Can’t wait for it to arrive

Haven’t received it yet but I can’t wait to read it. I’ve read all of the Harry Bosch books and have seen all the episodes. If Bosch is in this book… which he is…. I’m all in.

Very disappointing

I normally like Connelly's books and was really looking forward to this new character, especially since her name is Renee which is also my name and not one commonly found in literature. The story line was okay - nothing especially earth shattering though. What I didn't like was the over use of the "F" bomb. Now maybe this is the way police talk all the time. I don't know. There are no law enforcement professionals in my family. I have a degree in English and although I'm no Puritan, I've always held to the belief that if the only word one can use is the aforementioned "F" bomb, then you need to expand your vocabulary. I will not read another of this series.
