The Last Coyote by Michael Connelly

lavins's review against another edition

5.0

It was time for Bosch to tie up the loose ends about his personal long overdue investigation. It's beautiful and sad and exhilarating and scary to watch his internal struggle. It is raw and full of emotions and even though we are all rooting for him, we can all understand, identify with his downfall. It feels as if you get him and irregardless of his choice, we get it.

Old Michael Connelly is always chefs kiss. I am always blown away by his ability to create intense plot twists and turns.

Este es un libro más pausado y que tiene menos acción y tensión. Comienza fuerte, pero rápidamente se desinfla hasta más allá de la mitad. Sin embargo, la narración me ha parecido impecable (como en los otros tres que llevo leídos) y la investigación sigue siendo interesante con un final magnífico.

En resumen, creo que es un libro muy bueno y seguiré leyendo esta saga porque no puedo dejar a Bosch, pero en esta ocasión me ha aburrido a veces y me resulta imposible darle más puntuación.

Harry Bosch finds himself on administrative leave due to events from previous books (assaulting his commanding officer) and needs the approval of the department shrink in order to return to duty. So this is the perfect opportunity to dig into the cold case that is his own mother’s decades-old murder. The trail leads through a complex series of true detective work and Harry grows desperate enough to bend the law more than once. The journey becomes deeply personal as he confronts many of his own demons along with the wide-ranging plot that ended with his mother’s death so many years ago.

This is only the 4th novel in the series but it really feels like I have been riding along with Harry Bosch for far longer than that. Michael Connelly, I believe, is among the very best of crime fiction writers working today and for that matter, all writers of fiction period. His work is thoroughly engaging and his characters and plots are truly gripping. I’m sure with so much output he probably has a clunker or two out there but I have yet to read it. It’s always a great experience to read an author when he/she is at the top of their game, and this particular novel is a great example of that.

I’m so thankful I have so many Connelly books still to read and as for Harry Bosch, I’m sticking around for the long haul.
