The Wrong Side of Goodbye by Michael Connelly

4.0

As usual, I devoured this book.

The continuing story of Harry Bosch, Vietnam vet, murder detective, now private investigator. A tycoon calls for a private investigation with billions at stake, and a serial rapist is on the loose.

Can Bosch do both things and stay in touch with his family, such as it is?

Procedural with a few twists and a chunk of atmosphere. We get to learn a little about Vietnam via Harry's experiences there fifty years back, and something about the LA art scene. Electronics plays a bigger part in this story than ever, but still Harry's good old fashioned detective skills set him on the right path.

Michael Connelly knows how to tell a story, and this latest offering is an excellent example. The pace cracks along, there's always something new, and before you know it, the book is done.

Not quite so much of the brooding figure mulling over injustice while classic jazz plays over the Los Angeles skyline this time around, but I suspect that long time readers - like me - will just add that in automatically every time Harry unlocks his front door.

Well, what are you waiting for? Go. Read the book.
