Title: Something of a Retread
Review: Funny how Michael Connelly has his character Harry Bosch fear he is nothing more than a retread. Yet I can't help but think that Connelly fears the same criticism from his readers. Bosch successfully redeems himself by book's end, but I'm not sure that Connelly does.The Closers is something of a retread. It covers old familiar ground. Bosch is paired up with Kiz Rider - again. He has a less than forthright relationship with her - again. He works on a case with high jingo - again. The case keeps reminding him of his daughter - again. Half the book's a red herring - again. I've read it all before.And yet, having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, just as I enjoy putting my feet into a pair of comfortable old shoes, which I'd rather do any day than to have to break in a stiff new pair of blister makers.
