The Books of Michael Connelly discussion

The first Bosch where it all started...

Cool!

Although I have a number of the Bosch novels on kindle I am purchasing the paperback editions The first 2 in the series black echo and black ice have some nice shots of LA

That's cool! I have Black Echo on my kindle already.

Me too but there’s something about the physical book.....it’s like a comparison between long playing records and streaming...

I hear ya. I can understand that.

I read Black Echo about a month ago! After I think three Lincoln Lawyer books. My father in law got me the latest LL book for Xmas, which started my Michael Connelly obsession.

SO what's your favorite thing about Black Echo? My favorite thing is the plot. Second is the characters.

Are spoilers allowed here?

What kinds of things do you want to discuss?

I think if you discuss the stormy best to use spoilers. I’m going to reread the The Black Exhi before I write my thoughts.

Just an interesting fact. I now make Harry in his late 60s. He was of course a tunnel rat in Vietnam, however in the Amazon Prime series he is an Iraq vet and that works just as well

For stormy read story above😀

Ok 16% in and I am loving it...which is not a surprise. I read it last year and actually only awarded 3 stars for some reason. What I love is getting the back story on Harry and learning about his early life in the army as a tunnel rat in Vietnam. It is interesting to note that the tv series comes forward 20 odd years and instead of Vietnam Harry is an Iraq war vet...

So this is where Bosch meets Eleanor Wish and talk about sparks flying....they are so unsuited each scoring points of the other I am Spartacus comes to mind😀

Well I have finished my third reading of this the first Bosch. It's important for fans as it is the first meeting of Bosch and Eleanor and I don't what anyone else thinks but they are so unsuited....they have both large egos and are much too used to living alone...do you agree?
