finished . Very intriguing mystery, which I was sucked into right away. I gave it 4 1/2 stars.

Thanks Laura, I just put the audiobook on hold at the library... There's only 3 people ahead of me so it should be soon enough.

[❆ Crystal ❆]

Thanks. I hope so too. :-)

[Jonetta]

I enjoyed that one, too! Very different type story. Would have loved listening to it.

[Veronica]

I finished The Black Echo , my first experience with Harry Bosch. Is this the first book? GR says it is but the repeated mentions of the Dollmaker case make me wonder if there's a short story prequel or something out there. Anyway, I really enjoyed it and like Harry as a character. I could have done without the romance aspect of it but I guess it ended up having a purpose. I'd like to get a few more books in the series under my belt and then check out the tv show - though the first episode doesn't seem to be about the plot of this book. But I like the actor who plays Harry.

Yes, this is the first book and it's Connelly's style to reference earlier stuff that he later revisits. SO glad you liked it!

[Veronica]

Well, shoot. The Dollmaker case sounds really interesting. I wanted to read more about it! But if he revisits it later, after the fact, then I guess that'll have to do. lol

I hope to catch up to the series group read but this was such a densely plotted book - in the best way - that I don't know if I'll be able to manage it. These are thinking books!

[Jonetta]

They are definitely densely plotted, some of them with so many red herrings you have to keep your wits about you. The stories are the most excellent procedurals and you will sometimes think you've missed something before Connelly comes back and delivers the backstory.

I'm wild about Harry and am listening to the series.

[Veronica]

Definitely agree about the red herrings. The twists in this one had my jaw dropping.

[Lauren]

Veronica, the first season of the Bosch TV show is based on book #3, #8 and #12. I've decided to wait until I've read up till book #12 before continuing with the show.

[Veronica]

Thanks for the info, Lauren. That seems to skip around quite a bit. Are the plots for those particular books tied together?

Did you like the show, what you saw of it anyway?

My library has the audiobooks but I have been reading them. Do you like the narrator?

[Jonetta]

❆ Crystal ❆ wrote: "My library has the audiobooks but I have been reading them. Do you like the narrator?"

I love the narrator, Dick Hill. He IS Harry.

[❆ Crystal ❆]

I may have to give it a go. I have a tendency to go back and look things up as I'm reading Harry Bosch. I may have to check out both types so I can look things up if I need to.

[Jonetta]

If it's any help, I maintain the character lists for each book with the book discussions.

[❆ Crystal ❆]

Jonetta, My library shows Len Cariou as the narrator for Harry Bosch. At least the next book in line for me.

[Jonetta]

Ooh. Might have switched.

[❆ Crystal ❆]

Len does the later books. I tried a sample of Len in Nine Dragons, not sure it's for me.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I know how it is to get attached to a narrator. Once you've put a voice to a series, it's impossible to convince yourself anyone else can do. It looks like Len narrates a handful and then a different narrator toward the end of the series.

[Jonetta]

Well, looks like the book I'm listening to is Dick Hill's last. I went through the rest of the series and Len and Peter Giles narrate the series until the last three. The really great news is Titus Welliver, the actor portraying Harry in the series, narrates the last two books and probably all going forward. I LOVE his voice.

I listened to samples of Len and Peter and both have good, sort of gritty voices that seem to work. Titus is exceptional and feels like Harry.

I'm going to miss Dick Hill but I'm glad to learn this now before I load the next one and get surprised. I'll just savor this last one:)

[❆ Crystal ❆]

Thanks for the heads up! It looked to me like Peter Giles narrates the book that mingle with Mickey Haller. I didn't make the connection about Titus Welliver.... I may have to listen to the last 2 books.

Enjoy this last narration by Dick Hill. :-)
