*5 Stars* *

I absolutely devoured this book - I love this world that Michael Connelly has created, and I've said it before, and I'll say it again - he's my favourite crime writer. This latest book in the Ballard/Bosch universe gives us plenty - it's got Ballard doing things her own way and digging down, its got Harry in there and we got Maddie too which was fantastic.

I love how all 3 characters really bring something to the story, and even some of the rest of the Open Unsolved team too. A few things going on simultaneously in this, but Connelly has it all play out well and in a way that makes sense. I really liked how everything played out (except of course one sad thing that happens) and I'm so so keen to read more of this world. Highly recommend.
