It’s been awhile since I’ve read a Harry Bosch story and I’m glad that I’m finally forcing myself to get back into them. They take a little more time to read than a Patterson, but I still love the character.

Angels Flight starts off instantly from the beginning with high tension, setting the stage for the entire feel of the book. A very well known attorney who spends his time suing cops is found dead with an unknown woman. Bosch and his team are brought in to investigate for more reasons than anyone is willing to admit. But underneath it all, Bosch finds himself trying to solve two mysteries or more from this one incident that has him risking his entire career. Meanwhile, his once happy married life is suddenly finding itself on the rocks and Bosch feels like he’s about to loose everything.

This was a very good reentry into the world of Michael Connelly. I very much enjoyed this story and look forward to seeing where the next one picks up.

Another great Harry Bosch story. After about half way, I didn’t want to put it down - I just had to know where the story was leading and how it would end.

I’m really enjoying the series and looking forward to reading the next book!

Harry Bosch and his team are called to a crime scene - two people have been killed on a tram in an area of LA called Angel's Flight. What surprises Harry are the numbers of police who are already on the scene. He soon finds out that a high profile lawyer and activist is one of the victims - Howard Elias is most well known for suing the LAPD. He is about to bring a big case to court the following week. Bosch thinks this must be why Elias was killed. The court case involves Michael Harris who was suing the LAPD for torturing him while trying to get him to confess to the kidnap and murder of a young girl, Stacey Kincaid. The FBI is also called in and Bosch gets them to look into all of Elias' past court cases to see if there are any red flags. Harry and his team re-investigate the death of Stacey Kincaid. The whole time the investigations are going on, Harry is dealing with issues in his personal life, his friendship with his former partner Francis Sheehan, and the powder keg that the city is becoming. I'm liking Harry Bosch more and more as this series goes on.
