Classic's Reviews:

Retirement is for the Birds

February 6, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

This book was grim. It looks at a post 9/11 world and how many will just make excuses in the name of keeping our country safe. It also shows how trying to do the right thing could leave you in a hole in the ground dead. Now that Bosch is no longer with the LAPD (read “City of Bones”) he is investigating a cold case that has haunted him for years. A young woman working on a film set was found dead and half naked […]

Bosch and Terry Not Sitting in a Tree

February 6, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

Ehh. This one I did not feel at all. The book went back and forth between Terry McCaleb’s POV (way too much of him) and then Harry Bosch. Since the book is set up as Terry trying to tie Bosch into a murder of a man that was Bosch’s suspect in a prior case, I just couldn’t work up the energy to it. The flow was bad in this one too since it kept jumping back and forth. One of my friend’s told me that […]

Harry Bosch, Avenging Angel

February 6, 2017 by Classic 4 Comments

Trigger warning: Child rape Wow again. This book had everything, in it. Though at times things felt a little bit confusing, Connelly manages to go back and smoothly walk you through things via Harry Bosch or third parties. Howard Elias, who has been a thorn in the LAPD’s side for years, is found murdered on a trolley in the middle of the night. Another passenger was also murdered, but it seems as if the hit centered around Elias. Due to the fact that Elias was […]

Trunk Music (Harry Bosch #5)

February 6, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

Well I was up and down about Harry Bosch. I absolutely love the tv series and decided to go back and read these books. The only book I have read out of the series is “City of Bones.” At the time I had no idea it was part of an ongoing series. It was in one of my grandpa’s Reader’s Digest condensed books that included 3 other novels. I recall liking that story and had an idea at one time to see about other books […]

Secrets to the Grave

February 4, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

I can honestly say that this book creeped me out a lot. With Hoag setting the first scene with a graphic description of the murder victim, and how our bodies break down after death, I may have been off food for several hours while I finished this book. It seems this days I am destined to read book series out of order. I read book #3 last year, and finally went and bought book #2. I will so just go buy book #1 just so […]

The Title Isn’t That Great, but the Book Rocks

February 4, 2017 by Classic 2 Comments

Please note that I gave this book 4.5 stars but rounded it up to 5 stars here. This was a cute book. Unfortunately I read book #6 first, so I already knew that how this story would end up. I am still glad I read it though. The hero/heroine were great. Though I will say that James heroes all seem to be over 6 feet tall with dark hair. And the heroines always have long hair to their backs practically and wear it in a […]
