Book 8 of 52 -- Michael Connelly's City of Bones



Mr. Connelly's Harry Bosch continues to be one of the most intriguing characters in crime fiction.

This story revolves around a set of newly discovered bones on a hill side in Laurel Canyon.

The bones are 20 years old and Harry sets about unravelling the mystery.

What sets Bosch apart is his depth and flaws.

Mr. Connelly's scores big in several ways.

First, is the depth he adds for all his characters.

Secondly, his crisp writing moves the plot along at a good pace.

Lastly, the touches of the police procedural are like no other writer that I have encountered in crime fiction.

His writing is addictively good.
