What a treat!!

Usually Michael Connelly novels are published in the autumn annually but this year there is a second book and it is Nightshade.

I have read all of the author’s previous books, whether that’s the Bosch/ Lincoln Lawyer ones or the stand-alones and Nightshade is another superb police procedural with great pacing and numerous twists and turns.

Hopefully, the new main character, Detective Stilwell, returns and we can look forward to 2 excellent books a year from a writer who is showing no signs of diminishing returns.

An excellent read.

Another excellent investigative novel by the best in the business..
After the retirement of Harry Bosch, I was wondering how Michael Connelly would take it forward, and if his stories would lose something. No fear of that. His latest hero is on the outs with his employers, fighting insurmountable obstacles in the way of his investigation, and relentless in closing the case. Existing fans won't be disappointed, and new fans will have a juicy investigation story to go at. Still up there at the top echelon of police/detectives, but with a focus on today's happenings rather than chasing cold cases. Thank you Mr Connelly.
