The Concrete Blonde by Michael Connelly

4.0

I love a good mystery thriller but I'm not big into the 'copaganda' genre other than my man Harry Bosch. This was a solid well paced story that was nice to pick up in between chapters of some heavier stuff I'm reading. Published in 1995, it was also very of its time. There were some now cringey terms (like the constant reference to victims as "porno chicks"), mood and scenes taking place in the aftermath of the LA riots, and the fact that the whole ramp up to the climax wouldn't work if our characters just carried cell phones.
