Incredibly cliched and the twists were seen from planets away but I still had tons of fun reading it! ( )

A few months back, the LA Times sent me an email about an upcoming interview with Michael Connelly about his recently published,"The Night Fire".
The first I heard this author's name was at the LA Times Festival of Books several years ago when I overheard someone in our ticket line praising him and explaining that his locations are local.
It was only with this email announcement though that I realized the tv series, "Bosch", that I'd since watched in it's entirety, was based on Michael Connelly's books. The books the lady in line had raved about. I'd read his "Lincoln Lawyer", so I was familiar with him, but hadn't realized he'd written the Bosch series.
We couldn't attend the interview, but I jumped on Audible and used one of our credits to procure the yet to be published "The Night Fire". "But wait." says I. "I can't read the most current one when I haven't read any of the others. Just because I've seen the series on tv, isn't reason to assume I'm caught up. So I began with this first one and of course we loved listening to it. It's narrated by Dick Hill, whereas I am pretty sure the newest one is narrated by the actor who stars in the series. I thought I might be disappointed by a someone other than the series actor, but no. Dick does a fine job. ( )

Didn’t want to like this book because it started with my least favorite trope, good guy relentlessly pursued by false accusations. However, I got hooked and I have to say the book was excellent ( )

Well, this was the first Michael Connelly -book for me. Strange that I have not bumped to him earlier because I really like these sort of crime detective novels. Well, better late than never, as they say.

The reason behind finding these books was Jo Nesbö and his Harry Hole -series. I listened all Harry Hole -audio books and really liked them. I also loved Harry as a main character. Harry Hole is middle-aged alcoholic rock fan. That's the type of hero I like.

In one interview Nesbö said that his main influence was Michael Connelly and Hieronymus Bosch -series. So after reading that I immediately crabbed this first book in Bosch -series.

And I did really liked it as you can see (4,5 stars out of five). Almost gave out five but I think the plot could have been just a little stronger.

I think that pretty soon they don't make books like these anymore because of all that woke-shit. So I am glad that I still have many more Bosch-books to go. Cheers for the future good reading times with those! ( )

After reading the first two books in the Lincoln Lawyer series and enjoying them, I wanted to return to where it all started for Michael Connelly.

The Black Echo, published in 1992, reads like an early 90s novel. The main character has many problematic opinions about everyone, from gay people to female FBI agents. But keeping in mind that this book is a product of its time and that Connelly has improved in that department quite a bit over the following decades, I decided to continue reading.

I liked Bosch well enough (aside from those problematic aspects I mentioned above). He's a tough, no-nonsense detective who isn't afraid to bend the rules to get the job done. He's intelligent, detail-oriented, and determined. Everything I'd want in a detective. He's also a complex character, and Connelly does an excellent job of capturing his inner turmoil and struggles.

The writing style is indicative of Connelly's future works -- his talent shines in this debut, and it's clear to see why he kept writing and why readers continued to clamour for his work.

I will continue with this series and look forward to charting Connelly's growth as a writer through his work. ( )

Big, brooding debut police thriller by Los Angeles Times crime-reporter Connelly, whose labyrinthine tale of a cop tracking vicious bank-robbers sparks and smolders but never quite catches fire. Swift and sure, with sharp characterizations, but at heart really a tightly wrapped package of cop-thriller cliches, from the hero's Dirty Harry persona to the venal brass, the mad-dog IAD cops, and the not-so-surprising villains. Still, Connelly knows his turf and perhaps he'll map it more freshly next time out.

Harry Bosch, detective de la policía de Los Ángeles quedó marcado por la dura experiencia de Vietnam. Ahora, un caso le devuelve su pasado. La víctima, Billy Meadows, había servido en su misma unidad. Ambos eran ratas de túnel que combatían en la red de pasajes subterráneos del Viet Cong; ambos experimentaron el terror del eco negro: la reverberación en las tinieblas de su propio pánico. Ahora Meadows está muerto. Pero su rastro parece apuntar a un gran atraco bancario perpetrado a través de túneles de alcantarillado.
