Bosch

When I read the Det. Bosch series, I always think of Humphrey Bogart playing the part.

"The Night Fire" by Michael Connelly

In this book, Connelly has combined the characters of his three successes. Bosch, Ballard and Haller, working at times together, at other times working alone. It all ties together in the end to produce a great novel. Personally, this is be one of my favorites.

Review: The Narrows (Harry Bosch, #10) by Michael Connelly

This story moves Bosch along in his life, pointing out that he has struggles like the rest of us. Of course, he is stubborn and ill mannered as usual. It brings together people from past stories, giving the author a chance to tie up loose ends. In the end Bosch is back to square one.
I did not like the mix of first and third person. Sometimes I stumbled when it changed direction. Enjoyed the visual imagery of disasters. The first half was slow but the second half went at full speed.

From: The Narrows (Harry Bosch, #10)

I love this paragraph.

"Somewhere in the south, I don't remember where, we stopped for gas and there were two water fountains on the side of this service station. There were signs, you know. One said white and the other said colored. And I just sort of went up to the one marked colored because I wanted to see what color the water was."
