Book 2 of 52 -- Michael Connelly's Trunk Music


So far, I consider Trunk Music to be Michael Connelly's best.

The plot has so many surprising twists that even after you think you have it all figured out--you don't.

I despise predictability in a novel and Michael's books are never predictable.

With the Harry Bosch novels it isn't so much WHO did it as HOW and WHY delivered to you with breathtaking suspense and pulse pounding thrills.

I marvel at how Michael Connelly weaves together such inconsequential items as an uncashed gambling ticket, and a matchbook to reveal larger truths to Harry Bosch and to you, his readers, without spoiling the outcome.

Nobody or no thing throws Harry Bosch off the scent for long.

Trunk Music is pure magic and if this review helps put you on the path of millions of others who love Michael's books then I've done you a favor.
