Book: The Black Echo
Author: Michael Connelly
Stars:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch has been a LAPD homicide detective ever since he got kicked out of RHD by IAD after he was involved in the shooting of a suspect The Dollmaker. One morning, he gets a call-out on his pager. A body has been found in a drainage tunnel. As soon as he got there, he could tell that there was something wrong and when he recognizes the victim as Billy Meadows one of the tunnel-rats in his squad back in Vietnam, he can’t help but feel as if he is inclined to find out what happened.

Pitted against enemies from his own department, he is lead down a way where he figures out dark secrets hidden in the FBI and from his own past back in Vietnam.

This book was honestly INCREDIBLE. Harry’s personality is much more different than the usual detectives in other books. He is a gruff, and has a way of doing whatever it is that he wants without really caring much about what could happen.

I seriously enjoyed this book a lot and the last plot-twist was just chef’s kiss. However, the one before it was kind of predictable and I had predicted it from the first moment I met the character so, it didn’t come as a huge shock.
