Summary: City of Bones was GREAT!
Review: This book was one of the best i have ever read. After reading this story I have decided that Michael Conelly is my favorite author. His style of writing in this book kept me on my toes throughout the whole thing. With every twist and turn that took place in the story i thought i had the answer to the mystery. I couldn't have been more wrong. Conelly makes all the characters look like they maybe could have had something to do with the crime, but then right at the end of the story he tells you who the true perpatrator is. I would definately recomend this book to some one who is in search of an awesome murder mystery.

Summary: A Shocker
Review: This is the eigth in the Harry Bosch series, and it was great. Once again assigned to a case that touches Harry's damaged soul, he works his way through this mystery all the while dealing with soul-searching questions about himself. I will not give too much a way about the plot, but this has quite a few twists and turns. Just when you feel that Harry will finally be happy, that idea is abruptly snatched away from you. And the final twist at the end left me gasping (partially from dismay).
An excellent read, I highly recommend it.

Summary: AUTHENTICITY + NON-STOP ACTION
Review: With "Blood Work" (1998 ) set to become a major motion picture and "A Darkness More Than Night" (2001) receiving plaudits one might think ace crime writer Michael Connelly would be resting on his laurels, film rights, and royalties. Not so. The energetic author now presents "City Of Bones," another in his bestselling Harry Bosch series.This time detective Harry Bosch faces off with a child murderer, a killer who has remained on the loose for nearly two decades. Once a dog uncovers what appears to be a human bone in the woods of Hollywood Hills, Bosch is called. It takes the savvy sleuth only a glance to realize this is a child's arm bone. Once the media spreads the word Laurel Canyon is crawling with police, amateur crime solvers, the curious, reporters, and (true to Connelly form) a gorgeous young police officer whom Harry takes under his wing in more ways than one. As additional remains are unearthed Bosch determines the bones are those of a long dead abused boy. Obviously, there's a killer out there who believes he's home free, and Bosch is haunted by black images of his own childhood. The pressure is mounting and it's all on Bosch. Few can bring to life the components of a police investigation as capably and thoroughly as former crime reporter Connelly. Authenticity and rapid fire action make "City Of Bones" another can't-put-it-down read. - Gail Cooke
