A review by ebbiebooks
The Burning Room by Michael Connelly
mysterious
tense
3.25
It felt a little bit like the book was trying to do too much at the same time, and while we were doing those other things, it seems the investigation didn't have enough space to expend properly.
I'm also not always sure if the authors is trying to tip toe the line of "this is not ethical, and it's written to make you feel uneasy" or "this is not ethical, but it should be because the ends justify the means". Like I'm never completely sure if Connelly is more than copaganda. Bosch is flawed, but most of his gray stuff are rewarded or shown as him looking out for others, etc. It used to be less uncomfy, but I cannot say yet as I feel it could have a larger implication a few books forward.
It was better than other volume in the series, but not top 10. Just ok.
