Best Duo Since Batman & Robin

The Night Fire by Michael Connelly

by Leave a Comment

Not much to say besides Michael Connelly has hit on a winning formula with retired cop Harry Bosch and Renee Ballard investigating cold cases. In this one, three of the cases the duo are working on independently (and one together) end up coming together. That’s the only thing I coughed BS on since that was too big a coincidence, but I was enjoying the ride to get there I just let it go. Connelly is showing his hands I think in this one with what […]

Middle of the (surface) road

Two Kinds of Truth by Michael Connelly

by Leave a Comment

Another installment in Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch series, this recent (2017) book follows Bosch through two plot lines: 1) the re-opening of an old murder file where a convicted killer alleges Bosch framed him; and 2) a recent double murder tied to the opioid epidemic. This was the fourth Harry Bosch novel I’ve read, and for the first 75 pages I swore I’d read it before (I actually flipped forward a little to see if I recognized the plot points).  I think part of déjà […]

Review #1: Nothing to Lose.  This is book two in the Ziba MacKenzie series. Ziba’s a profiler helping out the cops in London.  She’s called to the scene of a murder of a woman.  There was apparently another woman killed there just over a week prior, and they both somehow look like Ziba. She’s not one to freak out, but she’s a little unnerved. She’s also secretly investigating her husband’s murder, and someone or multiple someones are starting to catch on.  Ziba found a flash […]

What a Waste of Time

Void Moon by Michael Connelly

by Leave a Comment

I don’t want to even see the word “void” for a month. It’s repeated throughout this book and also moons are shown. I just wanted to finish this so I could count it to Horror Aficionados ABC Challenge. If it wasn’t for that, I would have DNFed this thing on Sunday. “Void Moon” follows Cassie Black. Cassie we find out through a long winding road is an ex-felon. She decides to take one last heist in order to get enough funds to kidnap her daughter […]

When you’re punished, you get bumped to the late show

This book is somehow the beginning of a series. If you ever read a review of mind before you know that I always start series in the middle, so it’s weird that I started this one of the beginning. Anyway,  This 1st book is about detective Renee Ballard, who was placed on the night shift, which is where the police officers go when they’ve misbehaved. Unfortunately for rene, she didn’t actually misbehave. She just accused her supervising officer of sexual harassment, and nobody backed her […]
