Alive & Twitching

Michael Connelly writes very impressive thrillers which, as the writer was formerly a police reporter for The Los Angeles Times, have an authentic feel. His novels are cleverly plotted and fast-paced.

 

The majority of Connelly’s novels feature Harry Bosch, a detective with the Local Angeles Police Department. There are 14 in the series so far. He also writes stand-alone novels. I am a relative newcomer to this author and have, so far, read six of his books, all of which I thoroughly enjoyed. They are, in order of publication:

• Blood Work (1998)
• Angels Flight (1999)
• City of Bones (2002)
• Lost Light (2003)
• The Lincoln Lawyer (2005)
• Echo Park (2006)

Four of the above are Harry Bosch novels. The two stand-alones are Blood Work and The Lincoln Lawyer.
