Title: Major Disappointment
Review: Having read all of Michael Connelly's books, some of them more than once, I was looking forward to this one because he was teaming his characters McCaleb and Bosch for the first time. What I didn't know was that he'd come up with the ludicrous idea of having McCaleb think Bosch was guilty of murder, perhaps even being a serial killer! Those of us who've read this series know Harry Bosch has got a lot of flaws, but deep-seated psychosis isn't one of them. So, the book just didn't ring true for me and completely lacked any suspense. Bosch and McCaleb would've been better served if Connelly'd had them tracking a serial killer together, instead of Bosch trying to prove his innocence. Plus the references to Connelly's other books (Poet and Void Moon) were disconcerting. Reread The Black Echo or The Concrete Blonde and hope Connelly returns to form with the next book.
