The Dark Hours by Michael Connelly
5.0
Connelly lays bare the bureaucracy of policing as he tackles Covid, the insurrection, Black Lives Matter, and defunding the police while spinning a thriller that resurrects a cold case, uncovers corrupt cops, and showcases how doing the right thing is not always consistent with the CYA mentality of the LAPD.
Ballard and Bosch collaborate effortlessly, like a Vulcan mind meld as they go after a duo of rapists and two murders lead to more tied to a financial syndicate of, can you believe this, dentists.
Lots of action and come to Jesus moments for Renee as she encounters rampant careerism and peers doing the minimum. A righteous ending where she too appears to leave LAPD with an exit much like Harry’s. Additionally the reader is left wanting to see what’s next for Renee Ballard. She’s got some intriguing choices to make, personally and professionally.
