Harry Bosch, it's so good to spend some days with you again! I've missed you. Connelly has turned out another terrific read. How he keeps Bosch fresh and avoids the pitfalls of some series authors/characters is admirable. His characters are growing over time. Bosch is developing new skills and trying out new ways to move through his work.
I think another reason Connelly's books stay fresh is that he continues to tackle current events. In this book, not only do we have two compelling mysteries, but also an exploration of the oxycodone epidemic. Although the two mysteries are both well done what really engaged me was Connelly's treatment of the oxycodone epidemic.
I don't want to say much about this----doing so might spoil some of pleasure of the read. I found nothing in the novel to detract from my enjoyment!
