## Description

desertcart.com: The Black Ice: Harry Bosch Series, Book 2 (Audible Audio Edition): Michael Connelly, Dick Hill, Brilliance Audio: Audible Books & Originals

Review: I highly recommend this book - As a former police officer, I enjoy Connelly's police novels and have read 5 so far, and want to buy more. Like all his other novels, The Black Ice is a thrilling page-turner, making you wish you could read faster. He builds a background and personality for his characters to make them feel real and believable. When desertcart ended the Bosch series, I had to have more and decided I needed to buy the novels that inspired the creation of the desertcart series. I was not disappointed! And, who knew he also wrote The Lincoln Lawyer? Connelly paints a vivid and real picture of LA and Hollywood, places I know very well, being a native of LA County. He does it so well it is like watching a movie in your mind. He names all the famous restaurants in LA, dives, and streets, and he knows the police codes, slang, and equipment used. You would think he was once a police officer, even though he wasn't. The story is fascinating, journeying from LA to Calexico/Mexicali with real vividness along the way. I kept saying to myself, "I know that place!" I highly recommend this book, especially if you are a former LEO.
Review: Well told detective tale if a slight bit on-the-nose in places..... - So this was my first introduction into the Harry Bosch series and overall, the second book in the series. While guilty of a couple cliche's and contrived plot points, the writing itself was strong enough to overcome these shortcomings and in the end, the story ends up being a pretty enjoyable detective procedural/mystery. Harry himself is a fairly enjoyable character who at times was refreshingly different for a cop, but also falls victim to some of the cliche's of the genre with his chain smoking, lone wolf ways. Of course, this sense of Harry vs. the world type of story-telling allows you to empathize and relate to what Harry goes through quite nicely, but has the slightly adverse effect of making pretty much every other character not very well fleshed out and somewhat one-dimensional. Even Harry's primary love interest who's a central character in the story itself is little more than a pretty, albeit, grieving face who - of course (and IMO, far too quickly) - seeks comfort in Harry's arms. That being said, the mystery and how it unfolds was very satisfactory and kept you guessing very nicely until the very end, and after it was all said and done, there are a few mysteries that you don't ever quite get the answers too. The action was sporadic, but very well done when it existed. I particularly enjoyed the description of the bull-fight and the action down in Mexico. At times the writing was very strong and really drew me into the story and at other times was merely serviceable, but it never lapsed into poor or shoddy writing. Overall, I ended up enjoying the story and pacing well enough to definitely continue in the Harry Bosch series once I get the urge to read another crime novel again.
