The Black Echo - Michael Connelly

I watched the Bosch series on Amazon a couple of years ago, I had never heard of the author or the Bosch books before that but found the first book, The Black Echo recently at a used book store and decided to check it out.

I really liked the book. The time frame is obviously different (early 90s vs 2010’s) and Bosch being a Vietnam vet plays a much bigger role in the plot. I liked the pacing, the build to the caper was good and the payoff was great. The combo of watching the series and having gone to LA last year made it easy to visualize the city as an important character. I want to check out the next couple of books. I was never really a mystery guy but have gotten more into noir/neo noir the last few years.
