You Really Shouldn’t Share Mascara…That’s My Takeaway From All of This

February 10, 2017 by Melina Leave a Comment

  This book keeps popping up on book lists everywhere and then someone in our book club picked it, but then changed her mind to have us read Just Mercy  instead (this was last year which is why I don’t have a review for it).  But…I had already purchased the book and so I decided that eventually I would get to it. After reading The Kind Worth Killing I realized that I’ve been missing suspense and mystery in my life.  Soooo…I turned to The Woman […]

Bosch Does It Again

February 8, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

So this was the last Harry Bosch book I read this past weekend. We have Harry reunited with Kiz and now they are both working in the Open/Unsolved Unit in the LAPD (think Cold Case). Kiz pulled some strings and got Harry back with her and now the former partners are teaming up to figure out who was behind the murder of a young 17 year old girl in 1988. This book has a little bit of everything. You have Harry finally happy again because […]

Death of an Author

February 7, 2017 by Mikki Blu Leave a Comment

This second book by J.K. Rowling aka Robert Galbraith brings us back to the world of Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott.  After solving the case of Lula Landry in the previous book, Strike is somewhat more well known now. He’s had steady work, moved out of his office into a cramped apartment (a small step, but moving on nonetheless).  A new case has just opened up for him, involving missing author Owen Quine.  His wife is convinced that Quine is just off on a jaunt […]

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 […]

    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.
