I'm glad I chose Michael Connelly's Bosch series as one to read each month this year. Angels Flight is the short funicular railway in L.A. that hauls people up and down a very steep hill. Two murder victims are discovered, spoiling Bosch's childhood memories of riding it with his mother.

Here's My Review of The Hunter's Daughter by Nicola Solvinic. 5 Stars THE HUNTER'S DAUGHTER is a raw, gritty, all-consuming psychological thriller that is masterfully rendered - a unique jewel in the genre. It stretches boundaries with a well-crafted blend of thriller and mythology and really drives home the ramifications of trauma in early life. A Must Read in my humble opinion.
