The Concrete Blonde by Michael Connelly
5.0
Another crowd pleaser - 5*
This book plays with me. I think I know the killer and so does Bosch, I confirm it to my family and then I find out that the person I originally thought was the killer was not. Ashamedly, I have to tell my family, I got it wrong again. Maybe I am very gullible but this book has me every time at the red herrings - I fall for them: hook, line and sinker.
Plot
This book had me gripped from the beginning with the court case that is questioning whether Harry got the right man when he shot Norman Church (the suspected Doll Maker). The Doll Maker is a serial killer who rapes and murders his victims by strangulation and then paints their faces with make-up, i.e. like a doll. This case is two years following the shooting of Norman Church and Harry Bosch is summoned to court. Life never goes swimmingly for Bosch so on the first day of trial, a new victim is found but there is a difference, she has been found in concrete!
This book is thrilling and exciting. A definite read for those crime enthusiasts (such as myself) and a great continuance in the Harry Bosch series.
