A Darkness More Than Night by Michael Connelly
5.0
Harry Bosch takes a step back as focus while he takes part in a major trial. Meanwhile Terry McCaleb takes front and center stage to a gruesome murder mystery.
At first I was disappointed to be reading a Harry Bosch book and he was barely there. Then I realized it was all apart of Michael Connelly's brilliant planning. Connelly never begins a storyline and doesn't continue to run with it in subsequent books. It's similar to the way a comedian says a joke in the beginning of his set. Then uses it once or twice during the set. Then uses it as a closer. Only what Michael Connelly is doing is using a whole series of books to do it. It won't be until I finish all the Harry Bosch books (and any new ones he publishes from this moment on) that I complete the set.
Although this is the second favorite of the series so far, I caution those who cannot read about murders involving sexual abuse to not read it..it's brief enough that you will live, but so gruesome that it will leave a footprint on your heart, even though it's fiction.
