Neither Glen nor I had heard of this book before he saw it in a book catalog in March, and he ordered it. <br /><br />Wow, you have read all the Harry Bosch novels. I have read only the first two, although I have several more on my TBR that I bought at the book sale. Now, with 21 books in the series, it feels overwhelming.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-68054950521150343642020-07-17T20:21:48.535-07:002020-07-17T20:21:48.535-07:00This sounds very good but I am surprised so many o...This sounds very good but I am surprised so many of your friends own it already when I haven't even heard of it! I hate not being in the know. The cover is unusual.<br /><br />I like books about cold cases and I guess that is how my sister finally convinced me to read Harry Bosch. I didn't think I liked hard-boiled detectives but I enjoy his doggedness (spellcheck tried to change that to ruggedness!) and think I have now read them all.
