The
Closers
DetectiveHarry
Bosch #11
by Michael Connelly
During
his retirement, Harry Bosh had a hip problem. The lack of the cold
metal weight on his hip is one reason Harry Bosch comes out of retirement.
He returns with a former partner to the LAPD as Closers. Closers solve
cold cases. Harry's first file is a high school girl left dead on
a hill near her home. These many years later, her parents and her
friends continue to suffer. Once Harry meets the mother caught up
in time, still living around her daughter's untouched bedroom and
a successful father who's lost his way in order to be found, Harry
feels a deep desire to solve the case, bring the murderer to justice
and find peace for her friends and loved ones. Harry chases various
leads, one pretty big. Big enough to put on tattoos and go undercover.
Harry
Bosch is a strong character. Despite the career moves, his personality
remains the same - sharp and tenacious. Harry seems a little more
grounded when on the PD, but I thought the series was a little more
exciting during his retirement.
The planning
is methodical; the chase suspenseful; the conclusion an interesting
choice. The storyline is continual, which keeps the reader engaged
as Harry moves from one outcome to another. Connelly knows how to
deliver human nature, suspense and challenges to his readers.
