lizabethstucker 's review for:
The Black Box
by Michael Connelly
L.A. Detective Harry Bosch was always haunted by the murder of a female reporter during the Los Angeles riots. Now he has an opportunity to work that cold case 20 years later. If he isn't blocked by others on both sides of the law.
I've never read a Bosch mystery before although I had been aware of the series. Although I am one of those people who usually reads in order, due to time constraints, I couldn't this time. This is the 18th book in the series. It is a selection of the Sony Readers Book Club which included a trip to Los Angeles to meet the author. More on that on a separate post.
Luckily, despite the fact that Connolly does build and age his character, there were no problems reading this and understanding who was who. Connolly's book very much reads like a television episode. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but did actually surprise me. Overall I liked the book. Will I read more? I honestly don't know at this point, but I would recommend this to people who like police style mysteries and hero characters who may not always toe the legal line.
