A review by pattiea
The Wrong Side of Goodbye by Michael Connelly

4.0

I really enjoyed the plot of this, but I was disappointed in the writing. It almost seemed like Connelly's hired a ghostwriter to flesh out the story, and the ghostwriter has a lazy habit overusing terms like "jumped," "grabbed," and "ended the call," when better word choices would have improved the writing, plus the annoying dialogue of Bosch and Haller calling one another "Broheim." Maybe Connelly has a new, weaker editor.
In any event, while the book was overall a good read, I constantly found myself annoyed by word choices that seemed more like a self-published book or rough draft than a polished, professionally published version.
