I liked it but it is definitely a book of a certain time. There's homophobia and transphobia and smoking and paternalism. It was interesting to read the first Bosch book, I've been a fan of the series for a while.
The dialog felt a little stilted at times.
I miss Maddie Bosch. I think she kept Bosch from being a total sad sack.
