bailed#unpopularopinion I just can‘t get into this one. The personal lives of the detectives feel like needless distractions. I don‘t care about the case. I know it can‘t be as easy a solve as the current set up, so there has to be a big twist coming, but I find that I simple don‘t care. Plus, I almost cried when I saw how much of the book I had left to listen to. That‘s never a good sign.

pickIf you‘re looking for an excellent mystery with suspense, betrayal, and corruption, I highly recommend The Ruin by Dervla McTiernan. It‘s the first installment of the Cormac Reilly Mystery series. I purchased the audiobook from Audible. I loved the beautiful narration by Aoife McMahon. I could listen to her all day!

pickI messed up, I read this Bosch out of order.Still enjoyed it , but I didn‘t read the intro book for Renee Ballard that comes before this one too. 🙄The one before this one was used on the TV series , so I know what happened anyway, unless they changed it. 😄Ballard & Bosch work well together after their initial suspicions wear off. Another cold case murder & a San Fernando gang related investigation.
This was a great mystery - loved the main character so much I‘ve requested the first book in the series. Happy to have found a new series to get into thanks to @kspenmoll and #auldlangspine
