Welcome to Litsy!

This is a pretty straightforward Ballard/Bosch novel, with more focus on the younger Bosch. Touching on so many different cases and personal issues made this one a little challenging to follow sometimes, but it's still an enjoyable read.

I listened to the second half while cleaning my house for friends from out of state to come over. I had a lot of nervous energy, so a lot more things are clean than they were likely to see during dinner.

Los Angeles - Malibu. The MC lives at Paradise Cove where we had a wonderful lunch in November.

It‘s been a while since I got into the Bosch Universe, so I have skipped about 10 titles with this one. But because of the streamed version, I‘m feeling up-to-date.

Another great addition to the series- solving cold crime cases and getting the baddies! Unexpected twist in this one.
#serieslove2025 6/6 up to date in this one.

Hubby finished book, I'll read before taking back to the library. You can never go wrong with a Michael Connelly book, especially Ballard and Bosch...both Boschs in this book.

The great thing about a Connelly book is that a bad guy get caught in the end.Renée Ballard continues to grow as a character, and her unsolved crime team gets a boost when Maddie Bosch joins the team part time.Connelly always describes in detail, neighborhoods in the L.A. area that adds interest to the story. I loved getting distracted from current events spending the weekend enjoying this book. Bosch plays a lesser though significant role as well

“She liked waiting for the wave more than riding the wave.”

Yes , at least there is usually satisfaction in a Bosch Ballard book. The criminal gets caught. I need a satisfying ending this weekend.

Another excellent entry in the Renee Ballard series. When Ballard's car is broken into at the beach, she goes after the perpetrators, resulting in a situation more complicated than she could have imagined. Meanwhile, DNA evidence pops up that could break open a legendary cold case. Tension builds as Ballard navigates her management, the volunteers at the Open/Unsolved Unit and her off the books investigation. Harry Bosch would approve.

1. Last year I did not, but 2 years ago (on right) I did El Gallo from The Fantastiks which was a bit obscure (last minute!) This year I‘ll return to poodle skirt costume

2- Tagged is a bit creepy about the Black Dahlia murder 1947 Los Angeles and its copycats-a good mystery👏🏻👏🏻

The Waiting - Prequel to our Deep Dive Podcast…

This was a good read but nothing particularly new or groundbreaking for Michael Connelly. If you're a fan of the Bosch/Ballard universe, you'll appreciate the continuation of their stories...
