A review by sevenworlds
The Last Coyote by Michael Connelly

4.0

A crucial book in this series, as it gives a very detailed and intense look at Harry Bosch's motivations, ego and mental state and processes.

The tone is exceptionally dark, even compared to the gritty L.A. street reality reflected in the other series novels. Bosch is hell-bent in this book, and you don't know whether to hurt for him greatly or to smack him upside the head.

Although it's priceless to know Bosch's back story in this much detail, this novel was honestly a little too bleak and depressing. Bosch doesn't make things easy for himself AT ALL, and now I understand why, but dang, this was sad.
