The Fifth Witness (2011)

Mickey Haller has had to move into the foreclosure business since the great recession. However, one of his foreclosure clients is accused of murder and he steps in to defend her. This is a great courtroom procedural--I loved hearing about all the strategy. The client is super annoying, in a most ...

Book

The Gods of Guilt (2013)

This is the first Michael Connelly offering I have read. His Harry Bosch series has not intrigued me enough to give one of those novels a chance, but the Lincoln Lawyer series had struck me as off-beat enough to consider trying. And now I've read one. It's okay. The hero, Mickey Haller, comes...

Nine Dragons (2009)

#13 in the Harry Bosch series (it is #15, as listed on Goodreads, only if you include the two novels featuring lawyer Mickey Haller. In this entry, Harry leaves the comfortable confines of L.A. for the dangerous precincts of Hong Kong.Harry Bosch investigates the murder of a Chinese liquor store ...

Switchblade (2014)

I read "Switchblade" so fast I almost had to read it twice to make it last longer. It was really good and I hope Michael Connelly turns it into a longer book. Bosch is one of my favorite characters, and he didn't disappoint in this short piece, even when I didn't see the surprise twist. For its b...

Nine Dragons. Michael Connelly (2010)

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...

Nueve Dragones (2010)

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...

Mulholland Dive (2012)

A clutch of non-Bosch stories pimped out to fans of Connelly as a cheap download. I dunno that I'd resent these slender collections so much if there weren't a better alternative: Just gather them all together into a legitimate book. Why kick out four short digital collections? I might well have a...

Suicide Run: Three Harry Bosch Stories (2000)

Three decent short stories featuring the Harry Bosch character: Suicide Run, Cielo Azul, and One-Dollar Jackpot. The first and third are interesting procedurals with a bit of skill and twist. The second is a more hard-hitting psychological reflection - notable also for being a first person narrat...

Angle of Investigation (2011)

three short stories which have Bosch in them. The best was about the sax player. Good short stories. If you're a Harry Bosch fan you will enjoy.

City of Bones (2006)

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,...

The Closers (2006)

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...

The Poet (2002)

Some things are better left unsaid, so the saying goes.I personally disagree with that sentiment. While very few topics are considered “taboo” anymore, a few cultural taboos still linger; subjects upon which many writers still fear to tread due to its general unpleasantness. Cancer used to be tab...

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.

The Overlook (2007)

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...
