Back on the job after an involuntary leave of absence, LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch is ready for a challenge. But his first case is a little more than he bargained for. It starts with the body of a Hollywood producer in the trunk of a Rolls-Royce, shot twice in the head at close range - what looks like "trunk music," a Mafia hit. But the LAPD's organized crime unit is curiously uninterested, and when Harry follows a trail of gambling debts to Las Vegas, the case suddenly becomes more complex - and much more personal. A rekindled romance with an old girlfriend opens new perspectives on the murder, and he begins to glimpse a shocking triangle of corruption and collusion. Yanked off the case, Harry himself is soon the one being investigated. But only a bullet can stop Harry when he's searching for the truth . . .

I actually finished a book, first one in days. This book has sat on my physical shelf for years so helping clear off my TBR
This was an overall enjoyable story, possibly a soft pick, but at times I felt it was overly convoluted & therefore the book was longer than it needed to be.
A few personal surprises for Bosch along the way. I find that whilst I enjoy the Bosch books it gets a bit boring with the runs in with Internal Affairs #SeriesLove2024

I enjoyed this one. It helped that I was really in the mood for something that was quick to read and didn't ask much of me. The twists in this one are silly but not distractingly so, and the love scenes are both but thankfully go by quickly. I hope Connelly grows out of some of his favorite sex scene cliches soon. And with as few cases as Bosch has that actually go to court, I'm starting to side with the Internal Affairs people.

Grabbed this audio for a little drive time.My friend has read all the Bosch books in order. @swishandflick has been reading them too. I really enjoyed the plot twists and recognized many of the L.A. locations.I can understand why people love the series .If I went back to L.A. one of my first stops would be Musso & Frank‘s

I had a harder time staying engaged with this case, and it took me a lot longer to read than usual, but I'm pretty sure that had more to do with life stressers getting in the way than it did the book itself. I appreciate that we're introduced to some new characters and that we revisit a past character who feels pivotal to Bosch's personal story line. I love this series so much and I hope my attention span comes back soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Head to pull out my Bosch bookmark for Connelly!

I enjoyed this, the fifth entry, into the Bosch series.

This was my January #doublespin but I just got it in from the library!

Book #5 of the Harry Bosch series. This was a good story, lots of twists...and most importantly, Eleanor came back into Harry‘s life. The TV show is good too, but doesn‘t follow book by book and instead pulls things in from different books and re-frames them a bit. I remembered most of these from. Serious tv episodes but was great to read it in the original format. Harry & Billets relationship comes together here too...important for future books.

You have got to love Bosch as he finds himself drawn into investigate a body found in the boot of a car with potential organised crime connection. Flitting between LA and vegas he has to deal with gangsters, fbi agents,internal affairs, and of course troubled relationships with women. Addictive.

Mitch I‘ve just started watching season 6 on Amazon. I love this series! 5y
andrew61 @Mitch I've not seen it. I might give it a go although have my own idea of bosch so im not sure whether it would spoil that image. 5y
Mitch @andrew61 I know what you mean. I love the city in the TV show - it‘s a character all of its own and the photography is beautiful 5y

Bk9 of my #MarchUnshelfing #challenge is done. I assume ebooks that have been waiting on your ereader are counted? There‘s a few Bosch books I‘ve missed on reading coz they were “borrowed” without my knowing. This is why I don‘t lend anymore. At least I have the ebook. Bk5 of the Bosch series has the detective catch a murder that involves Vegas, the mob & undercover FBI. All of the early books are great, it‘s obvious Connolly loves L.A👮🏻‍♂️🏄🏻

marleed I have a ‘reading room‘ lined in IKEA bookshelves - I love owning books I love. I‘m not sure a book I‘ve loaned has ever been returned. But now... I have one shelf I call my internal LFL. I donate from that shelf and encourage company to select anything they want - from that shelf! 5y

Audio-stitching today. I'm looking forward to getting to the Bosch books that Titus Welliver narrates. Dick Hill does a decent enough job, but I think it'll be better read by Bosch himself.

Another good book in the Harry Bosch series. I might be bias as I just love Bosch but I am really enjoying them and would highly recommend reading the series, if you haven't started already.

This fifth installment of the Bosch series is a little bittersweet to me because it‘s the last one that the talented Dick Hill narrates... so I‘m glad this twisty plot that starts off with a corpse in the trunk of a Rolls Royce ends so satisfyingly! I‘m going to take a break- not from #audiocoloring but from the series for a bit!

Currently reading this with the last of the winter sun shining into the car. Even though it was difficult, not to mention painful(falling down stairs with a bung knee i dont recommend!)its been worth it to see the grandbabies have a ball on the quad bike & buggy, also getting some fresh air & sun has been awesome too. Now going home to collapse in bed with my anti inflammatory cream, heating pad & some lovely painkillers💊💊

TrishB Take care 👍🏻 6y

After reading I‘ll Be Gone In The Dark, its given me a craving for California Crime Noir so I‘m doing a reread of the Harry Bosch books in anticipation of the new release in that series coming in October(I have a signed first edition preordered!)It‘s been so long since I‘ve read these(20yrs for this one)it‘s like reading a new book. That‘s what I‘m telling myself while my #MountTBR stares at me. Please stop looking at me!!

DGRachel That TBR can be so judgmental! 🤣🤣 You do you and read what makes you happy now. (Says the girl currently reading new library books while her bookshelves judge the heck out of her🤣🤣) 6y

Gotta get that signed 1st Edition! Another #goodwillfind for $3! I‘ve never read Connelly‘s work, but I do have a friend that collect his books. (Though I have watched all seasons of Bosch on Amazon) I think I‘ll pick it up as a gift for him.

This was my first Bosch and although it somewhat spoiled the first one for me it got me hooked on the series.
